right now i have 20% blue mirror tint. Im getting it replaced with 5% black tint in a week cuz the blue is a lil too crazy for me. Tint always makes a car look better.

tint is good for a couple reasons. Looks better, keeps your car cooler in the summer, and save your upolstry from fading. Just make sure when the shop sells you the tint your really getting that brand. I've been hosed by some supposedly "reputable" tint shop! IMO no tint shop is good, eventually they all shut down and your gareentee goes out the door!

I have 35% all around on my yellow OZ it looks awesome! It's just the right amount of tint. I still have great visibility in the rain and at night.

I won't tint the front windows at all for racing reasons, but still deciding if the rear windows would look good with some tint despite the clear front ones.

U got ticketed already?!

I better watch out. I have THE MOST ILLEGAL tint setup of the entire Evolutionm.net website. I have Triple limo (3 layers of limo) on the rear window. I have Double limo on the rear passenger windows. I have single limo on the front passenger and driver windows. I am still clear up on my winshield. I have yet to get pulled over and ticketed for this tint. I got pulled over for my obnoxiously loud system, but the cop didnt say **** about my tint. Some cops are jerks, u get a speeding ticket and theyll slap every minor infraction they can on u... very dumb cops...

In broad daylight when ur sitting in the back of my car (The rear seats), it's almost like night expect for the fact that the light comes from my front winshield. It is a lil bit hard to see out @ night, u can only see headlights and VERY LIMITED objects like street lamps and the road.

A good reason to tint your car is that if u wanna have a buncha neons in the car to light up the interior, cops cant see into ur car and see all the neon bulbs, so he wont pull u over. Also so u can see ur neons during the day too cuz it'll be dark in the car

Most show cars aren't tinted cuz they WANT people to see into the car, they tend to have a VERY Showy interior.

That is exactly the case with Kontra's car. Unless you plan on having an interior like his, tint away!
