thanks pks, "lots of luck" didn't make a lot of sense. Where are YOU located, that 20% tint was such a big deal??

I'm pretty sure it's illegal in Mass too. I think the limit there (and most places) is 35%.

Yes. The percent is the amount of light that gets through. So a tint that only allows 20% of the light to get through is darker than one that allows 35%.

C2 (if I remember correctly ) is the power seat, sunroof, rain sensor package.

Hey eddieo45,

Nice to see another W202er on the boards ! I live in southeastern Pennsylvania. The window tint was the only real "mod" that I did to my car. I was so happy at the results at it. It truly accentuated the car, especially because of the darker color (Black Opal). The story was, my parents were driving my car, and they were pulled over. Fortunately, the cop was very nice to my parents, and didn't even check registration or insurance. He simply said, "It's a safety hazard, so just remove it as soon as possible."

So, later that day, I peeled off the tint. The percentage was 20%, so I do admit, it was illegal. It is really soothing on the inside of the car, keeping the heat the down. I am just lucky that I didn't get a ticket for the window tint. I am not sure about other state laws though.

Here is a pic of the car with the tint:

Thanks for the welcome, pks. I've really come to love my W202, which my wife drives. So much so, that I'm looking for an identical C230K Sport for myself (I'm hoping for better fuel economy). I've tried to stay away from mods, aiming for 100% original stock status, though some mods are very tempting. The tint does look great with your paint color, but it gives it the potential gangster/bad guy look that attracts la polizia!
