whilst i agree with most negative points about tints here...
They're dangerous.
i have to disagree with this one.
i'm (temporarily) driving about in a mk4 golf just now with limo black rear tints and light front tints
- yes they are horrible looking
- they attract a certain demographic
- no doubt the car attracts more attention from police as well
however the difference in visibility is marginal. it took me over a week to even notice that the fronts were tinted, and it was only when i put the window down and saw where the film started.
in my opinion they are illegal not from a safety point of view (this may be an excuse by police) but rather so they can monitor the road users - stop folk gabbing on phones/smoking joints when driving etc etc
if it wasn't for the fact i am selling it in a few weeks i'd have them off. simply can't be bothered.
