All of my cars (non-winter/daily beaters) have been limo on all windows and limo/titanium film on windshields. I'm sure the tt will get it soon.

One advantage of tint is that it blocks most of the UVA and UVB rays that cause interior damage and heat build up. Drive a car on a very sunny day with tint and you can feel how much cooler the interior is. You'll never need to move the sunshade over your drivers side window. Once you get used to it, you notice when you drive a non tinted car immediately. As too looks, the darkness of the tint is up to your personal taste and leniency of you local police

Did it here in Florida...one really has to do it as the sun would likely trash the interior in time...and it gets way less hot.

I had it done by a guy who the porsche shop said did all the 99x's well....not just Joe Average tinter....the back window is a PITA. Now, with the harness bar in and the gt3 seats it would mean a lot of work....so do it with folding seats in if you can...

I think its all personal preference. I tinted my car at 35% love the look. Eventually I will want to change the look of the car and remove tints, swap wheels, ect for a more OEM look. Go for it, its not major bucks if you want to remove them.

fred99 is infamous around these parts
Lightbulb Window Tint
Same here, I wouldn't own a car without tint I had my car tinted last month and I'm really impressed with the results. I asked help from www.TintBuyer.com. They provided free relevant information for tint buyers such as its types, quotations, current laws involved in every state and most importantly they help me locate the best window tinters near my area.
