How is tint in general, "rice"??? Tint is functional: Keeps the interior cooler, blocks most of the sun's rays, and gives a little privacy. Its the color/shade you choose which determines if it looks stupid or not.

Dumb question! Why do you care if anyone thinks or doesn't think your cool, or the car is cool? It's your car do whatever makes you happy.

Or do you have a self esteem issue?
I have no issues whatsoever. This thread was made strictly with the intention for discussion; I guess, for some reason, I thought this was a discussion board.

In fact, my **** is pretty damn dark as it is, but I'm getting the rear hatch and small panels redone a little darker so it matches. That's a decision that's already been made, I wasn't asking "Hai guyz, wat modz do I do with my new z car?"

So, chill - and like I said earlier, I was just curious what everyone else's opinion was. No harm, no foul.

Tint makes any car look better. Check out car commercials... all the cars on them have tint.

Mirror tint = way tacky (but I hardly see it anymore)

Really dark tint (think 5%) looks a bit much on anything but a black car. Anything else though looks good IMO. I generally think tint looks good and would have mine tinted if it weren't for the fact that I'd be likely to get a ticket (and have to remove it) for it in this area.

mirrored tint is rice, but a nice 20-30% is perfect

Exactly what i was thinking. Stupid blue tint got the car looking like an aquarium. Simple black tint or smoke is far from rice.

I hate every color tint but black..and hate the look of any car that is not tinted black. I would tint the windows of any car I owned, no matter how expensive the car is.

Black Tint=First mod needed on any car
