35% and 50%. Dealer Installed before the car came to me.
The car puts a grin on my face from stoplight to stoplight. I am not sure what I would do with all that extra HP you are pushing. Can't wait to see the new HRE's

Mike73, maybe a front add on lip from Carlsson will make you smile wider!

Anyways, nice car, nice pictures and drive safe.

Oh yeah, please visit me if you have any Renntech questions

He may mean the rear window is 35% and the sides are 50%?

I was thinking the same thing. Which one is the 50%.

He has the perfect tint shade. That is exactly the tint percentage I want. IMO, it looks perfect.

thas gotta be 35% on the side windows. i have 35% myself n it looks the same. its very easy to get away with the cops. under certain angle of light n during the night, its really hard to see what's going on inside hahaa

it is supposed to be 35 front 50 on rears. stepping one stage darker for the rears.
in the pics you can't see the difference. it is supposed to be a subtle change. just enough for the cops to look the other way.
I have done my last 3 cars like this.

thanks for the kind words.

i would almost put money down that the tint percentage is the same front and back! from the photos anyway...

I dont know how you guys rate your tint, but from my knowledge (or at least how we do it in AUS!) the number represents the % of light transmission. So your saying its meant to be darker on the fronts and lighter tint on the rear..

Unless you guys use your numbers backwards to us?!

Yep, our toilets flush the other way too. J/K. I think he just got the numbers reversed. Of course, I agree it all looks the same level of tint.

BTW, has anyone gone with just a deeper shade of blue? I really like the MB blue tint, and wouldn't mind making it a little darker, but I don't want to lose that blue shading...if someone has done this, any links to pics would be awesome.

my bad. it is reversed. the percentages always confuse me. it is supposed to be a shade darker in the rear. it is so close though even when I have been at the tint shop with other cars. since it was done at the dealer out of state before the car got to me it could be the same all around. just going on what i was told. sorry if there has been any confusion.
