To tint or not to tint - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum

DBCPerformance · 09-07-2006, 10:55 PM

Here is the debate, "part of Euro-look is not having tint" said one of my buddies when I asked him why he did not tint his new 330i. Then I thought and realized he has a good point. Of course, here in South TX it is a suicide not having one, but i work during the day anyways. But the question is "Does Euro Look really hate tint?". Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

dude tint that biznatch it looks soo much better

kirk180 · 09-07-2006, 11:25 PM

Euro is tint as well. That's one friends opinion of a "Euro". Tint is so much more practical. And even if you work during the day, do your car a favor and tint her. She still has to put up with that sun. It's a known fact that UV damages sn suto interior and exterior. Therefore tinting seems like a good idea. Not to mention, you know it looks better tinted and that you're going to be driving it in the sun from time to time wishing you had tint.

Deezz_Nuttz · 09-08-2006, 02:17 AM

seriously tint it! I'm regreting not tinting mine. my left arm looks like it was cooked compared to my right just due to the drive time I have through out the day

Wargen023 · 09-08-2006, 03:23 AM

I dont find anything uneuro about tinting, if by euro you mean how cars are styled in europe. Its obvious that the picture of whats euro varies and not always refers to anything you can find i europe.

Turbo GTI · 09-08-2006, 08:55 AM

How about you forget the whole euro theme and do what you will like!!
I say tint it.. just make sure you will like the % you will be using... I have 20% all around and I wish I went with 15 or 5%

DBCPerformance · 09-08-2006, 10:33 AM

Thanks for all the input and the whole suggestion thing. Obviously, as you could see in my garage, I did have tint and will always have tint. The new car is getting tint today as well.

So no tint is JDM right? :laugh: You guys are killing me....:tongue:

gCHOW · 09-08-2006, 02:51 PM

Tint that focker now

And just some UV education. It does not penetrate glass. That's why you won't get sunburned sitting in your car. The extreme heat coming through the glass and the greenhouse effect is what damages interior parts and leather. Drys them out like a 90 year old whore.

DBCPerformance · 09-08-2006, 08:11 PM

:laugh:

Why u guys refuse to understand? I related a simple statement of a friend's that made me think. Probably i should have been more clear. I FUCKING PUT TINT ON ALL MY CARS, IT IS 1000000000000 F HERE. AND I ALWAS DO 5% BITCHES :D

Joel, thx for the education, but you are not telling me something i dunno.
