I had mine tinted but I had to take them off. It was only 35% all around and I had them on for ~ 2 years when a cop decides to pull me over and I had to take them off. I think the s2's windows are already factory tinted.

At night rearward visibility is poor at the best of times, its illegal to tint the fronts most places, and if its sunny and warm the top and windows are probably going to be down. Not worth it IMO.

Because with the top down, it's pointless to have tint

Most times on the freeway with the top down are windy enough that I put up the windows. It still gives me the open air feeling without as much sidewind gusts trying to take my hat or sunglasses off. Clear windows seem like they are not there. Tinted windows might stand out like walls with the top down and the windows up.

Tinted would look good with the top up since the convertable material is black.

I don't have the cash right now, it's low on my priorities.
