Question

I think dark window tints spoil the look of a car. Pimp mobile style.

Opinions pls.

Look gr8 on a dark coloured car, but don't go too pimp. Stay 1 shade above legal to look cool, and not cheesy.

Hmm, limo tints are kind of standard on Legacy GTBs....

I like them

Helps keep the temperature inside the car down as well.

Reckon they look OK on the right colour car. Scary though if you ride a motorbike and trying to make eye-contact with the driver.

Yes, i think that there are a number of reasons too, they are a great stying mod., it gives you the illusion of privacy, some film is also security film, which is harder to break through and it stops people being able to view anything in the car.

Tints Yes, As long as they are not too dark and are installed by a proffesional, Had mine done and they look the business. Have seen some cars with very dark tints and pimp daddy springs to mind.
