I have very dark windows, and over time the tint was getting etched my dirt or something. It messed my tint up and it bothers me every day i see it. So a heads up if it effects most MB's. Keep your windows clean and when you roll down the window make sure you keep the window inside and outside seal clean.
BTW your tint looks great!

4 wheeled car.
The triangle rear side window isn't done correctly. You should have the shop do it where they cut a bit of the rubber and slide the tint all the way in, otherwise, you're left with that unsightly half moon thing in that bottom corner.
I'd also have left the B and triangle windows pillars black as to blend in the black of the tint to leave one single facade, as opposed as the scalfodding look you got now.
It's all in my own opinion and style, no right or wrong way.

I thought about going a little bit darker but @ 20 percent I won't get bothered by the cops. Anything less and I'd be on the side of the highway peeling it off if I got stopped.
Godfather - I could go either way with the pillars but they were already white when I bought it so....I'm glad all of the black around the windows were painted white.

Looks awesome on a white car. Is the back really 20%? I have 20s on my car and its impossible to see through, might be the sunlight, but its really dim to the point where you have to go up to the car to see into it. Glad cops don't bother you, CHP always on my tail for tinted rear lights and front signal and front 35%.

That's exactly what I first thought and was going to post about but you beat me to it. In my opinion the car would look a lot cleaner if he did leave the pillars between the front and rear windows and triangle window black. The white looks too busy and adds too many lines. Other than that I think the car looks great. White was my first choice but after seeing the techtite I had to jump on it. Nice car bro! Don't take anything I said to be offensive cause it wasn't meant to be.

Looks good. I'm bummed out as I've recently seen all these Threads about how avoiding the shark fin (gray area left un-tinted at the back of the rear door windows) is not a hard thing to do. Had I known I woulda never let the Tint shop get away with it on my car.
The overall look of your car looks sweet, the white really pops and it really looks great. I will say, I'm not big on the rims or don't like the white painted B-Pillar and rear window spacer, but even given those, the overall look is nice. I think if you got the OEM-black look back on those area's, the car will be absolutely gorgeous, but that's just IMO.

No offense taken fellas, I appreciate the input! I agree the pillars would probably look better if they were black. I'll see what I can do. I like the white rims (didn't at first) and everyone that has seen them said they look good. They are a pain in the *** to keep clean though!

Good eyes everyone, I went out this morning and yest they didn't do that little small area in the corner. Also, they didn't a ****ty job of cutting around that curve. I just called the dealership and told them I would be bringing it in so they could redo it.

Ive said it before but Im loving this white on white. Im thinking a flat hood badge and blacked out grill will set it off nicely. maybe front lip and rear diffuser in CF black as well.
