Pics of my tint installation

35% all around, 20% rear window. Work was done at Top of the Line in Lodi, NJ. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in NY/NJ area. Talk to Phil, very nice guy.

















I purposely left the TBL cover on so he could cut around it on the rear window. I have plans on spray painting the inside of the cover black so it won't be as noticeable. I want to keep the intensity of the light output from the TBL.

Nice, that's exactly how I want to do my tint. How much did it run you?

Looks great. Good choice on % too. Wish I had done my Rear 20% instead of 35%.

I assume he put felt/moleskin in the doors? Even so you've gotta keep the weather seals clean to avoid scratching.

He put the plastic around the back so he doesn't scratch my car when leaning over to do the back window.

$295 + tax

I opted out of the moleskin since I've had no problems with this particular film on my previous 04 TL. It's 3M Scotchtint, scratch resistant and non-metallic. Also, I'm a little skeptical about messing with the door panels on a brand new car. Besides, I usually never put my windows down. I have the auto climate control turned on 365 days.

Thanks guys, the car looks so clean because I just got it on Wednesday hah.

He was doing a black E Class with 40% and it looked very classy. If you're worried about it being too dark then go with 40%. It looked really nice.

My gf took the car out. I'll try to take some pics before it gets dark out. Hopefully she'll be back by then.
