Should the window tiniting go?
When I bought this 93 it had 50% window tinting. My original thoughts were to remove it, but it's starting to grow on me. What do you think, should it stay or go?

A couple of things to look at,
1st is it legal in your state
2nd can you see out of it
3rd do you like it
I dont have tint on mine (yet) but the look is awsome, even with legal tint all the way around..

#1 It can be a real pain to remove it, especially from the rear hatch
#2 It will keep the car cooler
#3 On a black car it looks great.
= Keep it.

I am looking to tint mine too.
I have a pologreen metallic. Not sure what the legal limit is in Texas-seems like 15% sounds right.
Anyone have any good pics of a polo green metallic with various %'s. I think the darker, the better as far as looks. But I am just concerned about seeing out of a 15% tint at night...particularly the sides. Does it really affect your vision that badly?
