Tint or Not to Tint?

[rayz]

I was thinking of tinting my car. nothing too dark as I dont want to be hassled everyother day by the police. any one have a pic of a bronzit w/tint?

I have 20% all over my car and had no problems with cops here in Puerto Rico, I am thinking to put it 5% all around :D

here's a picture... it ain't bronzitbeige, but it's luxorbeige

check my sig, i live in CA and haven't been bothered by the cops yet. If i did it again i would go one shade lighter in the back.

To tint or not to tint...there is no question

Sometime down the road I'll be tinting my car.

I definately don't want them pitch black, that would be terrible.

I want something that blocks out the sun and doesn't make it a paint to drive at night. Isn't the percentage the amount of light it blocks? Therefore, I'd want something like 70-60% tint, just enough to be dark, but still be able to see me - making it easier to see at nighttime. ;)

Tint is rated by how much light is alowed to come through.
5% is super dark, 70% is really light.

I personally think that window tint looks awful on e30's...........so no tint for me.

Yeah you're right, on some colors it looks ok though......the only two things I can't stand about not having tint is......
1) Headlights beaming in through the back window
2) Sun glare is a beotch

OOMPH!: You can add another one or two to your list.

Tint actually prevents the car from getting hot in the inside when you park it in the sun for about two hours.
It helps the seats from not getting direct sunlight

I want to get tint this spring.. my interior got baked last summer. :(

Don't dig on tint.

I'm probably gonna end up getting 40% all around, just to keep the sun out. black car, black interior.

You're right, that's definitely an issue, especially with leather seats. I hate it in the summer time when you hop in your car and burn the shit out of yourself.......
