Don't like tint. Upscale cars without tint look classier.

Tint

Had a 996TT cab and did not tint, on all my non convertibles i have tinted so this time just bought a new one and want all black look so I tinted and I love the entire look so I'm glad I tinted. Really though I guess since I almost always drive so far with the top down and all windows down maybe it was a waste of money for a convertible but I like it anyways.

Tinting limits your nighttime visibility IMO. It can also attract the attention of law enforcement. Other than that it looks good and keeps the cabin cooler.

No tint, worse visibility, in my area cops can be strict on tints on occasion, and I have white painted seat backs, which wouldnt come through the rear tint, so that sealed the deal for me.
