Car looks great with or without tint.
All depends on you!
My opinion:
Tint makes the car look slick. Especially a darker color.
But, with a nice interior, why would you want to hide this?
The interior color can really add contrast and beauty to the car. You might be hiding this with tint.
either way... both look great..
I just saw a seal gray 4s that was tinted. Definitely looked slick!

I don't like tint . I feel it makes a new car look like a used car , cuts visibility, and implies that the person driving the car is riddled with hidden agendas .

But that's just my opinion .

I say tint it... makes the car look different and wild... keeps the car cooler.. and hides your belongings left in the car.. and I dont like being seen unless I want to be.

I'd tint it. I especially like the look of tints on a dark colored car.

very light tint is a must. not a fan of darker stuff personally. cuts down the uv rays that hurt your interior bits!

depends on where you live, if you get a lot of sun tint the car, save your interior and it will be easier getting in it after a long hot day.

tell the dealer to do it no charge... I get them to do my cars no charge when I buy new... get 20% or 30%.. sometimes the lighter % tint looks classy compared to dark...
