couldnt get the pic larger so am not sure what you mean...
the window tint?
if thats what you mean it is a good looking color (i have seen it in person) and it would be interesting to see what it looks like on your white car.

the tint like that is built into the glass from the factory. But ya any tint shop can throw some blue film on your car. It probably will look just as good!

hmm you should be able to go to your local ricer shop pep boys etc. and they should have a variety of colored tint film. Keep in mind it will not look as well as the mercedes do because thats factory tint it's seems like a mist almost. I remember the old school lexus rx300's used to have a greenish tint to them which looked great but thats how they come from the factory.

Mercedes glass is made blue. While its liquid, blue is added to the glass to make it look like that. Honda does the same exact thing, except one minor detail.....Honda uses green.

You will not be able to replicate the Benz look, so dont attempt it. Just get regular tints.

I am familiar with what you're talking about. It is built into the glass. Colored tint is not going to give you the same affect. It would be nice. The windows on those cars look great!

Are you sure it's not the florescent lights... Park your car in a showroom and the lighting will do the same thing.

its not the lighting, all the new benz that i've seen have blue windows. i had to buy a windshield for my car and it gives the part number, brand, and color.. and ours are tinted green.

im sure you can duplicate it. ..but ive never seen such a light blue tint anywhere. it would turn out horrible if you went too dark.

check with 3m. i know they make lots of films, and they even have very light ones (50% and 75%). .maybe they have soemthing in a blue tint.
