I can't decide. I always used to have a dark tint on my previous cars. I love how it looked and how it felt during hot summer, but I hated how I couldn't see anything at night. But let's talk about the way it would make the car look.

Would you tint my car or not? I can't decide.
Thanks

i've heard of people having problems with electronics after tinting. mostly due to water intrusion from the rear window installation. have to be very careful. hearing those problems is the reason i haven't tinted myself.

I've never noticed an electronics issue with tinting; however, I also don't have the front windshield done... too much going on up there to mess with.

I'm a fan of tint, nothing like full blackout that screws up your night vision, but enough to knock the sunlight/heat down & provide some additional privacy.

I agree with Andy. Never had a car I didn't tint. Never had an issue with a car fron tint. Not a fan of really dark tint though.

Front windshield is out of question. I am thinking about side windows, the rear one is already tinted. I am just trying to figure, what way looks classier, with tint, or without. Don't really want to look all that "gangster", if you know what I mean.

I might just go for some decent tint, as my previous car had very dark windows and it was very difficult to park at night, or even drive on darker streets.

Eventually decided not to tint, as a found out about the new law in my country, which is about to come and it won't allow any kind of tint at all. Also, I plan to go to Germany relatively often adn there it is a problem, too. So, I will have to keep it with no tint.

couple of Benzos
with that Interior that you have i'm glad you didn't Tint the car, because the only way to tint a car is to do the whole thing (including windshield) otherwise it looks like A$$

It is quite difficult to drive at night with tinted windshield especially when roads have potholes

When I got mine tinted I asked the person I took it to & he said with this type of expensive car you can almost get away with anything lol . . I have 35% all the way around except the windshield and have been pulled over & never asked about tint my car is black on black too but I live in CA so everyone has tint almost. You should defiantly tint it to block harmful rays.
