Tint the windows or not?

[johnnycharger]

Hi guys
I have been on the fence with this for a while....
Who has aftermarket tint on their charger?  Do you like it or regret it?
Pics?

I can't get into ghetto tint. Personally, I like factory tinted glass. It looks classy.

[J.Bond]

Yup Hate ghetto tint,  have asked in the past, if any tint manufacturers make a lighter green tint closer to the original. I kind of gave up asking tint companies that question, because, they usually think, I'm off my rocker!!!!! have not inquired for several years at this point, however, I would imagine there is a market for a lighter tint.

I took out my factory tinted glass and bought new clear glass so that I could put dark tint on it.  I will put 5% on the sides and probably 40-50% on the whole windshield.  Unfortunately my car is totally dismantled and I can't offer you any pictures.   Maybe in a couple years.        I definitely will be putting dark tint on my car.

I'm a fan of the factory tint also but thats just a personal opinion.

I worked at a tint shop for 6 years, so I maybe biased, but:

Depends on the car to me.

If its an original car, 15 inch wheels/redline tires, stock ride height, etc, it looks better with no tint.


If its modified, or a darker color, I like charcoal tint. Plus it has the functionality of keeping the cabin cooler if you drive with the windows up and A/C on.

My 70 has 35% tint on the door glass, and 15% on the rest, I love it. Not going back. Plus, it helps the two tone effect. Top half of car is black, bottom half is bright yellow.

I totally agree with you. Cars that are pretty much stock, look best without it (or factory tint). And I mean ANY classic car. But, It depends on the car, the color of it as to relation of light or dark tint used, and a person's personal taste. Personally, if the car is modified, then it looks good with a light tint, 35% or lighter. A light colored car looks better with a lighter tint. I got 35% on my Buick which is silver,  and I got 20% on my Ram front doors, which is dark green. But it also matches the factory tint on the rear windows.

BTW, LOVE your car JR.

Thanks TruckDriver, appreciate it!

Irrelevant for me, since I usually drive with all of the windows down anyway.  I tore the AC system out years ago...

[John_Kunkel]

Since the OP is based in Kalifornia, be aware of the rules regarding window tint. Cops love to write up too-dark window tint on windshields and driver's side glass (70%).

[Mopar Nut]

Prefer the factory tint here too.

I had a shop tint all the windows in the Daytona before we went to Talladega...kept the inside way cooler

In Virginia 30 yrs ago, I had to have my cars inspected every six months, dark tint would not pass. I rolled down my windows before going, passed every time.

25 years ago, VA went to annual inspections, then soon after, took "tint" off the inspector's list of tasks to "reject" or pass 

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

I have tint on all my cars except the chargers. State law indicates I MUST have a pass. side mirror to tint the fronts, and I don't, so I can't. 

But on all else, it's there, and dark, but legal, with a waiver.

[johnnycharger]

Hi All
Thanks for all of the responses. I have tinted windows on my daily and love it. If I did the charger it would only be the back three windows because of California law. My windows are all down about 95% of the time. Being as it is flat black now... I think it would add to the looks.
I had never given thought about relating it to rim size. I think that is pretty dang smart. I may wait until I upgrade my 15" slots to 17" wheels....

That looks awesome!

[Lennard]

I'm going to have my windows tinted when I'm putting it back together.

[MoparMotel]

I do... Black on black 68' and have all windows 5% except windshield

[thrillbilly]

Agreed, original looking cars no, modified, the darker the better.  Does suck at night though.
