Tins or no tins on the car??

Well I'm debating wether I want the mysterious look or just stock look

What do you guys think?
If I put tints I'm going with 5% stealth mode

If you like driving around in a fish bowl dont get tints. I like my privacy.

I had 5% al around and 20% on my truck
But on the car I'd go 5% all around, I'm kinda tired of being looked at, the ex-wife used to tell me she loved the mysterious look more than the fish bowl

Fish bowl is for clowns that want to be seen. More mysterious when you roll up and the doors pop open and some hot broad jumps out of the passenger side.

No, the blue disapears with any amount of tint.

I just did 13% on all glass except the windshield. Looks so much better and you can fool around with your woman and not worry about anyone seeing you at night, lol.

Be careful California peeps, theses days, cops LOVES tint tickets, sure they are a quick and cheap fix-it ticket, but it's a great way to get you to pop the hood open for that emission infraction that is going to cost big money to fix and land you in court no matter what.

Appended to me twice in less than a year.

Yep, they already hassled my girl in her C230 Kompressor for tinted fronts and we had to peel it off. When I see a cop, I quickly roll my front windows down. I'm originally from Arizona and this tint law is the dumbest thing ever.

Haters crazy
Had 30% all around. Hassle from cops was a pita. Took it all off, love the stock blue tint, car looks much "cleaner". May do a super super light tint so some blue is still there

I find it diffiucult to SEE out of the tinted windows, especially at night time..........I always have to LAUGH at the dudes with their windows OPEN so they don't ram into someone or something...lol...

I'd consider a tint, IF I could find a tint shop where the dudes will let me WATCH.....why are these cats SO untight about an observer??
I've never heard of the fishbowl effect....
but your dissmisal of us "clowns" is very amusing, LOL.......
I just want to be seen!!!!! uh huh! LOL

This. Hit the windshield lightly too. You'll still have the blue.

However, if you are able to get away with 5%, it's a no-brainer.

lmfao at emoving! I agree to an extent. (I can't quote you because I'm on my phone) I love the fish bowl look. the car without tint looks cleaner,newer, and more expensive. before I had my car I used to love seeing a e55/63 with the blue windows. got my car and I took the tint off. also I go out alot (usually have a couple drinks) and I cant afford to be pulled over because of tint.

It's for the safety of officers. Nice to know there isn't someone sitting behind that window with a sawed off shotgun waiting.
