To tint or not to tint, that is the question.

IeatPorche · 11-19-2005, 04:48 PM

What does everyone here think of mrk1's with tinted windows? I was thinking of tinting my rear windows to about a 20 shade, but I'm not sure if that works for the car. I've looked around the net at mrk1 pics and noticed most people don't tint their windows. I definately don't want to "pimp my ride" just a little privacey would be nice. What do you all think?

I tinted mine on my daily driver (MK 2). I've pretty much always had tinted windows on cars I drive often.

What kind of privacy do you need in a car.

Just be careful on train tracks...the results can be disasterous.

blazinmr2 · 11-19-2005, 05:14 PM

make sure to drive over as many potholes as possible while recieving roadhead.

smartash · 11-19-2005, 05:15 PM

AceX · 11-19-2005, 10:27 PM

or, eyes as it were...

Anyway, I can't see a big advantage to tinting the windows in a MK1 too much. I'm going to do it to mine though.

tigerpee · 11-19-2005, 11:46 PM

tint if you have relatively new paint

deicon86mr2 · 11-20-2005, 05:03 AM

I have one tinted and one without. I like them both. On sunny days, tint is good. Backing up at night can be troublesome with tint.
