Hi guys,

did you order tinted windows?
Is it in your opinion a Must have or just nice to have?

Thx

If this is all you want to know, just make a poll ?

Definitely not a must, but nice to have. It can augment the look of your car (if done correctly), improve your comfort during hot, sunny days, and decrease the UV damage to your interior.

Ever been to AZ? Must to have.

Wait... Can you order that from factory?

think the euro cars come with that option, but its the rear windows. BTW...guess i'll meet you tomorrow at MSRH.

i'll be getting mine done at the dealership prior to delivery. Almost a must in Houston.

Yes, in Europe you can order tinted rear windows optional.

@hwelvaar

Too late, can't change it anymore to poll.

Definitely not a "must have" for me, but I'd take it with AW (but most probably not with BSM and VO).

window film tinting is popular nowadays, can be easily done with a variety of tints/colors, and is available with high solar rejection properties. why get stuck with only black rears while you can have a choice

Not in germany, there are strict regulations regarding tinted windows.

you misunderstood. I mean you can apply tinting film on the same rear glass as it comes from the dealer, and you still have a choice to remove it back to clear glass again.

Hi, yes you're right. We can apply tinted foil to the rear windows. But the intensity in germany is regulated. You for example cannot apply a very dark black foil. That's what i meant.
