I think a slight tint improves the looks of the car and if you drive it daily and its in the sun protects the interior some also. Totally subjective in the looks dept but I tint all my cars personally.

I agree with slight tint only. Too dark and it makes the car look cheap IMHO

agree, not too dark. go with a ceramic tint - better UV and heat protection

I bought a used 996ttS cab in triple black with tint, from TX.
I removed the tint, it was too much Darth, reinforced by the smaller glass on the cab, well rear view anyway.

I LOVE tints. Keeps the car cool in the summer and looks awesome. I have 20% all around and 50% on the windshield.
