here is 20% all around on the blue smoked glass(the factory blue smoke is the equivalent of having a 40% tint already on the car)

Again, don't skimp out. Get those felt strips. We had our old CLK tinted with felt strips and it showed no signs of scratches. A friend didn't, it got scratched within a few months so he took out the tint. There is nothing more irritating than being surrounded by tiny vertical blemishes.

How could anyone drive with anything lower than 15%? It's almost like being pitch black at night. I had 15% on mine when i first bought the car. My bro told me to get it becuase it would "sick". He tinted his CLK with a lighter tint (i think a 25%) which was nice - but he did get pulled over for it once. i took my 15% tints off after 2 weeks becuase of interior glare/reflection and i couldn't see much at night. I dont know how you guys do it. I must be freaking blind LOL.
