Default Tinting rear window

I've been thinking about getting the xA's windows tinted. I'm debating on whether I should just do the side ones or do the rear also.

I've seen so many really crappy rear window jobs, I'm just a little scared... O.K., I'm very scared.

Who here has tinted the rears and what were your results?

Also, how does the 30% look?

Thanks in advance,
Johncal

I'm also planning on having my windows tinted, but I'm really thinking I might leave the front two windows untinted as I worry about being able to see and also don't want to go quite as dark as my minivan was as I found the back window hard to see out of.

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions too. I want it to look good, but I also want to be able to see when it is dark out...

Here's what 20% looks like:



I have the drivers and passenger sides done as well at 20%. Looks dark on the outside but I can see just fine at night, even without my glasses.

I suggest you ask folks in your area who have decent rear window tint where they had it done at. If the shop screw it up, they better redo that crap.

My rear window is 20% and my sides are 15% and 50%



I used to use my night flip on the rear view all the time at night, but haven't since I got them tinted. The front windows are lighter because front isn't really legal in CA but i think it's still necessary. My tinter recommended getting 15 on the sides and lighten the back a little bit for nighttime
