Why did you tint your RX-8?

Is it just 'cause you like the way it looks, or are there other reasons?

I've always tinted all my cars.

Here in So Cal, it gets pretty f'ing hot.
F'ing hot leather will definitely burn your ***** right off...not good.

I've tinted all my cars, but not because it reduces heat but because I do it for privacy aspect of it. I hate driving down the highway and having people look in my car. It also makes the car look 100 times better.

So my reasons are....

1. Privacy
2. Appearance

Wasn't that concerned about the privacy..... I just think it looks great. I've got it lighterr on the front windows to try and appease the 5-0. Unfortunately in VA legal is too light to be worth while.

Who says the reason for his post is to give him motivation to tint his windows?
