Factory Blue Tint
I want to add the factory blue tint to my slk...my friend told me that it's reflective so that you have to get real close to see what's inside the car? It'll be great if any of you guys can post pics of how it looks like...cuz from the pics i've seen it just seems like regular blue coloured windows with total transparency.

Although the Mercedes light blue tinted windows are unique, there are other tints (gray) that would probably look better. I can't say I've ever seen an aftermarket tint close to the Mercedes factory blue . I think it would be hard to find something close in blue that would look good. What color is your SLK?

Also, can you post some pics of it?

Mine just came with a blue tint - didn't order it. I don't like it. It looks nice from the outside, but it makes the world look gloomier from inside the car.

Ginger - not sure that you can add the MBZ factory tint, but you should be able to fairly easily obtain a blue tint from a vendor who does tinting....
Here's a pic of the factory tint:

MBZ SLK
I think that blue tint comes on the CLK500 cabriolet also, I could be wrong but I recall seeing one on the showroom floor and the windows looks a little blue.
