my daily is 16% all the way around and i've never been hassled by popo's.  Lots of show vehicles have them clear so you can see the interior better, but i'm putting 10% all the way around on my burb, and like 50% (or lighter, not sure yet) on the windshield.  It is a bit of a pain to drive at night, though, but my fat irish ass burns if i'm in the sun longer than 20 minutes with no sunblock, so tint is a must for me.  The side of my face burned when i first got my vibe b/c it had no tint.  So it's really up to you.

No tint for me. I like the light blue tint luxury cars have though, especially with black paint

I prefer not to have tint but in AZ it's a must.  I have double 5% all around on my K5, have 5% all around on my Accord, had 5% all around with 20% on windshield of my old Mitsu, and gonna go the same as the Mitsu on my Hardbody  probably next month.  The only one that's not gonna have tint is the Sentra but that really won't be driven that much and it has a spot in the garage so it really won't be necessary.

I like the clean look of clear windows, especially on light colored trucks.

Had 10% on for 5 years..And got SIX..yes, SIX tickets at $80 a pop..Even though it wasnt a moving violation, it seemed like every time a county guy needed to meet his quota theyd come lookin for me..Never got cited for any other Mod, Window tint is just something they can see visually crusing and its a ticket that cant really be beaten in court.Really liked the privacy though, didnt have people starin you in the face when your shovin your finger up your nose at a stop light..haha..Took it off a month or so ago..I really should have done it sooner..Trying to make those left hand turns at night just got 100% easier.

I limo'd the sonoma 2 days after I got it stock, daily'd it for 2 months before we laid it out, and then daily'd it the rest of that nice weather until winter came. I love the tint, but with having nearly everything painted and all the little things done inside, it's come time for me either strip it off to the basic 80% back 3 window tint or hopefully come accross the all clear factory non-tint rear glass.

All my friends poke fun at me for driving a fish bowl, cuz I love all clear glass. It's nice to have a cooler interior, but seeing the interior with all clear glass is neat too.

I have been a window tinter for more than 6 years and i love it on every vehicle. The right tint job just makes the glass look better...notice how in all car commercials the vehicles have tinted windows!!! Also if you have a nice painted interior it can keep it lookin better longer and keep the glare off your eyes if your dash is all butter smooth. I know you guys like the clear look but there is also very light films out today that enhance the windows....I have a 43% film that gives windows the look of Mercedes glass because it has a light blueish silver shade to it. Then there is the clear film that protects against harmful uv rays...I have put this on alot of state/county truck windshields because the driver were complaining about being exposed to too much sun while driving all day. Personally I love my windows as dark as i can get um!!!

I plan to tint for Security. My truck doesn't sit in a garage, it sits in my driveway. I would hate to have my in-dash DVD and Nav stolen by some punk kids just because they saw it in there... I leave my windows down at shows so people can see the interior...
