Has no one tinted their windows?

In my Miata, if it's cold enough to raise the windows, it's cold enough to raise the roof.

And FireAMX, I am sorry to say, but the BEST time of year to ride around topless with the windows up is when its cold outside... My toosh can stay nice and toasty, thanks to the heated seats and my feet warm due to the warm air being directed down.
I just wish the convertibles had better fans to adjust to having the top down... like the SLK's that are going to have the vents in the headrest! Now THAT would be great!
5% tint all the way around. You can't see in the car at all, no matter how close you get to the window, what time of day or how bright it is outside...it looks incredibly smooth, and protects the interior and keeps it cool inside all at once.

I got 20% Onyx tints all around. On a black car, they look great! Just the tints really set my xfire apart from the others I see. I see very very few here with tints, but most of the ones I see are Enterprise rental cars. The tints make a HUGE difference with the temperature inside the car. When I get a crossfire loaner, the car doesn't feel like it is cooling down with the AC on full. My car cools down in about 15 min, and I can cut the fan back to 2.

...just look at my "motto" on the bottom of my signature! (which is actually on my driver window) !!!
Hey CC, I felt the same way when I was your age in my beautiful new 280ZX circa 1982.
Now nearly 25 years later, I prefer the way the tint enhances visual appeal.
Oh... and it also makes the car look better too.

I know, something you men just cannot comprehend! 
I don't mean to be offensive or anything...I guess I'm just used to cold weather. I've shoveled in my shorts before.
I think I'd like to get my windows tinted eventually, but not anything near limo tint. I hate when you glance over at someone's window while you're driving next to them and you can't make out any semblance of a person inside of the vehicle.

i got 13%, and i'm not the happiest about it, i'm thinking about going limo. i like the dark look, i don't like people seeing me unless i want them to see me, which is when i roll the window down and let them get a glance. =p
20% on the side and rear windows, 45% on the windshield. Love it!
