Am i right in saying that you can have any darkness on the rear windscreen and rear side windows? Can anythign actually be seen from those windows at all? Gona be doing a lot of motorway driving in september, and itd be nice to be able to see things from the rear window aswell.
cheers.


I have 35% tints at the front, and at night its fine. Its almost like they aint there, just maybe a tad dark.

I have 20% round the rear, and at night it can be slightly awkward. Usually its good to be honest, coz i use my side mirrors alot more than my rear view.

However, depending on the amount of night time drivin u do, i'd say go with the 35% all round. Still looks good. However, the 20%s on the back look better :D.

Rule out Limo, coz from wot i've seen it looks too tacky, and visability is always a problem. My mate had them in his Civic, and had to start usin his dad's car when he went out at night coz it was just tooooo dark.

legal limit for fromt windows is 70% of light getting in. And 80% from the front screen.

At the back u can have as dark as ya like.
