i hate driving anything with windows that are so dark that i cannot see well at night.
i once got pulled over in iowa (not in a g2, but an a4) and the cop pulled out a little device that went over my window and shot a beam of light to determine how dark my windows were. he gave me a ticket for $80~ because, according to his fancy little tool, my windows were 7%!
i dont think tint is riced out unless it is the chrome tint or something else equally lame.
^^^shit you got lucky with the $80 ticket in Iowa, when I lived there most cops didn’t carry tge tint meters. They don’t need them as its illegal to have any tint on the front doors or windsheild. Everytime I got pulled over for tint they gave me the $80 ticket and made me peel the tint off on the side of the road.
Like Darin d said, here in Texas it’s almost mandatory to have tint, shit most of the cops have 5% on the back and 15-20% on the doors. Here if you want to be different I guess go no tint as 75% of the cars here have it.
I say leave it as is tint looks good IMO. My car has 5% on the backs front doors register at 14.2%, not legal but majority of the cops don’t care.
cerve137 i had 5% up front and limo black in the rea of my zx2. the car wasnt as bad as mostwould seem. the interior was nice. but that about it.
if any tint is rice…its that reflective crapo like chrom its too much. dark is VIP if anything. i mean damn there a stupid yellow sentra yellow everything rims, yellow reflective tints and eeeesh
tint ftw!!! i dont have tint rite now but u should leave it on. i use to have tint in my old car… looks soo much better. trade me ur windows!! i want to tint myn asap!! its too clear without it. atleast 5%tint not to dark n not clear ur goodddd
[QUOTE=IntegraC;2123217]Seriously, this rice thing is going too far. Everyone is so scared of being ‘rice’ that there’s no originality anymore when modifying the look and style of your car. If it doesn’t look like stock, it’s automatically rice? Give me a break.

x2 imo I do things clean and not half ass but because of the fact that my paint is two tone my car is now considered ricer which is b/s because the closest i have to rice on my car is black housing egay’s
If you want an easy way to remove tint you just spray windex on the tint then cut a garbage bag to cover the entire window your trying to remove and let that sit in the sun for like 45 minutes. (has to be on a pretty nice day.) It will hea the glue up and then you can strip the tint off in one piece. and the glue is really easy to take off also just use a razor blade or some hard plastic to remove the residual glue.
i know i live in hick ville Tennessee dude but all my friends have tint and i have 5% on my car and the only time u cant see is when ur backing up n there isnt any street lights unless ur blind. like a bunch of people have said its all up to u and what u like. oh all my friends drive hondas r bagged s10s so yes to the question tint is for ricers
I have tinted windows. Real dark. Not a fan at all. Especially since I use the car primarily for circuits.
I bought the car this way and I guess it keeps the stipped interior and very expensive parts out of view…
There is just something very apealling in an older honda with mint condition windows and a clean interior.
tinted > untinted, but i too prefer the look of no tint on some cars. my 91 was black/tan interior with no tint, and it looked really clean without it. to say dark tint is for ricers? blasphemy! i’m in florida, and even with ac, if you’re in direct sunlight you’re gonna sweat your balls off.
what’s the best way to remove tint?
Hand held steam cleaner. I got an infomercial style one similar to this:
It was about $40 and I love it. I use it for many things and use a lot less chemicals around the house, its also great for greasy car parts.
You could use a strait razor blade to remove tint. Its messy and time consuming.
As for the topic at hand. Colored or chrome tint is rice. Never was a fan of limo tint either:ghetto:, I prefer not to attract the 5-0 as much as possible. There is nothing wrong with a quality moderately dark tint-job. It keeps the interior cool, cuts down UV rays and helps prevent sunburn on your left arm. I tan easily and its really annoying having one tanned arm and a pasty white one.
Very tacky, dont do it.
or the way i explained earlier works too. but that steam cleaner is so dope never would have thought about it.
tint is tint, i like rice, i eat it all day. but do whatevery u want to ur ride. ok tint that shiet where nobody can see you so they’ll have to think, damn who is in there lol.
whaaaaat?
i personally prefer no tint on our cars. i think it looks pimp…gets hella hot though but a lil sweat never hurt nobody???
A lil sweat hurts when your tryin to get a lil head in the whip:)
If it is like limo black I think it looks like a little much on a honda/acura, but that is just my opinion
