Window Tints

lo all,

Having my rear tints done on Sunday, is it best to have 20% light in through the rears?

What do people have? I thought about having limo for the rear window and rear quarters and having 20% on the rear doors.

Any thoughts?

In the past went for dark/black film tint but it makes the orange elements stand out and if not done perfect shows imperfections Sad

Last time went for lighter/grey tint and it still gave privacy but looked better IMHO Thumbs Up Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I went with blackout in the rear and 15% fronts. Just about legal when you add factory tint. Had one peak over eyes traffic officer question it but he wanted to check it at night and VOSA quite explicit that it must be tested in daylight Whistle
