Had mine done on Sunday as far as I'm aware you can go as dark as you want on the rear windows but on the front you have to allow 75% of light through, bloke who tinted mine said my front windows had a slight green tint in that's already the legal limit and can't go anymore as they will just get ripped out by police if caught

Well worth while mod completely transformed the car

Make sure wherever your going is good at it, a real pro will do the back window perfectly using one piece of tint, also make sure there using good quality tint as the cheaper stuff fades over time. As a guide my back window cost £50. I did the sides myself but think they would of been £70-80 for the guy to do them.

I was quoted £130 for rear but me and my mate had it done together so he knocked £20 off thought £110 was a fair price lifetime guarantee aswell

£130 just for the rear window? Or is that the rear doors as well?

Yeah good price then, I also got a sunstrip done in the tint. I only did the sides myself as I new they would be simple to do without them having frames?

I used limo tint my AX GT back & rear side windows. Cut down glare at night from headlights and from sun in summer. Only trouble I had was reversing at night in not well lit areas.
