Doooo itttt. Only car I ever saw that looked worse with tint was a Geo Metro. I can't blame them though I wouldn't wanna be seen in it either. Just don't go with cheap tint, it'll cost more to get removed when it turns purple.

Mr. Recon, now that we have established that you want tint, it is your job to research the kind of tint and what is available in your town.
Since i'm bored at work. I'll give a little run down.
there are essentially 4 types of tint.
1)dyed
2)metallic
3)ceramic
4)carbon
Dyed is the cheapest option, as its just film that has been dyed a dark color.
it will usually fade over time. you've seen those faded purple color tinted windows!?!?!?
metallic/ceramic/carbon all get grouped into the same category.
these will be your higher end materials. and will be priced accordingly.
Because of the area I live in, the TExas HEAT isnt a joke.
I chose to go with a ceramic tint, called Huper Optik. it is pricey. but also offers the best in heat rejection and UV reflection

35% on the windshield? Wow....
Definitely get it tinted OP. I have never seen a car that didn't look good with tint(unless it was purple/bubbling). Tint always improves the look of the car and you don't feel like you are driving around in a fishbowl.

5% in the back and 54% in the two front windows (b/c it's the only thing I can get away with in California) of Ceramic tint & I love it! I just need to get the windshield done.
