Tints in So Florida

Just moved down to So Florida, anyone know a good place to get tints in Palm Beach area?

Also, I see there are mixed feelings about changing the rubber strip to felt, should I worry about this?

Any suggestions on what looks best on silver car? I think legal limit in FL is 28% so I'll probably stick to that.

Thanks!

Tony @ MB Autohaus in Pompano is the sub on premesis for window tints.

Tony did mine on 3 MBs over the years. He does quality work and stands behind the tint application. He knows the Benzes in and out. I recommend him highly without hesitation.

karl k,

I am looking into having this done as well. Trying to decide between 35% and 50%. Any suggestions?

Chappy -

Tony is the expert on tinting, not I.

(I became an expert in digital photography, - can't post anything, --- webmaster allows only one lousy byte. That's more than one period....)

However, I asked him - Tony - to get me a light tint with max. UV protection, while recognizing, that dark shades are illegal in many states.

You may want to check with YOUR police dept. Here in Miami, they tell you what is legal and what is not, which may not be legal up north incl. Canada.

Is the world econ. summit in Atlanta this week?

G8 is on Sea Island, near Savannah.

The legal limit here in GA is 32%. What shade do you have on your CLK? (I'm guessing 50%).
