Tint. Keeps you cooler, and makes the car look cooler too.
But that still wont cost 280...so you can save up the remainder and put it towards your next big buy.

shocked you didn't get pulled yet for your tint. I got pulled over by nanticoke's HS, then 2 more times later that week. Never had a problem with any of my cars until then.

hahaha yeah mine is pretty illegal... heck, any tint is illegal 70%= NO TINT... yet i have 18% rear 50% front and a 15% visor. if i ever do get pulled over i'm just going to pay the fine, then i am going to try to get my registration changed over to truck. You can't hassle a truck for having tint and my car is practically a van station wagon anyway what if all i did was haul cargo? Look at the PT cruisers, chevy hhrs... they have dark factory privacy glass. i don't mind paying an extra $20 for registration every year if that means i can have tint

and yeah don't jinx me...

Do the tint. 35-20 looks real nice, or even 20% all around.
