I always peel it off my ED's
They look best clear or with a lighter shade all around.

I use tint for the fact that it saves your interior.

I am against tint on any car but a light tint I guess it's OK.

So many people are tinting the front windsheild nowadays and like limo the rest. Don't know how they see cause it's so freeking dark inside even in the daytime. Just looks so Ghetto to me.

I have tints on my CRX already and don't like it very much but too lazy to take it off. It's diffcult to see at night with the tints.

My vote would be a Nay.

Not a hatch but a CRX I have 35% on the front 2 windows and 20% on the back three.
I plan on doing the same setup on my hatch also. No comments on the old wheels please, I know they are too big, pic was from 3 years ago.

yeah in ohio 50% is all thats legal, but the only ones they can test is the door glass so screw it. i don't care i'm breaking the law, oh well. i'll probally only do 50% on my front 2 on my hatch since it is a daily driver.

dont tint. it looks cleaner without any tint at all. unless you do the jdm bronze tint windows. here is pics of my car without tint. its just another reason for cops to pull you over. and i hate cops.

my 91 si hatch was about 35 all the way around - looked great and was still easy to see at night

im not a big fan of mix-matched tints for front and back though... im prob gonna have my white 89 si hatch that i have now tinted 35 all the way around when i get some spare $$

Anybody who says don't tint either 1) obviously does not live in an area where the sun absolutely destroys anything it can get to or 2) keeps the car in a garage 24/7.

It DOES look cleaner without tint, but having it tinted is not to say it's going to look stupid.

And BTW guys, it's not 'tints'. That's as bad as saying 'neons'.

Jeez man, get some black trim paint and paint all your trim and bumpers. Will make your car look MINT since you've already got great paint. It's like $4 at PepBoys/Autozone.
