Default after market tinted windows on 250/350?

On my last 5 cars or so, I have added aftermarket tinting. Just wondering if anyone here has had their windows tinted or are planning to? Would love to see pics if available.

We can't see that unless we're members, and I don't honestly feel like signing up for something I'm honestly not going to use.

Sorry, didn't realize that.

I guess you're really not that interested in seeing it if 2 minutes of your time isn't worth it.

They're not my pics. If they were i'd post them here.

Looks great! How much was it to do all of the windows? How long did it take? Any surprises? Did they give you any hassle over the brake light.

Love the look with black.

it took one hour - had it done on my lunch break - $180.00 no surprises - they did a real nice job - said the only thing that was difficult was going around the front tweeters - not surprising considering their right up against the window...

Regular. I didn't want to go for metallic. I just wanted something to blend in with the car nicely, I didn't even want to go too dark because of that.

It's proabably good that you went with regular. I have heard the metallic interferes with the Nav. I am also going to go regular. Do you have a rear shot? How much did it run you? Thanks.

209... It was a little more than I expected, but oh well, I got quoted and they said they could do it right then cuz they had an open slot at that moment, or else I'd have to wait until next week.
