2007 Mercedes SL550
Window Tinting HELP!

Hello MBWorld,


I live in LA and I'm getting my windows tinted this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has feedback on the following:

1) Has anyone had any experience with Pro Tints in Huntington Beach? (this is where I'm getting it done)


2) What type of tint is the best for the SL550?? Can anybody give me suggestions. My car is Silver on Black.

Pro Tint in HB did an awesome job on my Lexus, I love it. But i have not tinted my SL yet.

For my LS430, i had "platinum" tint on it. 55s front, 35s back.

The silver aspect on the platinum tint will compliment your silver car or any lite color car. My Lexus was parchment crystal white.

Bottom line, is personal preference. have fun!
