Should I tint my windows?

buckybadger · 03-25-2009, 05:04 PM

Need some feedback/information regarding tints, I have couple of questions:
1. Does anyone know of any good tint shop in San Diego?
2. If tints are removed, do they leave any marks on windows and what's their expected life? Can they last for 4-5 years?

Thanks!

definitely, since you are black/black

blue2fire · 03-25-2009, 05:08 PM

No, because it is your car and i don't like tint.

EuRoTUneR · 03-25-2009, 05:16 PM

i think the tint gives cars a more aggresive...sportier look so i would deff tint your car. plus black on black always looks good !

Its hard to say if tinted windows will look good on a black car because nobody has ever done it before....

CubanJJ09 · 03-25-2009, 05:22 PM

no tints, just get rid of your windows

I voted no, tint is sportier but no tint gives a cleaner classier look. If anything a light tint to reduce heat would be all I did in your situation.

lmao... OF COURSE TINT IT! um.. i mean no, itll look bad!

Do you want to run the risk (no matter how small) of increased attention from po po, and possibly tickets? If you don't care, go tint. If you do, don't. It's fairly straightforward.

buckybadger · 03-25-2009, 05:29 PM

Hmmm don't really care about cops etc.. don't give a damn about them.. All I care about is that it should look good after tinting it.. and hopefully shouldn't have any issues.

I think AW looks the sexiest with the tints, If I had your car I'd tint it after day one.. I'm just concerned that a black car might look a little too black with the tints... you know what I mean

I've never heard of a tint looking worse than not (unless it was done incorrectly). If secksiness is your primary concern, just do it.

I vote no, since he needs other people to tell him what to do.

Come on.... you're putting words in my mouth.. I just need some feedback, that's all.. why are you making a big deal out of this?

thisguyhere · 03-25-2009, 05:45 PM

this is one of those decision that you should really rely on your own judgment bro. It's a preference thing. Good luck.
