Thanks, The tint is dark in the back of the car and medium in the front, I am not sure of the %.. I fly around no problem with zero rubbing Newt, It is set as low as it can go. lol
And I would like to go for that matter. It is about an inch maybe an inch and 1/2 lower than before which was setup for 20's , which would not work with this setup now. laughs

holy *****. You need to blast Low Rider by War when you tool around town in that whip.
Looks nice! I would love to see it with a silver grille though.

My car is white sitting with 5% tint looks about dark as yours. I hate to take it off, it's such a good job. Oh and the A/C blows snowballs in the summer heat, I never thought limo tint would make such a dramatic difference. Guess I'll ride it out as long as I can.

Honestly, I'm not into the non-amg kit, blacked out grill or lowering the S's much .. but I gotta give props, you make this look good.
Don't know if it's the combo, just your car or what, but very nicely done! Oh, rims are tight as f
k too.
Happy rollin!

Right on guys, Thanks. I bought the paint (dark shadow grey) to spray the front part of the grille ( leaving the inner slats black ) but I am not sure if I wanna ruin this Grille by painting it and then not liking it
. any thoughts ?

very nicely done ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
that ride height is just oh so perfect too...
i think if u paint the grille with the same color as the rims they'd look even better!
DO IT!!

Here are the pics of the grille painted, I noticed that there is a much better definition to the grille now with outside painted dark shadow grey and the inner slats black. Now it does not look like a black hole and I am very happy with it. If you compare to my pics in the original post you can see the difference.

Why can the lip be seen underneath your front bumper? The only time I could see that on my car was when I ran over a fox that ripped the undertray apart. That lip should be black

Thanks schwarz,
No, I wanted the matte look + it will be very easy to re-spray too.
zmaster007,
The black molding piece that fits on that silver nub is missing so that is what your are seeing, I have not replaced it because I am going to add lip spoiler there so I have not bothered to replace it.
