Tint or No Tint

Do most of you tint your CLK windows?

I kinda like it without the tint...but I live in Houston and the heat is awful. I'm trying to decide whether I should tint or not. I 'm not sure how much this would save me from the heat anyway.

I should have my car next week hopefully.

2004 W209.

i hear VKool is a nice clear film that works just like tint. i think it depends on the color of the car sometimes.. the only color i think tint does not look good on is blues, and metallic reds like firemist.

I tinted mine and i really like it. The tint keeps the car cool compare if it wasn't tinted.
Btw, mine is C240 and I got a metallic window tint. I don't like black tint. it's only my opinion.

I think it depends on the color of the car. Tint on light colored cars cars can go either way but on a black car it makes the whole car into one flowing shape. I don't really like the super black out stuff anymore (guess I'm getting old ) but a nice medium to light tint looks good. Also the standard blue tint looks great against an ash interior.

I'm getting a Silver/Charcoal.

I would definitely go for a light tint. I don't like the dark stuff either. I do like the standard blue tint too.

I've only seen 1 CLK with tint. All the others I've seen on the roads are using the standard blue tint (which I do like).
