Default Tint it, or leave it alone. YOU DECIDE!



There it is. I've had her since 02, and am showing no signs of getting rid of it. My biggest fear is that someday I will want to take the tint off the back window and ruin the defroster. My friend who is a professional window tint installer has offered to do it for free since I have brought him so much work. What do you think??

Do it

You don't mess up your defrosting if you remove it, so long as you go slow... I've had to do it before on my own ride.

Tint or go home. Tint looks good on every car, depending on %. I went with 32% doors, 20% hatch. Love it.
