Not much chrome in my interior, I painted my trim all black the only thing thats going to be impressive is the brushed stainless steel dash.

Somethings just do not look right. I cant put my finger on why. It just seems to be one of those unwritten rules.

you don't think some tint would look good? i am going with black deep dish rims with the lip being chromed. i think some dark tint would compliment the rims.

I say no...keep it clear. But if you really want to darken it a bit, I say do a light tint as john said, but definitely not dark at all. Like everyone else said, you want to show off the classic interior!!

The stock windows i have are tinted a green, its a very light tint. i heard once they are in the car i won't even notice the tint. i was thinking of a 20% tint or a little darker.
Edit: i just looked at old pictures of the interior and one of my door windows is completely clear and the abck window is tinted the light green and you can't see the green tint unless you look at the clear window first.
I bought a tinted green window to replace the clear one so all the windows match correctly.

i say tint it dark i like it. especially your color combo and wheel choice. if you want people to look at your interior roll down your windows.

i say tint!!! its not like you will be driving around much with your windows rolled up. At car shows the windows will be down, so everyone can see ur puurrty interior. I wouldnt go 5% but some tint against that red would look clean.

No...doesn't look clean on the old schools. If you must, 35% or lighter.

I think a light tint job on that car would be perfect! Do it!!! You can always remove it if you don't like it.
