My golf has the Rear glass tinted from the factory & iv tinted over that glass using the darkest limo tint.

It is a bit dark at night but still can see out perfectly fine...  :smiley:

going too dark can sometimes spoil the overall look.

i asked a policeman as my rear 3 are blacked out. as long as your windscreen isn't, There is a limit for your front windows, they have a little gun thing that reads the % of light being let through.
