I'm thinking about tinting my E 15% on the back and rear windows and 35% on the front windows. Please post pics of your car with tint and what % it is.

Thanks!

What is quantum?

MPTLPTR

Thanks for the pic... I noticed that you got the corner of the rear quarter window tinted as well. Do you know if they had to take the whole door panel off or just that piece?

quantum is a newer tint out from solar gard. it brings out the color of the original tint (blue), and is quite reflective. it's also the easiest to see out off (have other cars w/ titanium and charcoal tint). it's also more expensive.

the tint guy i go to does it for all the high end imports. i asked him about the rear quarter glass and how he did it cause everywhere else said they can't do it. his reply "mad ninja skills" , so to answer your question, i have no idea......

Looks nice. My mom's doesn't have that rear quarter tinted either. It looks way nicer with that part tinted.

ealpha

Here is mine with 35% smoke

Thanks for the info. I may go for the same tint.

EPower

Here's mine. 20% sides, 35% rear window.

Tezta

ealpha, did you lower your car?

anerbe

for those with problems with the picture link, it should be accessible now....

Anerbe,
Is that Quantum tint legal? I like the reflective type, just don't need strees with the Police.

Tezta

Anerbe,

your car looks insane from the front view..that tint matches the Pano roof so well its almost as if its one huge piece of glass.

smoothb

get 50% all around it looks classy

anerbe

well, i guess it depends.....most think that it won't be as big of a problem (will not stand out as much) as straight black smoke tint, becuase it looks lighter (although almost impossible to see inside) and it matches the car more. it is illegal to have anything on the front windows here except the 4" strip on the top. however, the trend seems to be that the nicer cars with tint do not get hassled as much as a less expensive (and older) vehicle.

i still need to take a picture from the inside looking out on the windshield, because it is very easy to see outside. it actually seems as though the color contrast is more detailed than without the tint (polarized look). 28% on the windshield poses no problems.

I do have a note however just in case, but i have pulled up next to cops who do not give second glances with the tint completely up.

Thanks.

Ealpha and Epower, you guys have nice tints on your cars. It appears as if the blue sport factory window tint is still visible in the pics you posted. Is this the case?

ealpha

yes, you can still see the blue hue

and Tezta, yes I just had it lowered.

AMG BRED

35% smoke tint all around..



weird thing.. same exact tint (film and percentage) on the CLK and it came out wayyy darker



what gives?

Tezta

maybe its the way it contrasts with the ligher color? i bet a white car with 35% tint will look very dark.

Contrast between the colors is one reason. Next, what color are the interiors (lighter int. will make tint appear lighter)? Also, it has to do with how bright it was out when the pics. were taken...
