I like tint, but one of the drawbacks I've noticed on my C55 is that small scratches have developed on it from the lowering/raising of some of the windows (front and rear passenger side mostly). I assume it is fine dust or grit in the door trim that the window is rubbing on. It is quite noticeable from the inside on sunny days. It isn't noticeable at night or as much on dull days. It may be unique to the MBZ, but am curious of any P-car owners have seen this on their cars.

that problem is unique to MBZ, especially since 2001, when they went to a hard plastic guard which rubs against the inside of the window

BTW I have 50% ceramic tint on my black C2S. Supposed to cut as much UV's as 20% standard tint, but not nearly as dark. Sorry no pics

Tint it -- I used a rather light tint, and I think it looks great.

Ok im convinced guys. Chicago Steve, i like the how the lighter tint looks. Has that new look. I might go darker on the rear window. Definitely want to keep it legal on the sides - MA police are serious *******s.

Anybody know where I can get a top notch tint job in the Boston area?

I've been told that for tint, you can't beat Wheel Dynanix in Natick, MA. http://www.wheeldynamix.com/home.php David Ortiz uses them and they do lots of high end cars. I will be going there to get mine done.

Second is Tint King in Billerica. http://www.tint-king.com/index-5.html

I think it is 35%. I will verify that and let you know if it is different.
