To me, tinting looks ok...but it also makes it look old. Im keeping the tint off of mine for at least a year...then maybe Ill throw on the tint when the newness of my car wears off.

Definitely go for the tint, I've had my 35/20% combo for almost a yr now and haven't looked back. The car looks so much better with tint.

it might just be me but it looks good when your windows match your paint

Do whatever tint is legal in BC

You are planning on purchasing the car after the lease ends, right?

I'm getting 15% Limo tint tomarrow.. I have a carbon blue with the silver stripe... so I hope it turns out good... 5% is WAY TO MUCH and I'm tired of people seeing my face... just in case. I try to not have to many enemies but people will hate you just cause you drive something nicer... Safty First hehe

Unique Twins,

I believe the term "limo tint" is technically reserved for 5% tint (or lower). I have 15% and the installer said "or you could go with limo tint which is 5%". As for 5%, I agree that its "way too much" ... its tough to see through at night.

Mr. Gan,

Black tint is the way to go in my opinion, but I'm not you.

I'm doing all the windows (except windshield) with 35% on my car. I was looking at a car with 20% and one next to it with 35%. I like the look where you can see into the car still, but the window is obviously tinted. So basically, its all personal preference. My other opinion is go for the same tints all the way around.
