    Tint or no tint?

    Need an honest opinion Should I remove my tint to show my interior off more or leave it on? It's a show/weekend car

            That interior probably looks best with the tint. Keep it.

              No tint looks clean and not too done up

                I hate dash pads. So I vote hide it with the tint.

                That said, if you replace the dash with a crack free one, then get rid of the tint (or go to a very light UV blocking tint like I have planned). Show off that houndstooth!

                      Tint looks poo on old cars. Fishbowl forever.

                      Unless it's that OEM brown/green tint that's light.

                          Depends on if you keep the car in a garage or not. If it is outside in the sun, keep the tint. It will help the interior from fading. If it is a garage queen, you could lose the tint with little to no chance of sun fade issues. Personally, I have 2.5% and 5% tint all around!! Love the dark, protects my houndstooth and keeps people from seeing what is in it when I am away from it!!

                            I like the tint, but i think it would look better if you matched the tints and ditched the wind/rain deflector thing.

                              This.


                              If your interior was nicer I'd say get rid of it. Not a fan of tint.
