Honest question here.

I know that the belief is that tinted windows make a car look cooler. I guess I can agree with that.

But when you are driving a car that looks as nice as the G, don't you want to be seen in it? Part of the fun of driving a luxury/sport car is being seen rolling in the car.

I doubt anyone honestly tints for reasons of heat reduction, so I'm just curious to hear people's thoughts on this.

While we're at it, why do people rebadge to skyline? And what losers out there are driving ATs?


Seriously though, I find that window tint makes the car look cleaner, helps reduce glare/blinding sunlight, definately keeps the car cooler in the summer, and gives you privacy when you want it.

Besides, if you want to be seen in your car, everyone knows you gotta roll with the windows down

because they're looking for a deeper sounding (but not loud) exhaust

If you want to be seen and want UV protection, heat reduction, then there are different shades of tint that one could choose to go with..........you're not stuck w/ the traditional limo look.......there's also light tint that offers 99% UV blockage along w/ some heat reduction properties.

Personally, I did it for several reasons:

1. It keeps my black leather interior cooler
2. Keeps out UV rays, which can damage the interior.
3. I wear contacts, and the excess sunlight can bother my eyes at times.
4. Looks a lot better
5. Adds a bit of privacy
6. In Southern California, you'd fry without tinted windows on an all black car.

If you couldn't think of these reasons on your own, you must be in the 3rd grade....
