definitely tint, just make sure you use a good tinter. the large back hatch glass has a funny curve profile that's difficult to fit properly. all those black dots at the top are also hard to make look good. a good tinter can handle it, though. | |

I say tint it if thats what your looking for. I also recommend NOT to have an "eyebrow" installed on the front glass, It will look better without it with the top down. I had an 18" eybrow on my first black camaro with 5% all the way around. You couldnt see in at all in full sunlight which was pretty cool, the down side was the eyebrow looked stupid with the windows down and the t-tops out. | |

Tint it! I also cannot stand for my vehicles windows to be untinted. Just check into how bad your local cops are about pulling cars for illegal tint before you do it so you can decide how dark to go, the darker the better. The cops around me have nothing better to do and will pull people just cause they think the tint is illegal, thus I have to suffer with only 35% or I would have had it pulled within a month of having it done. | |

If you want to, go for it. Personally mine sees weekends only and when I do drive it either the windows are down or the windows are down and the t-tops are off. So pretty much 100% of the time the window is down inside the door, except when I wash it. I don't think I need tinted windows for my car to get a bath.

Thanks for posting this question, I have an 02 NBM bird T-tops and don't know if I should tint my windows either? When Im cruising and have a lady friend in the ride with me I have a little fun and wish I had tint. Then I also don't want the attention of cops and so forth. I don't know

I don't know | hahahahahhahaha... irony...
i have 5% on my windows... just got done getting it in a crowded parking lot, of course i was parked a bit away from everyone.. but still.. hahahaha, no worries...
i would like to do that more than not have it cause of cops and not get to have fun... plus i dont like people being able to see me..

I wouldn't have tinted mine if the car hadn't been tinted when I got it. It was all jacked up with tons of giant bubbles so I had it retinted as soon as I bought it and I like it. I have a black one so it kind of just completes the car for me.
