Got my windows tinted today, as a belated birthday gift (to me, from me - turned 26 on Friday).

Went with 20% all around. I’m having trouble getting any decent pictures because it is nighttime, it won’t stop raining, and the car is dirty.

Just over 1,000 miles and 28 MPG average.

Gangsta as fuck. Seriously though window tint is the best thing.

28 MPG is really good for a new car not broken in yet. You might end up averaging over 30 when that happens and I’ll be super jelly. Does yours have the i-ELOOP thing?

Looks great. I have 20% and love it. I would say it's on the verge of being too dark at night but there's no 23% available!

No. :( That is a Grand Touring feature. You can get it if you order a Touring with the tech package, but those are like non-existent since they cost almost the same as a Grand Touring. Mine’s just a Touring with the Sunroof/Bose package - which, oddly enough, includes Blind Spot Monitors.

Hard to make that car better-looking, but you’ve managed it. I love the 6.

My 3 had 18%. Only time the tint was annoying was when I was backing up at night. The backup camera on the 6 helps that now, though.

I don’t know how they’ve made such a mainstream car so pretty. Honestly, I think it’s better looking than 90% of Ferraris or Mustangs.

Omg.

Same here. It's one of the cleanest, prettiest designs I've laid my eyes on. As soon as they released it, I had to have one. I knew it. I love everything about the design.

Right? I was born on a Friday, too. Always thought it was awesome.

I was on a Monday, but I've had a few Friday the 13th birthdays. Always amused me.

Thank you! I’m loving it as well. Definitely glad I worked up the courage to buy this car, haha.

Right? Its little smile is just so perfectly proportioned. It doesn’t look like a simpleton but it’s not too aggressive either. And around back it just gets better. And you can also have it with a tan interior, which for me is one of the most important things in a car. I don’t know why, but I detest black interiors. It just feels uninviting.

How do you like 20%? I’m considering tinting since my car’s like a sauna and it’s getting unbearable (I’ve endured it for 5 years and I’m ready to throw in the towel). How is visibility at night?

It's not bad. Dark enough to look nice and keep the interior cooler (hopefully). But light enough that it's not a pain in the ass to see out of.

Nice. Did you go for the ceramic tint? I hear that has better heat rejection.

Glad I’m not the only one that feels this way with Mazdas current lineup. They’re new design language is really hitting it for me, refined and modern without being crazy aggressive. I love it.

Agreed. Gets ya in all the right places.
