November 12, 201312 yr Thinking about having my windows tinted on my wagon ( back 5) in a dark smoke - Any thoughts ?
November 12, 201312 yr reversing without parking sensors becomes a bit more cautious but it will certainly go with how the car looks already
November 12, 201312 yr Author My daily has parking sensors and when I get in this or wife's car u realise how much you use them !!
November 12, 201312 yr mine doesnt and not having had tinted windows before I was surprised how much more space I was leaving behind the car
November 12, 201312 yr Author I had a omega years ago with limo black tints all round that was hard to park
November 12, 201312 yr I have mine done I have had them done on all my car's apart from my very 1st car. So would say yes get it done also :D Only time I have had real problems with reversing is when it's really dark it does block the reverse light out that it gives very little light.
November 12, 201312 yr my ra is dark tint all round and as its a light weight with the thin windows and the fact my front side windows are not factory tinted then it looks real good tho like is being said . reveseing becomes a truckers job ( using mirrors only )
November 12, 201312 yr Author not a small car that, plenty of room to get up to all sorts behind limo tints No comment lol 80 quid and will do it Sunday , just waiting for him to confirm
November 12, 201312 yr No comment lol 80 quid and will do it Sunday , just waiting for him to confirm that's cheep mate, do it. i got my classic done when i 1st got her looks 100 times better, ive also got a saloon with limo tint in the back ( but its a tad dark i think especially in this weather
November 12, 201312 yr No comment lol 80 quid and will do it Sunday , just waiting for him to confirm i'm gonna get my wagon done soon best price i found was £110
November 12, 201312 yr Mines limo on back and naughty tints on the front :D but never been pulled over so I guess the copper's around my area are not bad for stuff like that.
November 12, 201312 yr Author i'm gonna get my wagon done soon best price i found was £110 this is a local guy, doing a group discount as its a sunday and its a friend of a friend if that makes sense?
November 12, 201312 yr I have low tints on my GT-B on all side windows and the tailgate. Still looks good from the outside but its not silly dark so doesn't attract the attention of the law.
November 12, 201312 yr I have low tints on my GT-B on all side windows and the tailgate. Still looks good from the outside but its not silly dark so doesn't attract the attention of the law. Tints are on my list of mods that want doing to my car, Adam the tints you have are exactly how would have mine thumbs up looks great ( also gives me an idea as to what they would look like on mine as colour of you car is similar to mine ) :)
November 13, 201312 yr Mine is the legal limit on the fronts and I think it's 70% round the back. This was particularly difficult to reverse at night until I replaced my reverse bulbs with Cree bulbs. This makes life so much easier. :)
November 13, 201312 yr Oh yeah, I also have a reversing camera. That helps with precision manoeuvres. :)
November 13, 201312 yr i was just going to suggest upgrading the reverse lights as that will illuminate more behind the car, mines a classic wagon tited on the back windows, it's dark not sure what grade though, was the same all round when i got it, removed the fronts on the advise of a policeman friend, well he just laughed when i asked him to check them with a meter most aftermarket tints on the fronts are illegal despite what grade film you use, if you use a 30% tint that's most likely illegal, i was told that the majority of factory glass is tinted as standard and usually 20% +, this combined with a 20% film puts you over the edge straight away and most customers see a 5/10% tint before fitted and opt out of doing the fronts so not many tinting firms use it anymore they just tint to the customers requirements with advice on legality
November 14, 201312 yr I put in a cree led reversing light to help on mine - it improves things a bit but bottom line in the dark without sensors I adopt van sty-lee or hang out the door

Will get a better bulb see if it helps any. Cheers for the tip :D
