I have a base 2010 magnetic black and I thought I would get the windows and rear tinted. I admit tinting improves looks from the outside and since I was considering it, I started looking into it. Problem s that you cannot see the driver very well from the outside...thus you downgrade your own cool looks. I like to see the driver and I don't mind them seeing me.

I also think at night you cannot see very well to the sides and that is a bit more risky as well

I am not so sure I want to get windows tinted.

The less people can see me the better. I have no interest in whether people can see me or not, and it tremendously improves the looks of the car.

The less they can see me, the less they can see the inside of my car. Better for security purposes. Not to mention, keeps this uber white boy from getting burned......

Car looks better tinted, but if you want people to see you roll down the windows

Tint it. It's nice to have a little peace and separation from the world outside. Now that I'm tinted, the privacy aspect of tinting is my favorite thing.

What if you're picking your nose, driving naked, or something like that?


Not sure you want people to see you do that, nor do we want to see it!
