Depending on the tint, it could make the car look better. Actually tinted high end cars tell me that the person is more of a car enthusiast and more than likely has more mods on the car.

That's the first time I've heard of that.

I'm one of those who loves LEGAL tint, mostly for the dramatic heat reduction and hopefully fabric/leather protection; Imo it usually improves the appearance if the color match is good. The "used" car question is certainly correct on an old job that's started to bubble or delaminate but most decent tinters have valid lifetime warranties and will redo it; worst case have it scraped off and redone.

I like my tint

I have legal tint on my C4 and like it.

Nearly all TV and print ads show cars with heavy tint. I find that I notice the car more with tint, as you don't see through the car.

Here a sneak peek at my 50% tint Formulaone Pinnacle; The roof is open so it may look a little darker when closed.

Its usually the first thing that I do to my car. I love how cars look with tinted windows.

I know, I know, it's not a 997. Here is my tinting though. I like it as dark as posssible. Not only does it kill the heat in the summer (car is very comfortable, even after sitting out in the sun all day), it also stops the blinding lights from giant SUVs behind be from shining in my eyes (in both rear-view AND side mirrors).

In the summer the hard top comes off and the windows go down ... these are two very different looks.

I'm all for a heavy tint as well. I just don't like backing up in a pitch black area. It makes it hard to see out.

Still debating this myself. Not sure if I should go real darker or a little lighter on white.
