Yea I would also say go ahead and go for the tint. It not only makes the car look nicer, but it keeps it so much cooler inside than if they weren't tinted. I say this cause the windows on the Alero are not tinted, but the windows on my Intrigue are. Well the Intrigue always seems just a tad bit cooler on the inside than the Alero and well its because the tinted windows really do help.

Is was $150 here for the entire car.
Not only does the tint keep the car cooler, it saves the interior from getting beat up by the UV rays

Tint for sure. I feel so out in the open in cars without it. At night, it sucks pretty bad, but it more than makes up for that on hot sunny days.

I agree...simple opinions you need to form yourself. Look at pics and decide. It's all you need to do.

Ohio laws are 50% on drivers and passenger windows. The rear windows/quarter glass can be more. Same for the rear window.
The windshield is a 9" strip 50% at the top only.
Im gonna get mine done finally now car is paid off.

Do it legally.
If you go to an illegal limit, your just waiting for a ticket. It will happen..eventually. and then you'll have to spend hours removing it, or pay for it to be removed... OR (idiotic route) pay the fine and not remove it, and wait for another ticket.
