Tint makes any car look good.

Check your state tint laws.

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.

okay for ohio it says at least 50% of light needs to come in, so do i go the full 50% or tint it less then that

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 20% all the way around, it is the perfect balance IMO

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.

Its not a big deal. Just tint the rears out 20%. They will pull you over for it still but its 100% legal is Ohio.

Just got to have 50% on the driver/passenger and strip on the front window.

I hope to get mine in next paycheck.

oh

the windows come from the factory with 70% tint, if you tint them with 50%, you're blocking 50% of the light coming through the 70%, so 50% of 70% is 35%. sorry it's hard to explain :p
