In no specific order, I tinted to reduce heat, reduce glare during night driving (yeah, the rearview mirror does help with that), increase privacy while parked, and because...it looks good. Well, it does to me. What other reasons do others have?

What do you know tint looks pretty good on white color. I might just do it. Man I keep spending money on this car.
So how much it would cost all around plus the front windshield? It would be quite expensive right? that's why most people don't tint the windshield.

I think a window tint looks great on a Black car and really good on a white car because of the contrast between the black and white... I tinted my windows because it cools the car, and it makes the car look way nicer.

I think people don't tint the front windshield because it's illegal in most states, at least below the ASI line.

Tint looks cool on all colors.. and the darker the tint the cooler it looks

I did mine for $200 total, kinda expensive though. but I'm living in Dubai, so I'm guessing the prices in the states are different.

Here's mine. They say it's "Arizona legal". Not sure exactly what percentages.

I did mine because..well..115 degrees in the summer + Black leather is no fun.

i dont get it... doesnt black "absorb" heat?... so wouldnt it not really change anything that much? other than block out the sun a lil bit? ur car is still getting to the same temp that it was wit out tints if not maybe even hotter since its going to "absorb" heat.... correct me if im wrong :s
