Should I bother to get my rear windows tinted? And what would it cost - I wouldn't do the fronts as I hear the ol' Bill are clamping down and Tints at the front make it impossible to see out at night (been there, done that)....

imho i dont think cars look right with just the backs done. Look nice with all round tints, but they are impractical and so, not really worth the hassle from th eold bill. :)

I like the half tint look :yes: As long as its not too dark. I am thinking of getting mine done, It will cost about £250. My little girl hates the sun in her eyes so good reason to get it done for me. Not sure if its worth £250 though?

£250 :scary: I got light smoke all round and sun strip done for £150.

The tint % did not affect the price either. Black limo all round would also have been £150.

For rears only I wouldn't pay more than £110. £30-£40 per window is the going rate.

30-40 per window isn't the going rate. I was also quoted in the region of 250 quid from several dealers for my whole car to be done.

I like the idea of tints at the back, but would rather spend my money on something else :)
