Cool

nice! I love the way your car looks, have you seen other cars out there with mioor tint? during the day light the tint appears a silver gray reflective color simlar to your car color. during the night depending on how dark you go it appears to be 20% to 35% regular tint. IMO it would look good with your color and wheel combo!

Ok i might get to tinting it this b4 spring since the weather has been real bad!
Also what shops do you guys or methods on tinting for the tails? I just want to make a good choice i might just send out an extra set and have them do it so i can keep my stocks on in the meantime. Thanks again you've been very helpful on me reaching a decision!

stay consistent and just go dark all around, especially, with a nice ride like yours! i like the setup on your 220 - very nice!

Dark for sure....I have had my car for 6 years now and I am ready for a change. I am looking at an 2004 + AMG E55 or an 06 BMW M5. (you know I will be slamming it on 19's). I really like the M5 but they are about 15k more then I can get an E55 for...will see.

E55 would be a better value!
