Mine came tinted and I like it. It's not too dark, but dark enough to give me a little "privacy". To each their own though. If you are on the fence, spend the money on paint protection film. I added that to mine since I wanted to avoid adding to the rock chips it already has.

you can do both. Have fishbowl, but still have the heat rejection of tint. 3M makes a 90% tint in their crystalline line. you could probably even sneak some on the windshield🤫

I recently pulled the trigger on an AZA wheel for my C6 Corvette and it’s easily the best mod I’ve done. It’s pricey but for the build quality and being able to custom order it exactly they way you want is worth every penny. They do great work. Plus, it is the thing you interact with the most in the car, so worth it lol.

for the headlights you can open them up and clean the inside lens both sides, usually they get like a white powder from the bulbs over time and get that foggy look and don't output as well. plus new phillips hid bulbs or led conversion

He needs to go back to stock. You can't put HID or LED lights in a halogen reflector. You blind other drivers and uselessly spray light everywhere. Its truly retarded, and he even explained how he can't see anything at night. That's because some retarded loser tried to put the wrong light source in the wrong reflector/housing. Porsche knows what they're doing, the headlights need to go back to stock.

With regard to the tint I would recommend just getting the rear hatch and quarters tinted in a privacy tint. Leave the front as is. Why have a great looking car and hide yourself behind a tinted window? Be loud and proud! 😊

Tint for sure but use a quality ceramic tint. If you don’t want it to be dark you can do a 50% tint everywhere and still get great heat and uv rejection from ceramic film.

996 Doesn't have a centering mark for the wheel? My 987.2 and 981 both do. Tint removal trick I saw was heating it from the outside. Tint guy removed the whole back window tint by putting it in the sun and covering it with black plastic. This is Florida so YMMV in the Northern climate lol I would leave it un-tinted or the lightest available just for the UV protection.

The 996 in general needs a new interior, yours needs the seats refinished or replaced, and everything else needs to be covered in alcantara or leather... good job, I used to work on my Pcar but it becomes an obsessions so I got a Jeep that I can trash instead, life is good.
