The Tint looks clean. I'm personally not really feeling the visor, but I'm sure you're doing it more for functionality.
Get them to fix that damage! I'd be to pissed I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Anyone have any pics of tint on palladium? Not sure what it would look like on a lighter car (except white exterior which I think looks fabulous with tint!). Thx.

I'll post some pix tonight on my Tinted Paladium Silver E350 ... but beware as I'm having AM reception issues due to the metallic tint the local MB dealer installed. I'm having them look for a suitable replacement tint materials that won't mess with my AM reception.

I'd feel nekked driving around w/o tint in any car.
When I tinted my CLS, it was right after I got the car. When the VIN inspection was done by the sheriff, he put his tint meter on the window and said it was illegal. But then said that he thought it looked awesome and that if he was me, he'd run it and see if it becomes a problem. Never has.
I'm at 18 % I believe.

Had my W211 tinted all the way around with Huper Optik. Paid a grip for a great job and got my car back with a half tinted looking car. The tint is metallic when the sun glares off it and is not dark enough. Sometimes when it was real sunny, it looked almost as if it didn't have any tint on it.
Had my W212 tinted all the way around medium with whatever HMS uses. Not sure what brand but it's nice and dark. Just the way tint was meant to be.

anyone have their windshield tinted?
'guy' was telling me about a 70% on his windshield, says it helps with glare
and lights and what not.......and being that there is no strip on the top, seems
like it could help.....did notice an antenna of some sort on driver side.....
would this be a concern?

Wish this was posted last week, I just got Huper Optik tints on my car last week and wish I went darker. Didn't want to attract any unwanted police attention with dark tints but Huper 50 is too light, live and learn
