RE: To tint or not tint the windows? .... that is the question!

Well thanks everyone. It's off to the tint place next week.

I'm going for an AT 20 tint, which is between a legal [in Australia] 30% reflective and an illegal [in Australia] AT 10, better known as LIMO TINT.

Matt the sealer was your pic's of your SEL!

How low is your car and what's the tyre/wheel como?

It looks real sweet n low !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the lights add class.

Darren

Thanks for the comments Darren.

The wheels are 17x7 and 17x8 with H&R springs, #1 shim front and #3 in the rear.

The tint is 35%.

Matt-
Thanks for the recipe for the perfect stance! I had 16" Monoblocs on my old 500SEL euro, but didn't lower it before I sold it. The taller Monoblocs, the stagger and the rake are awesome. Bravo!

I agree

Thanks for the specs Matt.

Your 560 SEL sits 'PERFECT'!

If you could post a 3/4 shot from the front it would be appreciated.

The suspension set-up has been frustrating me, but your advice has helped.

Once again, the wheels, height, lights & tint suit your 560 perfectly.

Well Done!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I didn't post my front view because the pic I took shows the small dent in the front bumper, please ignore it :-)

My car isn't on Car Domain, there are a couple that look similar though.
