i had my car in for wrapping yesterday.
1 they couldn’t wrap the roof rails. They said the rails are flush with the roof, and there is no place to tuck the 3M wrapping.
2 they weren’t able to wrap the silver part of the wings in the grill. I see yours is completely black. Is it original night package grill or is it painted?

Yes very good looking wheels, like them. Also the color of the car very nice, Is that Magno Grey? I think it looks too shiny though to be that. What color is that?

Nice to see mud guards, and they look good. Are they MB OEM or what? Where did you get them?

Correct, ceramic tint is more expensive than dyed tint, however it blocks more of the uvula violet rays and dissipate heat much better without being too dark. The day I tinted the car it was almost midday and was a very hot day in the upper 90’s. I was unable to rest my hand on the door armrest because it was so hot. On my way home a couple hours later, I was blown away with the difference on how much cooler it was and was able to rest my hand on the door
The car on an a whole is much cooler in the day. The bright sunlight during the day and bright lights at night are no longer an issue. I even had the panoramic sunroof tinted as well. Now I can enjoy opening the interior shade which I had not done much in two years
Mud guards are not MB OEM because I didn’t want to spend the extra money. The MB OEM was appropriately $200 and I paid $50 on eBay, instead them myself.

The wheels are Velox Custom Ordered Wheels . You probably didn’t notice but the calipers are also painted

Please provide more insight on run flat vs non run flat! Is it a world of a difference? Do you highly recommend it for all?

Did you tint the windshield too? If so is it a clear tine? Didn't think you were allowed to tint the windshield.
I agree, but hadn't found mud guards on eBay that said they would match newer Luxury models, and the side lower structure is different with AMG trim. Do you have a number or link? What year is your beauty?

You then select the year and model. May only be available for Luxury model but I could be wrong
No I didn’t tint the windshield only two side front, two side rear, rear and panoramic sunroof

Non run flat tires are the difference between night and day in my opinion. I have the Luxury model with 17” wheels and my car now feels like a S class. The Bridgestone Quiet Track are also designed for quite and comfort. Purchased 4 for what I would have had to pay for 2 run flat tires. I used one original rim with a run flat tire for spare in my trunk with a jack

car looks great, stealth. what grade of tint did you have installed and are the front D&P windows the same tint as the rear?

The tinting is original MB from factory. The front and side windows are not tinted at all. It might look like on the picture but it's not tinted.

Interesting. I just purchased a new 19 E4504S with the night pkg but really didn’t notice the OEM glass tint before driving it 2o miles and dropping off for clearbra and ceramic pro. Will pick it up in 2 weeks and will look closer.
