true but i believe you drive up front so you'll be looking out the front windows. therefore they will see you.

they are to reduce glare supposedly and less heat coming in when it's sunny. also a security prevention..(see nothing) and when glass is smashed it's still hard.

has anyone got any pics of their cars with only slighlty tinted windows?
I want to get them done, but I don't want to look like a drug dealer!
I'd still have the rear one's slightly darker than the front.
What price would I be looking at?

I thought the tossers are attracted to Scoobys anyway, regardless of the window tints.

My Jap WRX had window tints on the rear window and the back side windows (no doors as it's a 2 door). Just imported my car to NZ, the land of high UV rays (no ozone), and the land of nice sunny days. What's the first thing they do. Rip of my tints as thay say it's too dark for the road. Can't be for safety reasons, as NZ drivers have got to be the worst I've seen.

I'll get tints again, but I'll have to do all windows excluding the windsreen. At least the car will look 'balanced' plus I can perve once again !!
