Stupid question : Blue glass?
So, this is normally the part in the W211 forum in which I chime in and say something like "search the effing forum, stupid" when a newb asks a stupid question. So, here I am in that same position, so I'll understand the snide remarks.
However, I did search the forum and found nothing. Here's my question:
On my other MBs, they all have a blue tint to the glass. Actually, my R500 doesn't, it's more of a mirror finish. I think that's due to the electrostatic glass. Anywho, my new to me SL600 doesn't appear to have this. Was this not a standard feature of the R230's?

Clayton...SL's don't have blue glass, at least I don't think they do; I've owned 2, my SL500 R230 and my SL55 R230...neither had bluish glass...
- are you getting your windows tinted, if so by whom? let me know. I can offer a few suggestions as well on some shops if you don't have one yet. R230 looks great w/ tinted windows, not too dark just right
- What are you doing about lowering? I'd like to get mine lowered with STAR; let me know what you're planning about lowering; maybe we can get them both done together...we may need to talk to hef to see if he can help us out

Thanks, gents.
Sunir, I can get us STAR lowering but it has to be on the down low, as it's frowned upon at the place of business, and done in a dark alley at midnight by a band of gypsy pygmies. Well, at least I was able to get my E500 lowered before I put in the ELM. And yes, Hef would be able to help us.

... maybe with both of us we can get a little better pricing; STAR lowering is the way to go. we can keep our high setting safely and still have the disirable low setting done by STAR.Looking forward to it!
and to seeing your beuatiful car!
