I had mine tinted and it looks great. Be sure if you have a light interior to go with say 25% tint instead of 30-35%. If you have a black interior i'd go with a 30% job. Looks clean and wont attract the attention of a cop if you get pulled over. Be sure you get a professional job that comes with a lifetime warrantee though, don't try to do it yourself. A good tint job should cost around $250-$300.

Default my only regret with tinting was that i waited so long to do it...i will tint every car i own.

Just get quality tint, LLumar carries lifetime guarantee against cracking, fading, or peeling.

Also, id recommend 35% all around, don't get darker.

Cheers,
Sameer

Default karupspc started it!

He pointed out his year and model and asked if he should tint. I gave him an answer, based on the information provided! :-P And you...you definitely should NOT tint!
