Looks great!

Very nice 😀

That really does look great. What percentages are the tint? I know I will be tinting mine eventually. Only reason I’m waiting is I want to see how well the IR barrier in the Acoustic Comfort package works through some summer days first.

It's Llumar Ceramic. 30 on the front and 15 on the back. I also had them do a 30 top strip across the top of the windshield. It's amazing how from in the car you can still see out fine even at night but from outside looking in it looks a lot darker. My car has the Acoustic comfort package but here in Florida the extra tint has really helped out. The car is a lot cooler when it's closed up when I first get in. Ceramic tint is the best to go with, you don't want to get something that is going to block your cell phone signal from inside the car or radar detector. The new tires are working out good too, the michelin primacy has a very soft rubber compound and really soaks up the bumps. Much more comfortable and less noise. The Goodyear Eagle sports Ultra high performance tires did handle better when really pushed hard around tight bends but the loss of the better handling does not bother me, this a luxury car, not a sports car.

i had Llumar ceramic on my W212 and it was great stuff. I think legally I can’t go quite as dark as you’ve got yours, but I’m inspired. My wagon is also white (I’ve got the night package) and I can’t help but think these are stormtrooper edition wagons.

Which white did you get? Any clear bra protection?
It looks nice for a station wagon.

looks saawwwweet. Do the wagons come with the rears pre tinted already?

Thanks. Ya the rears are tinted already so they are probably like an equivalent of a 50 percent tint whereas the fronts are just 30. I’m really liking the car a lot. I’m doing a tennis tournament with all my tennis gear in the back and will continue driving up north to R.I. I do a lot of driving these days. This car is a very practical and fun to drive car for me. No complaints with the twin turbo v6 power plant. It does everything I need and is fun to drive in sport plus mode around town and yet gets 31 mpg at 70 mph on the highway.

Neither of mine came tinted from the factory. Or if they did, it’s very very light. I can easily see through the back glass in dim lighting from the outside.

Privacy glass (as it is called in UK) is an option on ordering. I have it...

Mine came tinted with the night package, but its not a very dark tint.

JDPE is that a 2019?. Thats about how mine looked before the tint, the tint compounded the rear windows and made it that much darker. I was not aware of any specific package on mine that would make the rear windows darker, I thought that's just the way they all came. Maybe it's a 2019 thing vs 2018? I do have the acoustic glass package and the luxury package but I don't think either of those adds tint, just mainly a barrier to the windshield to keep out sun radiation and noise.

Mine is a coupe but the rear windows came tinted as part of the night package.

madtrader

I also have the night package, but the rear glass is as clear as the windshield.

Not sure why mine was tinted? Maybe the luxury package, JDPE UK does the Remote Parking assist work there in UK? I'm really hoping they add to USA cars but have my doubts, it would be nice. Or is it something that is more of a pain than it's worth to use? Thats kinda how I feel about the regular self parking feature as it does not seem to work so well so I don't really bother with it.

JDPEClassUK

Yes mine is a 2019 and rear ‘Privacy Glass’ was an option on ordering in UK.

the remote parking does work in UK and is very useful. Both the straight forward and back to get in and out of garage or the park assist work great using phone whilst outside of car.

wow jealous. We always get the shaft in the USA. Eu gets all the good stuff
