To tint or not to tint?

So, as I said in yesterday's post, I was supposed to take our new (used) car in to have the window tinting removed this morning, but after some people questioned that decision (and had good reasons to do so), Elizabeth and I started to wonder if that was the right decision. We held off on removing the tinting this morning. We're going to consider it for a couple more days.

I NEED YOU to read the rest of this post, which includes the pros and cons of tinted windows, and then VOTE in the poll to the left on my blog. Please leave comments on this post if you need to explain your opinion. We really need your input! (Clicking on the photos should make them bigger.)

First, let me point out that we don't know how much window tinting is legal.
Second, you may not be able to tell from the pictures, but the front two windows have one layer of tinting, and the back seat windows and the rear window have at least two layers -- they're very dark.

Arguments for Keeping the Tint
Keeping tinting on the windows helps guard against bright sun (of which there is a LOT in Colorado) which can cause the interior leather to fade.
It also keeps the interior of the car cooler in the summer so you don't burn your but when you sit on the hot leather.
As my brother pointed out, little kids in car seats in the back seat are protected from the heat and the brightness of the sun if the tint stays.
Others???

Arguments for getting rid of the tint
Tinted windows lower driver and passenger visibility. I think this is especially true in terms of looking in the rear-view mirror out the rear window. It's quite a bit harder to see, especially at night (all you can see are headlights of cars behind you... nothing else).
We're not crazy about how it looks.
It's not uncommon, in heavy traffic places like Denver, for it to be convenient if not necessary for other drivers to be able to see me when I'm driving (motioning to let a driver merge in ahead of you, or other similar instances). Having tint on the driver and front passenger windows makes it hard for other drivers to see me.
Others???

Other things to consider:
Our Camry has a nifty little feature. It has a black mesh screen that can be pulled up like a curtain from the inside on the rear window. It's somewhat transparent (so you can have it up while driving), but it would also provide some of the benefits of having the rear window tinted: It would shade the back seat some and keep it cooler.
Also, we could easily get one of those shades that you can buy that stretch across the car's front windshield in order to keep the car shaded and cooler inside. Those two items contribute a little bit to the "arguments for removing the tint," I guess.
This is our only shot to have anything done with the tint at no cost to us. When we bought the car we made the dealer promise to pay to have the tint removed. We need to get this done in the next few days (so please respond by Friday morning). If we decide NOT to have it removed, and then we later decide we want it removed, we'd have to pay for it. If we decide to remove it now, and then change our minds later, we'd have to pay for it. Anywho...

Our first step, then, is to make sure that the current tinting is legal. If it is, here are our options:

1. Remove all the tinting.
2. Remove tinting from the two front windows, but leave it on the back two and the rear window (this would look especially silly, in my opinion -- which is why this isn't an option in the poll to the left).
3. We're told that it should be possible to remove one of the layers of tinting in the back windows so that they're not quite so dark and so they match the front windows, so that's an option.
4. Leave all the tinting exactly how it is.
5. Other options we haven't thought of?

PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL AND EXPLAIN/SHARE YOUR OPINIONS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!!!! Thank you for your help in our decision-making.
