optical blue tints....anyone?

I was deciding on what percentage tints then I saw a Mercedes with the factory "sky blue" tints.

Has anyone had experience with those? Comments? Would look good on SGM?

I know there's a tint on our windows, it will probably be a different tint color if applied.

Tint is too light to be effective, not very pleasant inside the car. I'm using 35% dark grayish tint on my IS350 (all 5 windows same %), looks good with SGM.

i always thought they had blue glass, not tint...i had asked a tint shop and they said there windows are dipped from factory , and that all we could do is find a tint color similar but its not the same thing...

Factory tinted glass in blue, just like other OEM tinted glass. Correct, not a film added later.

yeah i've been researching on it. seems like there is a blue tint but i don't think it'll look great on SGM...

I had a dark car with 35% tints all around before...trying to see I could do something different.
