IMHO the only car tinting looks good on is a tourer, other than that it looks a little too boy racer. But if you've got things to cover up then go for it, just don't go for anything too dark in the rear.

I had my legnum tinted and it was 260.00 for light smoke all round (5 windows in principle) from a mobile guy who did an absolute first class job.

Cheers!

dont do it!!!!!!!!

if u want to tint them do a very light smoke.

if the interior is light coloured the tints will turn out da lighter shade but if u hAve a dark interior the tints will look drker.

dont do it, just get a rer blind and just that will transform the look of the car. winkeye

you can still tint the pass n drivers side window oin aprox 70%.. ( 70% of the light still comming in ) .. but yeah i think as long as its not too dark it adds some class to the car..

I was thinking of tinting the windows of my E38... but then I've got rear and side blinds in it, so when they're up it looks tinted anyway...

Hmmm... I say go for it, but not too dark as it looks a little bit Chav if they're black!
