Pictures of your SLK55 with tinted windows

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of tinting the windows on my obsidian black 55 and wanna get an idea of what it would look like so if you have any pics, I'd love to see them! Thanks!

Hey!...I just tinted the windows on my Caspian Blue SLK 55. It looks awesome. A mean machine. A prowler...I got the Llumar charcoal 22% metallic tint. not the darkest(hard to see out of at night) but the next one down. you can barely see in. With the MB minor window treatment already on the windows, I'm probably at 28%. go for it... Black on black. Your car will be scary beautiful.

It'll look great on a black SLK, here's what 15% looks like on silver SLK.

Yep, 15% is dark at night, almost looks like 5% from the outside, during the day, you can still see in so the cops isn't going to harass you, it's perfect percentage IMO. Wish I live there sometimes too, you guys are fortunate, with your good weather and car meets, etc.. I was going to get graphite gray centers, but decided on brushed alum. finished. Black center looks good too. Do it, tinting will match with your black DCR's.

Forgive me if I insult your tinting knowledge. But, I once believed the lower number represented less tint. It's the exact opposite. For example, my car is 50% tint which is much lighter. Of course, I think a darker tint looks better on silver. Post pics when you get it done.
