I'm not a fan of uneven side tints. So I would take take all the windows off and leave the hatch.

Just for clarity, in IL it is illegal to have tint on the front windows. I chose too get mine tinted, but its only 35% and I'm in Missouri for school 11 months of the year.

imo it looks tacky if you have dark tint in the back then all the sudden no tint in the front.
i used to just roll around with my windows down. rain or shine, even in the winter. lol

So what's the point in having the fronts tinted if they're never up to block sunlight? Sounds like a waste of money to me.

isnt that illegal?
like if you were parked somewhere and a cop was waiting for you to leave cuz he saw your tints and he pulls u over as soon as you leave even if u roll the wondows down...?

i thought there was some legality issues there. but these days the law is so fuzzy who the hell knows.
