theres nothing sexier than a black car with tinted windows driving at night.

plus when u leave it outside while ur doing something in summer, it keeps the seats noticably cooler.

i have 25 on sides and 5 on back

My buddy got his rear and rear passenger windows tinted. I didn't realize the advantages of this until we were driving to the bars and the two of us in the backseat started, uh, doing something illegal, . No one could see in. It was very nice to not have to worry about being seen.

Plus the sun is wicked hot here in San Diego.

What really surprises me is the number of nice cars that I see with horrible tint. I don't get it.

I like my tint but it's not entirely smoked....you can still see the silver in my hair from a distance. Oh well.
You gotta have something in this Florida heat though, otherwise, the a/c is working overtime and that just creates more off the line bog.

Keep the nice sun from destroying my nice interior, cooking me and making my nice aircon less effective. Oh and the privacy is good on occassion also. When I'm feeling extroverted I throw caution to the wind and lower the top
