Nah, no tint keep it clean and let people who are checking your car out druel over your beautiful interior. I used to love tint but that's just me.

Here's mine on a GFM, its very dark tint. Almost too dark up front. There's quite a glare at night and it can be hard to see.

well , i am in the same situation as you. im also about to get tint, but the thing is, dark tint will make your car look better, but so will the light tint. the trick is to have all the windows look the same. i think i will be going with a light tint because any conflict with cops sets off my very bad temper. i HATE cops. they are always out to get ya ! go save some lives ! and pulling us over for tint isnt going to save lives!

It looks really good but you will get pulled over if you do the front windows.

leave it stock..invest in a pair of Gucci stunna shades (Gucci sunglasses for the urban lingo impaired). Then you can start stunnin like your daddy, drive real slow- so everyone can see you. lol.


or you can stun like I do, drive with the spare tire on for two days straight, and wear flip flops and boxers everywhere you go. keepin it ghetto!!!

I wouldn't go darker than 35% on the sides. but that's me. 20 might be a bit too dark.

Default Match front window tints to back as closely as possible.

Also if you live in Arizona and have the black interior, you need that front tinting. I got the 35% on my fronts in an SGM, and it matches perfectly.

The cops in KS/MO don't hassle you about tinting.
