Fresh Tint on the E55

Here are a couple of pictures that I have been meaning to post since I had the tint done. This is as dark as I can go in GA.

Looks great!
Did they have to tear up the interior to tint the windows? Can you go darker in the rear? I think in CA you can go very dark but I think the fronts need to remain clear. That doesn't stop people from tinting them anyway.

I believe it was Solar Guard but it may have been LLumar film, I will check.

My tint guy had to take the back deck out to get the rear window in correctly. Took about 3 hours total.

It matches the color of the pano roof fairly well.

It was done in Atlanta. Same guy that does it for my dealership. I paid $250. He has done a couple of cars for me, does a great job and knows all the tricks for Mercedes.

That looks very nice, even if it is not too dark.
