Okay, yes it's a mercedes Benzo lol I really do like the color but that's not what im trying to figuere out. Is the color of the windows custom or is it a tint? I wonder how it would look like in Monaco blue.

Anyone know what it is?

Well that is the default 'tint' that MB always gives on there newer cars for now on...
It gives a light blue-gray shine to the interior. Not really my taste but that's the way the put it on..

I personally love the blue color tint found on the mercedes sport cars. I wonder if this is something that a mercedes vpc or their dealership installs.

My all time favorite factory tint would have to be on the GT. It looks purplish and is very reflective in person

Yeah, had that tint on my CLK cab, a white car. Always drew attention and looked great. Wish we could get the old style bronze tint that BMW used to ofer in Europe. Had that on an old E21 of mine and it looked great.

So no one knows if any tint shop can do this or is it only a dealer made product, i wonder if mercedes would do it for me in my BMW i just would hate to have to drive to the enemies terretory to get something like this done

Why don't you call around? I can't tell you if your local shops can do it or not. The time you've spent sitting here waiting for a reply, you could have possibly been on your way to the tint shop getting it done. Just a thought
