Mine was with the metalized tint so the heat shouldnt get in the car so much and then they sand the edges so you cant feel the film on the windows, thats how the police check if its factory tint or aftermarket which is illegal

Cops here if they see that your car windows are too dark. They use a window tint tester. Which slides over the edge of the window.

lol, so seems like its the same story all over the world, that cops need to get a life and deal with the real crimes instead of harrassing "normal" ppl
but is it in all states its like that or? im usually in Florida once or twice a year to visit one of my suppliers and Ive noticed that even the cops have tinted frontwindows there ?

Now that was super Cheap...I am thinking of white on mine W221 even though it is black.And leave the roof black like the panorama look...But here in Sweden i pay like $2000 with no invoice so you must have a really GOOD deal...Not sure on flat white though. Not a big fan of it. But affraid the glossy one is not glossy enough.

A friend of mine did his black w221 white, it looked really good and glossy, but when u open the doors and you can see its black, thats just not cool, fair enough if its a DHL / UPS truck, but not on a S class ;-)

Hi newbie here and need your help. My awesome salesman at Audi Henderson (Sal in Henderson/Las Vegas, NV...they're the best) hooked me up with complimentary tint job for the MB R350 we purchased just to make the car have that "complete look". The car only had the back windows tinted. A miscommunication or lack of happened between the service manager & the place they get their tint, because they also tinted the windshield (w/c the service manager @ Audi H suggested we do not do bc it could affect the sensors). Anyways, it's done anyway, I'm not complaining...it's free, it looks great, & it keeps that pesky desert sun out of my way. I'm hoping my sensors are not affected. But I couldn't be that lucky, my Parktronic sensors aren't working. I have an appointment next week to bring the car back in.
My dilemma, I now want a tint on my windshield since I've seen & felt the difference but I also love my Parktronic feature. What tint (percentage), type, or/and method should I suggeset be used on my windshield where I my sensors won't be affected?
And has anybody used their Parktronic feature to parallel park? if so, pls tell me how? hehehe
TIA

ok maybe i am new to the whole mercedes scene, by parktronic, do you mean the parking sensors? if so, they are on the bumpers right? if there are any sensors around the windshield, i would think it's the distronic setup close to the rear view mirror.
one sensor i can think of around the windshield is the rain sensor and light sensor for headlights. but if anything, i wonder if you can just cut out part of the windshield tint to unblock those areas

Well I actually dont think it looks strange at all. Black is a color comenly used inside engine rooms and so on so I dont think it is that bad. The car has black details in more places as well so...But we will see. The good thing with wrapping is you can easely regret it and just remove it.

I bought special black tint spray and used a whole can on each light, wetsanding between each layer, and then I took them to my painter and he gave them 3x clear coat and they we polished them
