i love my tint, i have 35% all around including my sunroof..besides the windshield which i have a 20% strip on the top, i wish i had a 5% strip on the top though, i may at it this summer..

the summers here are rediculous and my a/c doesn't work that well so i rely on my tint and a/c to keep my car cool

For who ever mention the bronze tint, you are right is very sexy. The only downfall about after market bronze tint or film how ever you want to call it, it tends to fade a lot sooner then regular charcoal or smoke film...any one that does this for a living can tell you

well any decent tint shouldnt fade...well to a certain extent. most tints that fade are metallic tints. metallic tints you can see they turn sort of a purplish color after a while from the sun.

you are right, but all film will loose darkness within time, anywhere from 1% to 1.5% a year depending on quality and way of making it and the dye used, and bronze, dont matter what company does not holds its color as long as other films...not trying to start a debate or knocking lol

I don't think I'm ugly. I don't like being stared at when I'm driving. I get it enough with the tint, but at least they're not as likely to be able to see anything.

It makes it easier to ignore idiots trying to race too.

And I know some really hot girls with nice cars who have dark tint.

tint is straight as long as it isnt black as night. 20% should be about the limit. I rock 35% on my eg8 and love it. Any tint 0-35 has the same UV blockn capability so anything lower than 35% is just for looks not function. Tint has a purpose so technically it cant be called rice. Putting volk racing wheels on your car that you dont race would be closer to rice than tint.

PS "tints" sounds retarded

I for one love tint provided its a clean job and isn't all purple and ****.

Cops are SUPER strict with tint around here, I've been given two warnings and I've only had mine for less than 3 months of actually drive time. Luckily with my car (del sol) my windows are ALWAYS down provided the weather is nice enough.

I had 35% and didn't think it was dark enough, so I got 5%. Call it gay or not, I love it.

35%



5%
