35% Tint all around is done...

Guys,

A couple of you had asked about what the car looks like w/ 35% all around, here are some pics on a base E500 (non-sport)...

So far i'm very happy i didn't go darker. Its plenty of tint (for me) and still have decent vision at night. I got the 4 side windows + the rear done.
Now i just prey the cops don't bother me!

Looks great, but looks like they omitted that triangular section towards the rear of the qtr. window. How much did it run ya?

The corner of the small glass you are talking about can not be completely tinted. I think it is some flat colored black plastic that is molded in with the glass.

Looks good, I have 20% all the way around on mine and 38% on the front. Night vision is still good thanks to the bi-xenons.

thanks guys...

for the comments.

yes - the corners can only be tinted if you remove the door panels - not something i particularly longed for as i don't notice it at all w/ the dark interior.

Very nice, but in the shade it probably looks darker than it really is. I like a nice light tint all around anyway. I think it looks a lot cleaner.

Your tint not only looks clean, but still maintain the classy look of a Benz. Excellent choice! Yes, I've heard many stories that it would be difficult to tint those triangles. It would entail removing the door pannels.
