I could be alone on this but I've started to think that tint might be more of a trend than a timeless appearance mod. I think it's starting to fade along the same lines as black wheels and dark taillights. Aside from those that DD their cars in hot climate and utilize tint for function, where do you guys stand regarding tint on your cobras? Is it dependent on paint color? Wheel color? Something else? Limo tint used to be there very first thing I ever did to my cars. Now I'm starting to like totally clear glass with a clean interior more and more.
Dark Tint, Light Tint, No Tint?

My car and my truck have tint. I've never been a fan of limo. I usually keep it around 25-35%. I think it helps the interior last as well. The color of the car doesn't matter to me. I think it looks good no matter what color.
I have mine tinted. Came that way... it's 35 % it's not dark enough for my liking but I can see out of it a night.
A murdered out cobra is still pretty sick.
For example
2004 Cobra 2.9 Whipple
I think black is the only color I would tint now. Likely because it gives the car a clean uniformed look. Otherwise for whatever reason I've started to think tint takes attention away from the paint (assuming the paint has great gloss and depth). I dunno, maybe I'm weird. I'm having the tint removed on my DSG and going back with the clean/clear look
Having the tint as a part of the whole tint package on DSG looks really good. Smoked headlights and tails seems to bring it all together.
On it's own I agree doesn't fit but simple smoked tails and darker wheels do make it look great...
2004 Cobra 2.9 Whipple
I removed all the tint from my 93, except the rear window. My Terminator has light tint, but I think it looks better without. My daily has construction paper for tint.
See, I'd remove the tint and replace the tails with stockers or ambers.....although that does look killer for sure. I have the same color combo on my TF wheels
That's why I picked this particular picture. When it all ties in then it looks menacing like a DSG should.
I hated the red lights on my 04. I like blacked out better
the Amber's on 01 were very nice but 04 cobra looks better

Just my little mineral grey GT. I prefer tint over no tint. If you live in GA, tint is almost mandatory. The benefits of having a good tint far outweigh clear glass.

I compared for a while before I just chose to tint it.
Tint handsdown. 5% with 35% on the windshield. 15% on the truck.
No one likes driving around in a fishbowl.
Every car looks better with tint. If this wasn't the case auto manufacturers would not show every car commercial with tinted windows, including the windshield.

Tint fo sho.
The basic mod, even do the wife’s cars, including the new minivan
Seriously though—tint, wheels, stance the bare minimum for a car guy

35% is legal here in MA on the front doors. Everything else can go as dark as you please (other than windshield).
I've always been a fan of 25-30%. Not too light, but not dark enough to attract attention from the authorities.

I'm one of those that needs tint on my DD. Gets hot as hell here in the summer.
With that said, I removed the tint from my vert when I bought it. Had limo and I couldn't see s#!t when I would drive at night. I never put tint on my Roush. Wanted to keep it stock.
My 03 coupe has tint as I think it adds to the custom look of the car. So, to me it depends on what you want. Tint is practical and it can enhance the look of your car. It can also be distracting if you go to dark.
Like any other mod you have to choose what works for you.
