Tinting Windows on 964
Wanted to know what your opinions are on tinting all the window's on my 964. (It is legal here)
It would be a reasonable shade (20%)...Do you think it will take away from the classic features of our cars.... I do drive it more frequently in the summer and it is very hot in Georgia. Trying to keep the interior as perfect as possible... Plus I think it looks really nice...
Thoughts.....

All of my previous cars have been tinted as I do notice a big difference in winter and like the look. For the most part though on my 964 I like the classic look without tint (but I haven't been through a summer with it yet).

It would look real nice on my g/p white though...

just did mine - no problems at all - looks much better. Here in Australia, 35% is the lowest you can go. I just bought a roll of the tint (as doing the wife, daughter and son's car too !!). Stuffed up the first couple of goes, but it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Plenty of youtube videos that are very good to show you how. Or of course, you can just shell out and pay some dude to do it ! Either way, it is WELL worth it - and if you're a purist, you can soon rip it off again if you ever want to sell. What I call a 'reversible' modification

yes, I pondered this too - but as it is a reversible thing... i didn't consider it a problem. I guess it really comes down to how much you are driving it (kind of like having the a/c working... if you don't drive it much - who cares)

When i bought mine, it was equipped with tinted windows..
pimped it out, imho
It caused an unexplainable desire: buy a purple hat, equipped with long feathers.......

mine came with a horrible tint job, so i need to have that removed. Being in texas, i would like to have some sort of heat protection, so I'm thinking of going with one of the almost clear films that has great heat rejection. I believe v-kool has a product like this.

I did mine with limo 5% on rear windows and 15% on side windows. Best thing I did to protect interior from heat. Some days I felt like I was getting burned just sittin down and quite frankly the air con in these cars isn't the best or quickest

do the lightest shade possible.
if you must have it, do it.
My 993 came with full tint... i removed all of it myself. pain in the ***.... but didnt hurt resale

Mine were tinted from PO(you can see it in my avatar) and it really helped with keeping the car cool in the summer. I think it looked good! You can always have it removed, but I think you'll be pleased.

Done mine last summer, just the rear and quarters, to keep the ca8in cooler,
there are different qualities and shades, I went for top a quality and almost the darker shade, it looks good
the only downside is you see less at night in the rear miror , parking at night may also 8e more tricky, when they fit it to the rear glass, the corners were quite difficult, mines are not perfect, 8ut I don't mind....
I will try and take pictures tomorow

Here is mine. I think it was around 30%..Plenty dark enough for comfort, visibility and minimal attention from the Po Po……beyond it being a red Porsche!
