Has anyone put tint on their windows yet?

I know this might be a stupid question, but is anyone deciding to put dark tint on their windows. I want to put dark tint on my windows shortly after I receive my Evo and was wondering if anyone else here is gonna do it as well.

I will probably tint the car once I get it. Should look good on the yellow. All the side windows, the rear window, possibly an "eyebrow" on the front.

Well, due to the race-car nature of the Evo, I was wondering if tint was unnecessary for a car like this.

Probably within a week of picking it up; well maybe 2 weeks since I may want to drive it a bit before giving it up for a day. Going as dark as possible; will look awesome with the yellow.

I'm going to dissent.

I've had tint a couple times before on various cars, but I've become quite convinced that cars look much cleaner without tint.

Trucks and SUV's ... fine .. but sports cars ... naw

I lived in texas for 18 years, so I know it's not a neccesity.

For instance: I am always dissapointed to see a new Ferrari/Lambo/Porshce with tint ... makes it look cheaper ... like chrome wheels

Mine was tinted at the dealer before I bought it. Dark in the rear and 35% in front windows.
I'm trying to post a pic but I don't know how.

I think colored tint is UUUGLY. It doesn't belong on any car... I think it looks waaaaaaaay tacky. I like a good dark tint though. as long as its high quality...

Don't do yellow tint ;p Instead get a mirror tint. Will have a similar effect but look nice and clean. Personally I like smoke tint but will wait and see what's going to look best on the car. When it gets hot tint is a lifesaver.
