I'm debating on tinting the windows on my white s13. I just cant seem to make up my mind. I enjoy the nice clean look of no tint, but I like privacy and fading protection of tint. Looking for opinions, however there is no need to flame or hate.

thanks, I have a fastback. The thing that strikes me as horrid is the rear side glass. When it is tinted I think it looks almost goofy.

I'll look for a better angle, but I think you're right, that much black against the white body, may seem weird??

tint never looks bad on any car. I only took mine off my 89 silver hatch because it was too dark in the front to be legal. It came on the car when i bought it about 6 months ago, and i coudl tell it was atleast 5 years old. So i just took it all off instead of just the front window tint. I can definitely say it looked better with tint on it.

Make sure you buy good tint, so it doesn't turn purple

JayDeeM - he's got a good point, depending on your location that can me more of a problem.

I took your advice J-Spec, I was getting sick of it too. Just too lazy to change it. And thanks for the compliment on the cars.
