Honestly I don't thing that it is tint. I think that the glass is made with the tint in the actual glass itself. Does that make sense?? I do know that the color of the glass is supposed to be alot easier on your eyes while driving.

I agree with you. I remember reading somewhere that the tint effect you see is not actual tint itself, but it is a special type of glass so it looks tinted.

that tint is not the type of tint he's looking for. the tint your talking about is really blue and look straight ricer stupid. the benz tint is just a slight hint of blue as if it was the stupid ricer blue but as light as like say 90%.

and yes, the benz windows aren't overlay tint. it's the glass that is colored. i've looked for tint to match the benz with no luck. so far the only way to get that affect is to have custom windows made with that light hint of blue mixed in the glass melt.

It's not tint. It's heat rejecting solar treated glass. If you ever look at the older Lexus RX300s, they look like straight green/silver tint.

I was also wondering about that. So it's not actually tint? That's hardcore.

all cars come usually with a factory tint to the windows, most people dont believe its dark enough for them so they would usually get that extra dark tint put on to their vehicles.and yes thats actually in the window. its like i guess the benz color of glass i believe.
