I put 35% on my car 2 days after I bought it.. Some cars IMO require more than that to make it look right some cars require less.. The 35% tint on my car gave it a classy look it never had without the tint.. I think its the perfect level and anything darker would of taken away from the car rather than added to it.. My tint guy was tryin to get me to do 35% on the windshield but I decided against it as I drive the car at night and dont want to worry about not being able to see anything out the front..
If you guys want to have tints done on your Benz's I have the perfect tint guy. He is VERY good at what he does.. Uses Llumar tint (has a lifetime warranty on the tint plus he guarantees his work) and installs it the right way by adding the felt on the window grippers so it does not scratch or streak the tint.. He's located in Astoria and willing to do "group buy's" to cut the price down.. I paid $200 to have mine tinted (without the windshield) If anyone is wondering about his work im willing to meet up so you can see the job he did on my car.. It truly is flawless..
PS - Did you guys know Michigan is the only state in the country that has NO TINT laws? You can tint the windshield limo if you wanted to and cops cant do a damn thing about it
I believe Florida and S. Dakota are next with a 15% limit..

Looks really good.
Well I had one hell of an adventure today.
So Driving back to the Tint Shop like 25 min in traffic. Fianlly get off my exit and Im in the left lane and another car in the right lane. We can both turn left from there as long as you go into you own LANES. This stupid ***** who looks like 18-21 turns into both lanes partially mine and hers as I try to fit in and look at her car at the same time I end up hitting the curb with my wheel or my side skirt no clue, car just ****ing jumped. I shoudlve been looking more clearly on the road as this turn is like on a hill either way, I tohught I was clear enough. guess I want. Thx god I was driving slow and in W mode as its super heavy snow now in NY. I pulled over and no damage I guess. I guess my tire just rubbed against it.
So I arrive there at like 3:10 and basically he tells me because of the snow the job wouldntt be done so well and he doesnt want me coming back with complaints and it disoriented him or w.e or maybe sched got ****ed up. basically he was like come in tommorow morning.
On the way home on the streets of BROOKLYN. The snow fully pilled on the Street and froze up. no steet contact at all with the wheels. Now here's the best part im driving on SUMMER TIRES. At 1 mph any accelration or the brakes were causing the car to spin out left and right like hell lol.
Fianlly I get to my house in this mayham no damn parking as I make 4 circles, I end up parking all the way at the end of the next block. As I get near my house 3 ****ing spots around my building rofl.. Well thats that.

ya the snow sucks makes me think i should have gotten a 4matic
seen alot of accidents and almost got in one pulling out of my drive way some a$$hole in an old altima speeding down the block brakes and slides 10 feet and youd think people would slow down when they see a car inching out of the drive way, nope they speed around

Nah When I push the button nothing happens either.
It seems it is off as it doesnt display in the Instrument Panel.
But I know the ESP is preset in the ECU just like 130 top speed.
So I think its there and it just doenst light up not sure.
How would I know if ESP is working lol. I think i correct my own lil spins today and not the ESP. My spins were at like 5-10 mph. But my car didnt spin litteraly I mean i felt the rear move just a slight when I gased a bit. So I let off the gas and car went back to straight.

So its up finally.
Watched 2 movies while it was being done "Jumper" and "Untraceable"
Im surprised how dark it is, but then I realized its the black leather inside and you can see inside it. Anyways Im very happy. Car is a bit dirty in the pics. I only took 2 pics, Ill take some nice angle shots after I clean the car and with a real camera.
here it is 35%

tint looks fantastic. i co-sgn with the comment mentioned earlier that darker tints look better on dark cars and lighter cars look better with lighter tints. you made the right choice! 
if it were me though i would probably get like 40-50% only cuz im not a fan of trying so hard to see at night haha. anyways, nice look man. but those wheels need to be changed ASAP haha

Thx, I love my AMG's.
Id only take some super dupper rims over the amg's though
Well the front windshield isnt tinted.
Its only 5 windows.
Also the black interior helps, when the car is empty its give an optical illusion as though its like 10-20% tint. But once someone is inside you can see them. 35% is cool.
I cant open my windows for 3 days thats wat he told me. Also there are some bubbles on driver side window, but someone told me it will go away.

i agree the amg rims are beauties. i have amg ones on mine, but the 03+ 55 model ones. im just saying the 00-02 amg's look extremely outdated compared to the 03+ newer ones or the 55 ones.

Did they put felt on the window rubber that grips the window? I hope so otherwise your tint will scratch..

If the shop in question did the tint job right you should have no problems with the tint if your friend rolled down the window by accident.. My parents jacked my car the day after I put the tints on the car and my father also accidentally rolled down the drivers side window to pay for a toll.. It has not been a problem.. And I have never seen bubbles on a tint job before, after they were done unless it was done improperly..

This is 212 they get alot of Benzes.
I heard the bubbles go away after the soap dries.

Vegas should set up a line on the following Over/Under in Days, I’d say 90.
The S -
Is damaged while being parked on the street?
Will be pulled over by NYPD for illegal tint?
The tint bubbles remain until the car is repossessed?
Is unable fix car due too excessive cost and will be on cinder blocks as he sells the rims to raise cash for the repair?
Will post some benign worthless drivel that ends with an emoticon?
