I have a 3x black box and had 20% tint and yanked it off. Looked stupid with the windows up and top down on the freeway. It was also scary how close I came to scraping my car getting into the garage at night with the windows up. Couldn't see a thing.

The removal was mandated by the state of Texas though... I could not get a state inspection sticker with it on. Too dark.

Actually, a much lighter tint will reduce a lot of heat and keep you legal and safe. Not as cool looking on a black boxster at night, but it does cut down the heat.

I was also amazed at how much roomier the interior felt without it on. With the top up and windows up, it made me feel a bit claustraphobic.
