I just recently took my tint off. I think the car looks much cleaner without it IMO. But interior wise, tint does give you a little privacy. Makes you feel nice and safe.

IMO I think the tinting makes it look cleaner, you dont see all the inside.. + at 5% its good for security know one knows what you have inside.. IMO

I forget the percentage... i think it's like 50% but thieves are more likely to break into your car if you have tints for the reason that they can't see what you have in there ... so they figure you must have something good if youre tryin to hide it

i like the no tint look, to me its a lot cleaner, but the privacy of having tints is very nice..

I also agree that a car looks cleaner without tints but for me it also depends on color.

I just went 5% all the way around last week... I love it. Every car I've ever owned has been 'limo'd' out... The car is so much cooler in the summer... and it's easy on the eyes too. Silver coupe with black windows... it'll match those gunmetal wheels and carbon fiber hood one of these days.

tint if you dont care for glare.

They especially help lowered cars. My teg no longer gets the SUV headlights blinding me from behind....

I'd tint, I've had it on every one of my cars, but personally wouldn't do limo like I had on my Caddy, it was impossible to see out of. I'm actually getting my girl's new SI done pretty soon, thinking something light like 30%. Good enough for the heat and easy on the eyes. Plus if your car stripped like mine no one will ever know

I want to tint ALL the way around with windshield and stuff. It's illegal but most of the cops in south cal will only give you a ticket if they already have you pulled over.
