I've been wanting to tint my car for awhile now, but a few reasons not to do it:

1. Illegal, may be pulled over more with my Z...
2.I like how my seats look from the outside....

darkest tint would be 35%

what would you do?

tint it up ...... 35% u will still b able to see your lovley seats from outside.

GOOSE

Definitely TINT it! I'm sure a lot of people have been in the same situation, as far as not being too sure about tints, but I for one haven't regretted it.

And don't settle for 35. If you're going to do it, do it right and get 20%

i feel as if I have to tint now, not because im ugly but just becuase it makes me feel cool.

Actually i get it so my leather isnt burning my ass hairs off out in the summer sun.

I got mine at 20% with no problems...

"f*** da poh-leece!"

15% all the way around...one piece back window and all the way to the edge on the door windows....and get the windshield 70% Llumar....you cannot tell its tinted and it blocks out most of the heat more than stock. Ill post pics later if I can

In Indiana, it's legal to have 30% ATWO, where was in IL, you can do the front windows.

Hmmm... I dunno. I see so many people driving around in IL with tint. I have heard stories about people getting harrassed. If it was on the light side, say 35%, you probably could get away with it. Just try not to draw attention to yourself.

So far, I'm not tinting my car. I do like the look of darker windows, but I don't like the look in a few years. My last car looked great for about 5 - 7 years, but then as the material aged it peeled, bubbled, and faded to an icky purple. I don't recall exactly, but I think it was a 3M film that was used.

...and frankly, I don't mind the untinted look. The car looks nice and clean without it too.

Tint does keep the car a bit cooler though.

If I'd do it again, I'd go for this Huper Optik that Scrib's been researching.

Ya got to tint it. I've got 20% on the back and 35% on the sides and thats more then enough especially at night. With 35% on the sides you'll still be able to see your seats from the outside. Since you have the orange color interior it will be even easier to see.

Go for it. I want to get mine done but I feel the funds will be better served in my TeinSS fund

Here's a G that has 35% Huper Optik on it.

Is that Diamond Graphite?

Scrib

Yep...

Hmmmm........ still debating........ I know that G is 35%, but it still looks too dark for me....I may need to see some more pics scrib.

see in some pics, some look tinted, others look not tinted< I actually like in certain lights, it looks barely visable........ Find out if we can get a discount if we both get tints..I may consider it!

The second pic definitely doesn't have tint. I can tell you that. They also have 40% and even higher, if you'd like to go lighter. I'll email and see if I can get a discount. Probably won't hear back until early next week I'd guess with the weekend just around the corner.

I'll keep you posted.
