I’d stick with the standard 65% tints.

Do the 90% tints impede rearward vision in certain conditions when using the rear view mirror or when reversing?

Nope, but then again I’ve removed my rear wiper. I can rely on the side mirrors just fine :whistle:

The reverse camera was a must have for me and it’s turned out to be so handy to have.

In certain lights, 65% tint looks much darker...

I do miss my Indium as Tungsten is great but doesn't that look much different whether really clean, clean or just a bit dirty!
