These guys signaturetint in Costa Mesa rock, they cut the film via computer so that piece for the "shark fin" area of the rear corner window of the rear doors is pre cut perfect and they are able to get it back there and pushed on the glass for the sweet full black look. I got 5& rear and 20% front, I also had the visor strip installed too, top notch work. I just had mine done there a few weeks ago because I had to replace the film from the previous owner. They do alot of high end cars, the pic in my sig is my old tint by the way.

Socal peeps ask for Dave or Kerry and tell them Bryan with the black E55 sent ya !!

Is it ceramic tint?

MJ50

Vader55

Yes, they have it, I went with the "blackest" looking tint they have because I have a black car.

Vader55

MJ,

Click the link and go to the photo album tab and you can see a lot of pics with details of what percent and brand film is on the windows etc.

Vader55

Did you go yet ?

does the tint "bleed" out to the edge of the top of the glass, for that "factory dipped" look or is there a small clear edge?

Vader55

Yessir!

Had mine done by them a few weeks back.

Awesome shop and really good people.

I went with metalic film all around and ceramic on the windshield.

Looks great.

vader...
1. roughly how much...
2. pics of your car with the 'new' tint

I think a basic tint is around $225.

They put felt guides in my door panels, cause apparently MB doesn't use the felt lined rubber that every other manufacturer in the world does for their doors. $20 per door.

The ceramic on the windshield was around $150.

In my opinion well worth the few extra bucks for a quality job, in a clean shop, from people who know their ****. Actually, the prices are in line with most shops and a little cheaper than other 'high end' shops.

Vader55

Around $225 and up depending on what brand tint and if you get a visor etc. Here is a couple pics

Well said

So is this a must with the W211 with tint? Do they replace the OEM rubber with this piece or is it an add on?

I bought my car with tint and the interior rubber piece looks like it got trimmed off instead of getting felt added. The rubber does not rub the window (and tint) as the window gets opened/closed but this raises 2 issues:

1. I don't like that there is nothing to stop something small from falling into that crevice.
2. I think it adds wind noise to the interior.

I did get the dealer to agree to replace the rubber but they claim no felt is needed. I just wanted another observation.

For $80, I figured I'd rather not risk my new ceramic film.

They basically just glue a soft felt strip on the inside of the rubber piece.

hey Vader55 where u get the smoked tail light?

donjuan45i

what felt guide are you guys talking about?

Vader55

They were sprayed and cleared professionally by the previous owner. Any good paint and body shop can do it.

Vader55

I know the S-Class needs the moleskin guide, I do not think it is an issue on the W211

The tint person was able to fix my tint. Thanks for the link to this thread though.

Btw, you car looks great!

I know this is old, but i had to ask. Did you pay $225 including the removal of old tint?
