    Should I remove my tint?

    It came on the car when I got it and I hated it, but it has grown on me a little. If I take it out I'll stay with no tint at all so it's either all or nothing.... what do you think?

      Tint it all, or nothing.

          I just peeled all mine off. Much easier than I thought it would be. Hopefully soon I will have time to have some light tint installed, more for protection than looks.
          Im now E30less.

            keep it, maybe tint the front 2 a tiny bit. I mostly tinted mine to get that fishbowl look away, and to protect the interior. I hate when someone can see right into my car, see something they like and decide to brake in.

              Lose the tint. I think it looks weird on E30's when it's that dark.

                    I think they look way cleaner without tint.

                      The fronts are tinted, just can't tell in the pics. Fronts are 35% (legal limit) and all the rest are 5%.

                      I'm not changing the tint.. it's either all coming off or leaving it the same.... that's what I need to decide on.

                        in that case, take it off, you're saying its becoming a track rat, some track or organizations have regulations against dark tint.

                          Way too dark for my tastes. I say remove it. I want tint all around, but something dark, but feint. As Ryan said, more for functionality than looks. I want to protect my interior from the mass amounts of sun out here in Boise.

                            WAY too dark. It looks funny next to the front windows.
