   i was thinking of getting tints but i havent decided yet, but i think the car looks cleaner without them,,but if you do id go for a lighter tint rather than the darker ones Like saxo-lee said its subtle

    Very light tints on all the windows is OK, anything else is gash.

    i like tints, but they have to suit the theme of the car.
    
    what theme and colour car do you have?

    it comes down to taste and preference everybody likes different things. depends on colour of car plus you cant tint the front windows at all now i think according to police

    No, the rear 3 can be done as much as you want, can even spray paint them black if you want, but the front veiw cant be tinted. has to let more than 70% of the light thru.
    
    All cars have standard tint which blocks about 12% so your paying how ever much for a 18% tint which is just gay and pointless.

    Put some pics up of your car and I will photoshop on some tints for you so you can decide if you want lol. Or vice versa if you already have tints.

    I would say No to tinting windows.
    
    Other tints like rear lights (dark tint) are fine though.
