I have normal dark tint, but I do have a benz with the light blue tint, It'll only look good on a silver or white Z, if that.

My friend who purchased a 2004 C class benz without the light blue tint wanted to tint her windows, but was told that the glass is built that way. So, in other words...you can't get that tint.

You CAN get that tint, it is just a very light blue film. I actually put it on my side mirrors like the Audi's have. If you want I can post pics later..

you can imitate the look of it, but isn't the mercedes more of a purple than a light blue?

I've been wanting to do that b/c the Z's mirrors catch so much glare from headlights on other cars. Where did you get the blue film? I have looked around but I don't want a whole roll of it since it's just for the two outside mirrors.

I like to see that as well...as we have already tried contacting several tint installers and no one can duplicate the benz light blue tint.

Not all benzes come with the blue tint though. If it was in the glass it would have been on every benz.

I know the C-class has it for sure but the SL's and S's don't have it.

Wouldn't they use the same glass company though? Well automotive glass itself has a layer of plastic I think in between two pieces of glass. If benz changed the color of the plastic, we cannot get the same hue/color if we tint it.
