I think black cars with dark smoke tints look so sick. Limo Black is a bit much.
But it's up to you bro.

It depends upon where you live.
Here in Florida, with out some window tinting, the A/C system does not have a chance in direct sunlight.
I had my windows tinted about 3 1/2 years ago on my 2008 Fit, and it was the best $164.30 I have ever spent on the car.
I put 30% tint on all windows except the windshield.

Do you brush your teeths in the UK?

Some words don't get plural even if you have more than one. Just a tip.

Oh and yes, get tint on your windows.

^this! Tint is a must in Florida. I personally like the "clean" look of cars without tint, but in Florida, it's a must.

Lol.. Tommy... taking a dump is also a must but it's up to you.
I'm gonna go for this wrap before thinking about tints.
i've been quoted like £150 for a professional tinting company but i have tinted my own windows before for like £30. I did limo black and it was way too harsh..
i think a light smoke or a dark smoke would be nice on ur black car.
