It does make everything a whole lot darker, and with 20% tints you can imagine that it looks black as hell at night. Best part is that you don't have to go darker on the tints, so you can still see out...

And I'm liking the **** just fine... I don't think I'm gonna cut it down though, it fits just right where it is.

What I really like though is the paddles. Can't get used to driving a car without them now...

Many AMG and M's come with black headliner. And getting you headliner done does not increase or decrease the vlaue of your car, when it comes to trading or selling the car no one will really be able to tell. And it does not like "ricey". If you think it's "ricey" then i guess all AMG's and M's are "ricey"! And whoever said that black shows dirt is a dumbass. How can you say a darker material is going to show more dirt? No logic in that what so ever!

It would be really cool to get all the handles and plastic painted black also. The gray/black for the headliner looks a lil

I said that, and I'm not a dumbass, black shows dirt, differently from light colors, but still shows dirt, some dirt that appears black on light colors shows as "dusty" on black, plus black shows the dust 20X more than light colors! And by ricey, I meant making it a mod, not if it came from the factory! You don't have to call anyone names here, grow up!

So, under your quick explenation of what rice is, those ugly altezza tail lights that come on the car from the factory look nice? And if you make them red it's rice? Interesting...

Never said that at all, things like headliners can really look bad and sloppy if not done right. BTW, people, be really careful messing with your headliner, remember the side curtain airbags are up there!

Very true. But I don't think most people here have a problem finding the right resources to do it right... although some might try to cheap out on it a bit...

Yeah the "cheap out" is what really looks bad.

Tint came with the car, from the dealer, tint isn't for looks here, it's a necessity!

that's awesome that it came with the car. black cars look the best with window tint. i'm still deciding on window tint too...it makes the car look so different (in a good way) but i have bad eyes so i'm not sure if it's a right decision for the rest of the people on the road lol

Bottom line here, tint can be removed while replacing interior panels will cost you quite a bit of money.
