Should I get tint?

If I get tint I'm going with 35% all windows except the windshield of course.

This shouldn't be a question but o well

Black + tint = hotness

Additionally, for me living in South Carolina, at the end of the day when I get into my car after work it is a good 10+ degrees cooler on the inside, at least during the summer.

Since you can't tint the front windows in NJ the police will like you also, easy ticket.

Yes tint,my 8 had 50%,but I had to remove-nanny state of maine says 35% limit-unless u get letter from MD stating bright sun effects you. Now I need to get 35%

yes
i have 15s all around
risk is worth it for the look to me. it's only a fix it ticket.
actually only regret is since it's already illegal, i wish i just went with limo tint

btw yea it's harder to see outside so if the weather's nice out i usually ride with both windows down
but in the least when i park it looks so much more nice

Even though tint would look better on all the windows minus the windshield i only got tint on the back 3 windows and it looks good since like expo said in nj its illegal on the front windows. Window tint is more than just looks. it keeps the car a little cooler, and saves the interior from sun damage. I got mine done at Ziebarts and it came with a lifetime warranty

Get, if for no other reason than to keep the heat down and save your interior. I have 35% on by Black Mica. Its the upgraded metallic stuff, it has an almost gun metal like look that really compliments the black. Fortunately for me in my part of the Florida the cops don't care about tint, emissions, sound, or speeding under 10 over ;)

tint makes ur 8 fifty thousands and eighty times cooler than numbers that you have to type everything out aside from the number 8.

I really like those kind of COPs . The asses here have nothing better to do.

Phoenix cops are usually cool about tint, since it's hot as hell every day of the year.

id definitely go with tint, especially on a black car, 35% all around will look much nicer than what it is now. I went with 35% front and 20% all around the back and im very happy with the result

No. Or maybe yes.

I went 35% all around and 50% on the front windshield. A cop friend checked the windows and said that my sides had 27% do to factory tint inside the windows. I have a 04 VR and on sunny days it looks nice but wish I went with at least 20%. But to answer the question: YES!!!
