Caldo Bollente · 04-03-2008

Tints are rated in VLT (visible light transmission) for the amount of light they let through, so the lower the percentage the darker. Legally it's 70% for the front doors and they could already be close to that from factory, not an issue really unless they are blatantly too dark.

Prefer the uniform look, though I think a light smoke (40-50%) on the front doors and dark smoke (20%) on the rest would look particularly good on a SW.

I have 50% on the front and back with 35% on the hatch. You'd struggle to tell they have been tinted, give more of a reflective quality making them harder to see into and just enough to reduce glare from inside. In retrospect would have gone for 35% all round.
