It's a blue tint--pretty sure it's the same as the E500 sport package.

I really like the blue tint but I tink i will be gettin regular tint. prolly 15% all around. or maybe 20%...I have 20% on my audi with a beige interior and you "could see through it" a little. I was thinkin but eyah 20% with a black interior should pretty much hard to see through but i want it dark enough so that you can't see through the day or it is really really really hard to see someone during the day...suggestionS?
