Default Anti-Tint?

Why so many "lose the tint", "no tint" opinions? Does it look that bad/played?
My hatch is hot as hell, and the SUV headlights through my rear glass are annoying. It helps in those areas. I don't know if I can stop myself. Car is Captiva Blue,btw.

I didnt want/like tint on my civic si back in the day. After i got my wrx i got 30% tint and love it. As long as its not too dark i think it looks good. Keeps a decent amount of sunlight out and it loooks good...plus i got an awesome deal

I see you live in Texas too, heh, so tint would definitely be good for you. It really helps keep the interior much cooler after the car has been sitting out for a while. And like someone else said, it helps shade the light coming from the headlights of taller trucks/cars behind you. So tint gets a from me. Many people on h-t say function over fashion, and I think tint is plenty functional

Tint is nice. Most dont do it because it blocks the view for people to check out your JDM bling you have inside.

I personally think tint doesn't make the car look as clean.

however, since it serves a purpose I would put it on a DD type deal(I don't drive my hatch everyday) the biggest reason I wouldn't tint the car though, is because I can't tint them.. just everything but the front three
