I was just about to say "because it looks cool and helps with glare" but, I was looking up how much I was allowed to tint here in CO (27% almost everywhere... I think.. I already forgot.. wow .. mines purple.eh..ya... it looks black so I dont worry about it too much though....), so now I'll say because it looks cool and .. this stuff

 

oh yea and another thing...if you get in an accident and your window breaks, the tint holds the glass together

 

I personally think people like tint so they can hide their identity. You pull up to a nasty beast car with dark tint you don't know if its two punkass kids driving or some ax murdering looking dude. The bad *** factor definitely comes into play. You feel naked without the tint. Like everyone can see in. Look at some of the faces of the guys with really dark tint on this site. Whoa, menacing aren't they? NOT! So get in your super tinted ride and pretend, hide, protect, whatever you want to call it. The laws were enacted to protect law enforcement from being ambushed. The irony is, like I mentioned in an earlier post, check out a dodge caravan, chevy suburban, all the SUV's. So long as the drivers window and front pass windows are legal, you could board up the rest of the windows. Someone intent on causing harm could have a bead on a cop without any clue from one of those long, dark-tinted vehicles.

SMOKEM

 

^^ thats the truth, finally someone nails it.

 

Thanks

 

i was pulled over a few years back by a cop..he said that my "stereo was so loud, you could hear it several blocks away." so, i showed him that my system didnt even work...my amp was shot. i even let him fiddle around with things to see that it didnt work...he then said "roll your windows up"...when i asked him why, he told me that he suspected that my tint was illegal. i refused, and he asked for my information, which he took back to the car. i then called my dad, who happens to be friends with the chief in that district...the cop came back to my car all pissed off, and told me that the next time he sees my car, he would hit me for my stereo, my tint, my exhaust, and my tires being "dangerously low profile" (even though they are stock size)...i told him that was fine, i would just call his chief then too.

 

^ BAHAHAHAH Connections FTW!!! lol

Where ya been patrick? long time no see

 

i gotta get me some of those connections

 

My windows are tinted dark because it helps with the heat here in the summer. It also keeps your car cooler while it bakes in the sun during the day when its 115 outside. It seems to help cool the car off also when you start it, turn on the AC and get moving.

Its about the heat and sun factor for me, but I do like my privacy.

If I am getting a hand job while Im driving....Its no one's biznass but my own.
