tint or not to tint...and why?

[Bracknaphobia]

I used to be all about tint. I've crossed over to the "light" side. I think a car just looks classier or cleaner with no tint. Especially if the interior is worth looking at.

Pretty much my exact stance on this.

i say get this if youre willing to spend about 700 doll hairs on it.

alot of guys here spend 3000 doll hairs on wheels, so for comfort and taking care of the interior for years to come sounds reasonable.

$700 window tint =/= $3000 wheels

but i get what you mean....

dark tint always looks awesome on a black car imo. other colors depends on what alls done to car. but that clear tint sounds raw. specially if it does all that

really though....i got quoted for this film for ~400 my local shop.

In terms of looks...fishbowl on hatch/4dr. and tint on coupes generally looks legit.
Of course there's always exceptions. You know, if you live in CA, AZ, or FL where it's hot as balls.
