I agree - tint on a convertible isn't the best. It looks great when the top is up; but doesn't look right when the top is down and light is coming from inside the cabin.
(I should also mention that mine isn't tinted yet - after I 'absorb' the cost of the audio upgrade, that's the next and final tweak)

I just wanted to "LIKE" this pic here. And say that tint adds more than just a sleekness to the car. It also works as privacy tinting for your passengers and so crooks have a more difficult time seeing in. I am all for the tint.

I'm puzzled I'm in Georgia and usually have the top and windows down, so tinting is of no interest to me. I see that you're in sunny Southern California (where the weather is nicer than in GA), so...when do you put your top and windows up? Why tint the side windows if they're down most of the time?

There is not a car on the road that doesn't look better with tint. Here in NM people even tint the windshield.
I went 15% on all my windows on my Volvo. I liked the way it looked but outside of the city where I live in the mountains it was hard to see. My XJ6 dosnt have tint as of yet but if I don't tint it the interior is going to get eaten alive by the sun.
So hopefully in the nest couple of weeks I will have it finished. Probably go 20%
