is window tinting cheesey?
Please - no disrespect to any guys with their car windows tinted...but I am starting to think it 'cheapens' for lack of a better expression, the look of the car....and having it removed on Tuesday. I am just trying to figure out in my own mind why I got up one morning and said - "this looks to gangster for me". Is it just me or our TT's simply too classic and too special to tint?

100% agree...sorry I should have prefaced the question as one who doesn't need it for interior protection or occupant comfort (ie: southern climates) - purely asthethic/ cosmetic.

This is one of the reasons I went for a lighter tint @ 73% all around. I get the protection benefits of infrared and UV blocking without it being too dark and I can drive at night without any visibility issues. It is subtle but just enough against the black interior to make it look darker than normal to give it a nice touch.

It is unfortunately a necessity here. That being said, I also tinted my cars when I lived in NY, mostly for aesthetic purposes. A light (>35% or more) tint I think enhances the appearance of car. Limo just looks stupid....unless you drive a limo.

Living in the North East, I like a very light tint all around for looks. A friend of mine even tinted the windshield (very light all around but still highly illegal) and the car looked amazing, even though nobody could put a finger on as to what had changed.

You ABSOLUTELY need it down here. My turbo has 35% tint all around. I don't think it looks cheesy at all. I like the fact that it blocks out a good amount of heat, 99% of UV, and adds a little bit of privacy as well.

Tinted windows is a must for any tropical or desert climate environment. If you don't like the shade of tints, but want 110% of the benefits, go with Huper optiks. These are the ****, literally. you can "tint your car, but not even notice you have them, but at a cost.

I live in Los Angeles and i personally hate driving a car without tints.
Especially a nice car which gets alot of looks.
I would rather be a shadow behind the tint than end up being in peoples pictures, or god forbid get seen doing something reckless by a relative or associate.
