Alright Alright you convinced me!! Im gonna tint em light. Im pretty the reason that I like it w/o is because I have always put limo tint on my cars and have never been able to enjoy the look of my interior from the outside (something about those contour seats), but you guys are right living in this heat its really not practical to not have tint.

I always had tint on my car until I got my e60. I have the auburn dakota interior and I have no tint ( Fishbowling). The interior is too beautiful for me to tint the windows.

Yeah - I re-tinted the entire car to 70% - which is basically the lightest you can go. I did this b/c in SoCal you can't have the front windows darker than 70% and I didn't like two tone look anymore. I tinted b/c I wanted the UV Protection.
I'm really liking the new look...

I'm a fan of tint on any car. That's why I FINALLY got it done the other day. I used to go as low as 20%, but got tired of going from place to place to find someone that would give me an inpsection sticker. 35% is the lowest we can go in Maine, and you can do that on all windows except for windshield. On trucks and SUV's you can go as dark as you want on in the rear. Doesn't make sense to me, but I don't think I would have different shades of tint anyhow.

I've considered going 5%. I have 35% currently and I think it looks great, dark enough to keep the sun out, but the girls can still see me. ha
