It might not look the best on all trucks, but it protects the interior and keeps it cooler... Tint for daily drivers!

tint is awsome. always worth it. keeps your interior cooler durring the summer months. and you can park in the walmart parking lot and mess with people with the PA on a cb radio and they cant see you hahaha

You beat me to this tread. I was trying to decide the same thing. I see the benefits in tinting them,but on the other hand i've spent a few $$ on the interior so i hate to hide that.

I used to think tint was cool...not so much anymore! seems like everybody has it...really not a fan of tint on the windshield, like two big stupid looking strips of tint across the top and bottom! There's a reason why you dont see it on show trucks and cars....

Since tinted windows were pretty common '73-'87 it's period correct so sure, why not.

And in Midland Texas..... definately!

In Tx, tint is mandatory, or so I thought. I have it on anything I drive regularly.

Seriously, I had flash backs of grade school and making farting noises on a loud speaker and giggling about it. ;)

No tint. Makes me think you're hiding crappy interior.

;)I suggest to go with the "LIMO TINT" cuz some brands make it dark on both sides and the "LIMO TINT" lets you see out but no light in or people to see in:sumo:

Blanco_53 02-17-2011 11:48 PM

Re: Tint or no tint???
 
Well I got limo tint on the back window.....but I can't since it's against Texas law

I want to tint my windows... I heard tinting the windshield is illegal though. Is that true in Texas?

Blanco_53 02-17-2011 11:54 PM

Re: Tint or no tint???
 
I believe so.....but once you tint the truck....it looks like you've tinted the windshield

Re: Tint or no tint???
 
Your allowed to have your tint five inches from the top of the windshield down. Up north here it can be any darker then 15% but me and my buddies have 5% on everything we drive. Just roll down you windows if you see the cops!
