IMHO, a car without tint just doesn't look like it's quite done. There seems to be something missing. Not to mention, I don't like everyone on God's green Earth being able to glare into my car and see what I'm doin' and what's in my ride, particularly when a big *** truck in on your butt and the lights are BLARING in your face.

he brings up a very valid point. i think it makes the car look cleaner but thats my opinion.

I like tint as long as it is good quality and done well. So far, my Prelude is the first car I haven't had tinted windows on. I like it for the simple fact that it is harder for people to see in to see what you have.

reasons why i have tint:

1. dont like people to see me
2. dont like people to see what i have in my car
3. dont like the sun to get into my car and make my rear seats even more faded
4. like how it looks

On older cars it just looks ghetto, but on newer cars I think it looks nice.
