Why tint?

Looks mostly, especially on a black car. Heat reduction is definitely a huge factor too.

@ Florida_GATOR: ooh i see...the lower the darker! Does anyone know the limit in Toronto? BTW, whats a 5-0? lol

@ sinceday1: oooh yeah that makes sense! But wouldn't people be able to see in once they put their face on the window and cover the sides of their face? but i suppose it would discourage people to look into a car if it had tint lol ^^

@ Wicked_G: yeah hahha i used to change in my dad's tinted van...no one can see me! But why do cops pull you over if you are in the legal limit? What did they pull you over for after realizing you have a legal tint percentage?

@ molamann: yeah haha black car and black tint! it sure does look nice..but...is it legal to tint in other colors?

Ok, I don’t do THAT in my car haha.
But sometimes, (and you have to understand that I sit in LA traffic AT LEAST 5 hours a day/3 days a week & 3-6 hours on Saturdays and Sundays), when I see someone doing something….odd, or a funny plate number, or anything out of the ordinary..I like to bust out the cam. Or laugh hysterically at them. That’s when tints come in handy. You wouldn’t think it-but…there you go.

My uncle, the previous owner of the car, got cited for tints twice, and twice he got them signed off by his cop friend(didn’t remove them). I have yet to be cited, but my father is a police officer so….. It’s all good(won’t ever have to worry about it).

I have been pulled over twice though on ‘suspicion of aftermarket modifications’. I don’t know why. It's all stock. Must be a G thing.

aftermarket modifications LOL but i guess our cars are mostly driven by people who want to street race i guess...but of course most of us want it for looks and status too...i think...haha
