I'm getting my rear two windows and rear screen tinted at the end of the month when my cousin's available, but I don't know what to do, Limo 85-100% tint or a subtle lighter tinting? These are the current windows
 

 
(I know the second pic is more of the body but it's the best pic of the rear screen I have Razz )

Also, bonnet vent and roof strips I've been thinking about for a while. Should I leave them black, CC them or paint them red to match the front badge and calipers?

 

 

Get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook.

not sure what % it is, but if you could get tints the same as your wind deflectors.

I got my windows tinted as I didn't like silly sun screens in the back quarters and didn't want my kids blinded by the sun. I didnt go for a dark one as it was for use rather than looks and I like them. However limo tints IMO don't suit. Plus I like the fact people can see into the back of my car close up so the ones that are thieving shits can see there is nothing there.

Get a more subtle tint. Maybe dark smoke but not limo black.

Limo black will look too dark I think.

I'll see if he could do a colour match to my deflectors, I've been looking around and tbh limo tints do look far too dark unless the car is black or white

Dark smoke for the window tints and depends if you want the bonnet vent and roof strips to stand out or blend in. I did mine the colour of the car as I think the vents look hideous on the bonnet and almost every car you see these days has black roof strips. I decided to be different.

I got some tint film from Trago. Dark smoke looks similar to the deflectors. Plenty dark enough really.

I cant remember what mine are, but they are dark enough for it to be difficult to see in, but no difference when your in the car looking out.
