Default tint or no tint

okay i have a 92 hatch that is almost completley gutted and has a simple 4 point cage. pretty much just my weekend drag car. i tried to make the bars not too noticable by painting them flat black but you can still see them. my question is shoudl i tint the windows or not? i kinda want to but i'm not too sure. it's not my daily driver but when i do drive it i don't want to be hassled because of them or draw too much attention to the car because of them. here are some pics of the interior and the outside (i know about the dents , no need to point those out lol).

yeah i wanted at least 15% just so it's not totally dark. seen a guy that sells a precut kit for all kinds of cars on ebay in any darkness you need. think the kit was only like $45. not bad at all, since i have done a car before myself.

I had 20% on my civic coupe, and its very hard to see things at night outside the car. I currently have 35% all the way around on my teggy, and I like it much better. But 15% is gangster fs

Definitely tint it.

I say ~35% would be enough.
