Who's got Tint

My questions are starting to fall in place. Awhile back I posted a thread about being paranoid with the sound coming from the back passenger window area. Kinda like something was looose. Well today I noticed that passenger rear window didn't have tint to it like the other windows. Maybe the previous owner had replaced the window anyways what's the stock tint % do they come stock with ??

it depends on which state you're in, because each state has its own tint law

'03 CLK 320 Coupe
To answer the title question, I have tint, sides and back, on my '03 320. The previous owner must have had it installed. Normally, I would never want tinted windows (and it almost prevented me from even looking at this car!), but I think it looks fantastic on this Brilliant Silver coupe.

A good tint vendor should be able to tell you. I'm still debating on tinting or leaving as is with the factory blue hue.

i would stick with the factory blue hue if it came with the car. i actually like it better. but i wouldnt get it as an aftermarket job.

and yes any tint place should be able to match it with the same % tint with ease.

'03 CLK 320 Coupe
I've seen the blue tint on the higher-level cars and I don't like it...I'm glad mine doesn't have it. It reminds me a little of those '50's era green-tinted roof panels, some cars used to have, LOL! I prefer the nice, very well-done, aftermarket smoke tint that mine has...or no tint at all. (I think it did have a very slight gray tint from the factory...judging from the gray band at the top of the windshield...and that's fine.)
