The rear window is very hard to do correctly.. cause it has a minor curve in the centre and you need to cut out the connectors from the rear heater

It's called limo, it was the darkest I could find at the time. (Well for the price anyway)

I'm really pleased with it dark enough so you can't see in but light enough so you can see out fine.

Recently found out if you heat it on the out side first it helps take the shape of glass, still tricky to get on clean though. I got a couple of ripples but luckly their hidden by the spare tyre.

Hi mate I also tinted mine myself,it was a bit fiddely but not too bad. I bought a roll of LIMO Black off Ebay for £7. Its not the best quality to work with but its done the job to a good standard. I did both driver, passenger :ohmy: and all the rear windows on one roll. After about 2 weeks I removed the two front ones because Im 28 And didnt want to be getting pints for something so stupid like that.lol :unsure:

Yeah blue with dark rear tints will look great.

Also anything over a 10% tint on the front 2 windows is illegal and just draws attention from police to your car. Just not worth it IMO. ;)
