The negatives are that if the front tints are too dark then your car is illegal and you could get pulled.

As your glass already has a light tint, even the addition of a low %age tint will take them over the limit.

I would think that getting the spray even would be VERY hard, I think the spray is for rear lights and small areas rather than fall windows.

I have film tints on my sti-prodrive and they look superb as the entire car is black (apart from the gold wheels). I also told my insurance company too - keep it all above board. Can you guarantee thickness with the spray and hence keep the tint legal? My insurance company will insure up to a 30% tint.

They might insure upto 30%, but as most windows come with some tint on already be careful adding additional tint. To be safe and not attract any unwanted attention I would personally not have the front windows done, or get it measured with a similar device that VOSA use when inspecting them at roadside checks etc...

This should tell you enough about the legalities
