Polish is an unknown quantity at this point
My black Fit with black interior with no tint and 10 windows was brutal on hot days. In the garage it's fine but after sitting in an open parking lot all day at work it's like an oven. I am going to tint mine myself though, hopefully it's not to hard. I have seen it done, it looks pretty simple. Just tedious. I think I am going to do 20% all over since here in Indiana 30% is the limit on all windows but that is just to light for me so I will go for 20%.

For what it's worth, I have 20% on my Blue Fit and in the dead of summer up in New England it still bakes inside. The only thing worse than the Fit was the new Civics, I had 20% on my coupe with 6 windows all together, but that front windshield was HUGE.

I didn't do it because the company wanted to charge me an extra $50 for those two dinky windows. They said they would bring the total of tinting up to 9 windows and they disregard size.

i did mine..
i think it would look weird if you tint up all the windows in a dark percent and leave those clear. By dark i think 35% will be noticeable enough.

Got my tint done yesterday. This is my first Mod.
55% fronts, 35% rears, visor 35%

Fit is Dark as hell. I guess it's due to the black interior.
Now my driving life has transitioned to looking cool and avoiding the Po-Po

Tint really enhances the look of the Fit I must say.

Pics will be forth coming

Just move to New Mexico. Here they do not care about tint. Of course, that is about all they do not care about!!!

the first thing i did when i got mine was tint aswell. one of the local tint shops had already done 3 so they charged me next to nothing for my triangles to get tinted. i guess after you figure out how to do them its easy after that. i did 20% on all the backs, the triangles, and my banner. i had to keep it legal though on the driver and passenger side so they are 35%. still looks nice though. yeah there is way to much glass to not have them tinted all the way around.

fitastic82 is an unknown quantity at this point
just tinted my 08 MR sport this past weekend. i got 40% on all the side windows, 35% on the hatch, and a 5" wide 5% band on the top of the front windshield. here in Delaware, they'll bust you hard for tint, and force you to take it off, and the fines add up to alot of money, so i decided on 40% because cops usually don't give ppl with 40% and lighter tint a hard time, but when you start getting into like 35% and darker, then they'll bust your a**!!! even out of staters, if your ever in DE, watch out, cause they're not afraid to pull you al over either. i also dislike the way cars look when the front side windows are lighter then then the back ones, and so i did all the sides 40%, which works well here in the mid-atlantic region. will post a pic or two when i get some uploaded to a free picture hosting site.

It definitely seems pointless to not tint them.
