Are your windows tinted?

[genebaby]

I'm amazed at how many cars I see that don't have tinted windows. It not only looks cool, it keeps your car cooler and helps keep your interior looking newer for longer and keeps the sun out of your eyes.

Every day I see people on a certain stretch of road who have moved their visor to their side window to keep the sun from bothering them. Some even just drive with their hand up like a visor. This is when I realise what my tinting is doing for me, as I don't notice the sun.

I find tinting an absolute must, how about you?

[dansedgli]

Its overrated, I had it on my other car but havent felt the need to get it on this one.

All my vehicle's have tinted glass and all of my future vehicle's will as well, like you say it not only look's good but help's block those UV ray's, put your hand near tinted glass and then put your hand up next to a peice of glass that is not tinted on a very warm day, you can feel the difference straight away, of course I am only talking good tint not the shit you buy from supercheap and do yourself, and it also protect's at night, if you happen to pull up againt's a group of young dick's at a set of light's, they can not see in and don't know themselves who or how many people are in the vehicle.

[paul7v7]

yep and i notice the difference...thinking of getting it re done...a lot darker.

The Futura had the crappy factory tint, however seeing as Oakleys are plastered to my head during daylight hours anyway, it was never much of an issue. The Fairmont has it and I love it. The Focus has it too but im yet to spend enough time in it to decide whether i want it darker or not.

[AdzT3-146]

i dont at the moment, may at a later date. just my theory not sure if others will agree, but tinted windows might attract more attention from the boys in blue. especially if your on p plates.
just my opinion

Yes absolutely!

[FordFan86]

I got it, had the rear re-done, but no where near dark enough (read: i'ts like it aint there and it's darkest legal :S) the rest are all fairly dark but going purply, i wanna get em done as dark as i can. dad won't let me do nohting due to cops and insurance etc

[MAGPIE]

Wouldn't be without tint, both my cars have it. Mainly for security & looks as opposed to any uv reducing benefit.

[darkfang888]

yeah, just factory tints but thats all I want.

[DivHunter]

Will be the first 'mod' on the R33 GTS-T

[deankdx]

all my cars that i drive regularly will be tinted( the ones i currently drive are all tinted)
guess the most important things for me are in dark driving, no need to flip mirror and in sunny driving my arm doesn't get get burnt. plus the car looks better. in most places and if you're parking at night(32 years young) its a bit more private.
i just bought a Valiant coupe which wont be tinted as it wont suit IMO thats if i decide to keep it longer than a month
i had a 20% (very dark and illegal) tint on a ZJ fairlane i owned, it was quite hard to see in the dark especially to the left from a t intersection. quality 35% tint is good

Will be the only one too. :


I got my XD tinted darkest legal, but I think it should have been darker.
I will get the XR6 tinted, but there are other things that have to come first.

[LUXO_8]

my nc has tint, but it needs to be redone sometime soon. i reckon it was done not long after the car was new, its all scratched and going crappy

[Amber]

5% all round!!!

[darkfang888]

hey MADNC_8, som eof us us 'young pricks' DO get it. V8's rule the roost, straight-6's kick ***, and only milk comes in 2 litres. I'll never own a Jappa (AND I DON'T WANNA GET INTO A CONVERSATION ON THIS, I'M JUST STATING MY OWN OPINION) even though some are OK, due to the fact that I don't like them, they sound like mosquitoes stuck in a jar. I'm old-school, and only a 6 or 8 will do.

That's a comment which is more suited to a private message. This thread is about window tinting.

[zetec]

Ohhhh... My........... That is one tough looking mother of a BA! I'd have a GT-P like that ANYday : One of the horniest I've ever seen....

Oh, and yeah, tinted windows are a must. It was one of my first mods, I only wish "legal" was a couple of shades darker. It makes for a great contrast black on white.

[LTDHO]

The LTD does, it's practical and looks sooooo good
My daily driver doesn't yet, but it will soo.

[loxxr6]

Sure is tinted but its due for a redo.

Its not that dark.
