just wanted to see everyone's opinions on whether they like the illegal (can't see anything) window tint

or... if you guys and gals prefer clear / clean windows so you can see everything in and out.

let me know i'm interested.

a 3rd choice could be the mirror-tint, that ****'s pretty dope.

 

I used to like the 'superblack tanked out' look of the early 90's, but now I prefer just a medium tint all around. Plus, I had a car with limo on the rears and 20% on the fronts and got tired of getting harassed by the Highway Patrol.

mirror tint in my neck of the woods is considered....well...ahem...ethnic, let's say. I kinda like it on certain colors of cars.

btw- if you don't know what 'tanked out' means, it's where you put a windshield strip of tint on the top AND the bottom of the windshield. looks like you're watching the widescreen world on a traditional screen, black bars top and bottom.

 

I have fairly light tint on mine and I like it a lot compared to super dark or no tint at all. I do get pulled over 1-2 times a year for it, but I've never gotten a ticket. Don't know what percentage mine is since it came with the car... Maybe 40%, I guess.

I wouldn't ever get superdark tint because I know too many people with it who have backed into **** at night.

 

i recently got my windows tinted 25% in the rear and 35% in the front
looks pretty nmice i'll try and get pictures later

 

Tint can look nice depending on the color of the car and if its done well or not, but personally I prefer no tint because A. I don't enjoy being pulled over. and B. I do a lot of driving at night and like to be able to see to the sides and rear easily.

 

Depends on the tint color.

I have 35% green metallic kind and you can barely see into the car during the day.

My friend has a dark black 35% and it's pretty easy to see thru during the day

 

i like mine to be nice and dark keeps the heat out in summer and it just looks better but thats just my opinion tho

 

Well.. I did have purple tint on my hatch when I first got it.
Lets just say it takes forever, so I feel the pain for people who work at window tint shops.

I'm rockin oem no tint.. Idk I might get tint later on, but I like the clean look.

 

i have limo tint all around, kinda sucks cause i can only see peoples head lights so i never know if theres a cop behind me

 

fish bowl!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fish bowl

 

Depends on neighborhood lol. I park in a garage, therefore I would never put tint on my car. I dont like it. But if i lived like in seattle, tint and alarm would be priority.

Fish Bowl >oox> <~~horrible attempt of a fish.

 

tint helps a lot during summer when u don't have a/c... i got 5% on the rears and 20% on front...

i just end up rolling down the front windows and turning on the heater full blast if i see a cop nearby...

 

clear/clean CALI fish bowl look...but if i was to tint i would do an even light tint all the way around just to keep the clean look ...maybe a light brown or light metalic green like one of the people posted above

 

Fish bowl looks cleaner than tinted windows IMO

 

I guess it all depends on the car, but I am rocking the fish bowl on my EM1, and I think 30% all around on the Fit.

 

whip so clean don't need no tint

 

my last hatch was white and was 14% on the front windows and god knows how dark on the back and sides....cops meter told and he wrote me one

my current hatch is firepepper red metallic off a 02ish accord and i like the plain clear windows in it.

 

FISH BOWL ALL THE WAY......

 

yes sirrrrrrrrrrrrr......

 

fishbowl would be a cleaner look.. Although I wouldnt mind getting the light bronze tint. Ive only seen a few cars with it (not the jdm bronze glass) and they look really nice.

 

I've had 5% on my previous civics I've own. I liked because it kept the interior cooler during the hot summer days and it looked pretty sick from the outside. I just took precautions when driving at night because of the lack of visible through the tint. The fishbowl look is clean too, but I feel its more appropriate for show cars and really clean/style street cars.

 

I look good,and so does my car..therefore I want peps to see inside my fish bowl!!!

 

33% all around. I like fishbowl but my seats were faded so I got the tint to help prevent future fading

 

hell ya guys, thanks for all the posts, i bought my hb with a little tint all the way around but after seeing the picture of dude's green hatch in cali w/ fish bowl and palm trees, i'm definitely getting my tint taken off. that is clean.
thanks again.
