No! Infact I removed the rear tinted windows - well I acutally replaced them with P1 windows with a much lighter tint. But there again black rear windows on a black car doesn't look good anyway, you may just get away with it - but not too dark.

I think they look okay depending on car. Not too dark that you look like you're in the hood. They suit the scoobs with the back 3/4 done.

I have always had tints of all my cars, I have a light one so in the day its transparent and at night it appears darker.
IMO it makes it harder for people to see into the car when its parked to see if anything worth nicking is in there.
Stops the car baking when you park it up.
Stop 'orrible men perving at my Mrs, its upsets her when this happens.
Makes you look cool.

Cheese and tacky if anything but a very light tint.

Tints put me off a number of cars when I was buying.

Got medium on mine all round, gives the car a bit more privacy when driving. Don't get limo tints, had on my Clio all round and was a nightmare in every aspect

I had the rears done medium on my 03 wrx and I think it is good which is all that counts. I wouldn't have the front side windows done though looks a bit tacky and may bring the wrong type of attention. It was in the local paper last week and is something they are clamping down on.
