Should I tint my windows? - Page 3 - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

I tinted the windows on my old Audi. It was a pain to get it looking correct, but it's not SO bad. Be aware though, getting it just right is a four or five hour project if you haven't ever done it before.

Also window tint looks pimp, you will pick up a lot of hoes once get that sh*t tinted! The other thing you can do that is dual purpose is some fat 20 inch rims with spinners, the spinners help preserve forward momentum.

Except the 20" rims and the fat wideness take away any gains from the less use of A/C, the Spinners create lots of drag, and the hookers weigh down the car!

What about a clear heat blocking film?

Cool.

I found this thing that shows you what it would look like.

I couldn't find any place that sells kits, but there are some window tint places that will use it as tint on your windows.

I tinted the windows on my old BMW. It was a pain to get it looking right, but now its happening. Took a while for the people to work on it, but they got it pretty good.

Also window tint looks makes the car look nice, youll be surprized at the difference. The spinners are a nice addition to, a spinner will get the forward momentum going

I would also say that the audi must have been a project too

Tell you something...I would really like to drive the new c300 sport w/ the upgraded suspension. It takes that car above and beyond. If you havent considered it already you should.

Tint can look good on any car as long as you put on the right film and be sure to use proper window tinting procedures. Its very important to ensure that all work is done correctly.
