Tint or no tint
So I'm debating whether to tint her or not. I have the MW exterior on black interior and the car looks stunning the way it is but I wonder if it would look nicer with a tint. Any thoughts?

Totally subjective, so check out some of the cars that have their's done. I personally prefer it without tint. So, my suggestion is none or very lightly done on a white car.
Get what you like, tho.

A light tint would look good, plus it will keep the car cool. Dark interior gets really hot come summer time. Go with a ceramic tint like Huper Optic. Costs more, but works well.

Personal taste thing, but have tint on my MW over BLK and like the look of it. Rears and back are dark with fronts done a couple shades lighter.

Tint. I did 30% fronts and 15% rears. Not too dark, looks clean, and gives me some privacy.

I didn't tint the Sparkling Graphite E92 I had because it's a funny color to do right. My black M3 takes the tint perfectly. White does as well.

I'm also on the fence.
Why tint: Recently I've been having a lot of people pull up along side and try to race. Would be nice to just be incognito inside. Why not tint: I've got a pretty unique combo in Sparkling Graphite on Bamboo Beige. The colors just pop when you see the car. Tinting the windows would definitely take a way from that.

It has a slight slight blue hue to it, even less than the Merc's OEM windshields.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Ill probably not tint at least for now. The car looks stunning the way it is. Ill see around summer, if it gets too hot, ill do it.

As promised, 335 tinted.
Note that tinting your windows will not prevent it from getting hot... of course geographically dependent. It gets hot here, just sayin. |
