If color of your car is green and you want to match the color, it'll be a standout fromthe crowd. Before you do it though, make sure your state, county or even possibly city codes are being followed in tinting level of regulation imposed. Some city or county even goes as far as having to place a percentage of the tint sticker be posted on your front windshield by the law. Basically so they can see you inside. Anyhow good luck!

California doesnt allow ANY tint on front windows... but we all do it

"Tints?"

I think OP meant window tint.

With tint, less is more. Keeps you out of trouble with the po-po and lets the ladies see in.

In Cali, I would not do tint. I love the look without. Now I'm in TX, you need tint. Dark is more here in TX, because you leave the ladies wondering who is in there. Then when you walk out of the car, its like the caveman from the geico commercial....

Tint is personal preference. What is the legal limit in your state? If you go darker then the limit, is popo sticklers about enforcing tint laws?

Agreed. I would just do the legal limit so you wouldnt have to worry.
