Finally got my windows tinted today. I've only had the car a little over a week, but after having tinted windows for years, it made it seem much longer than a week that I didn't have it.

I went with the same brand and % I had on my 550. The brand is Formula One, the series is Pinnacle Ceramic, and it is 15% all around except the windshield.

Here are some pics......

Black grilles will be next. These ugly chrome grilles have to go!

Looks great! Mine came with 35% all around but the 15% looks really great!! There may be a change in store... Thanks for sharing!

SICK!... wish I could get away with that dark, but nope!...not in Cali =(... I got 35% too, but I always get paranoid when I see a cop,

...although... my cousin is a cop and he says that they don't USUALLY mess with a luxury vehicle, of course, not if the driver seems suspicious or acting a fool.=P

Thought about doing 70% on the windshield just to cut the heat......I wan't sure if it would allow the HUD to display properly on the windshield

We lived in the Sacramento area for 10 years, and I had 5% tint on two cars, and never had an issue. The kicker was both cars had Florida plates and were registered in Florida. I didn't have to deal with emissions crap either:thumbsup:
My wife had a company car that had CA plates, and I tinted her side windows.....she got a Fix-it ticket within 2 weeks...lol

AgeeM6: I have had mine tinted at 5% for years without getting stopped once. It's not much of a problem in the Bay Area. And since it's only a "Fix It" ticket, your cousin can sign it off for you.

No need to worry about the HUD displaying properly. I have 35% windshield and I have 0 issues with the HUD, if anything..I think it might be better during the day since the glass is a bit darker.

Car looks great btw...I would go 50% windshield, I always had 50% on my previous cars and I went 35% this time around, and its great but the 50% is dark enough to be honest.
