I keep the tint in the rear window lighter because with 7% stuff you can't see behind you very well when backing up, and you also can't see if there is a...cop or something back there that shouldn't be there. Don't think that you can't "see" things back there, its just darker and makes it more difficult to identify a cop and a crown vic with grandpa driving it. (shotgun in the window but its dark in the vic's and dark tint I can't see shotgun or interior light bar)
I don't even notice the dark tint anymore. I really don't have a problem seeing out of it at night. I guess I'm just used to it after 3 years. I wouldn't recomend getting it that dark if you are worried though. It can be unsafe if you aren't careful. Just get what you are comfortable with.

i mean the defroster works fine, its just at night with the headlights behind you, the headlights kinda reflect with the lines of the defroster...making it like:

o o -o- -o-

normal through tint

is this what ur askin for.
teal teg with tint



20% sides, 15% back window.
If I were to redo it again, id do 10% back window.

Takes about 2 days of driving with tint to get used to it.
At nighttime, it honestly doesnt matter as much since the only thing u see at night is people's headlights anyways and basic shapes.

And since the back window is tinted, it helps cut down on glare at nighttime so much that I almost feel like its better having tint so it will be darker inside my car, which makes it easier to see out sometimes.

too those of you that say the tint will reduce interior heat, you've left out one exception......A BLACK CAR!!!!!!!!

it doesn't matter if you have limo tint all around on a black car. it will be goddamn ****ing hot no matter what during the summer.

and about the rear defroster, the tint won't mess with it, unless there was previously tint on the car, and it was carelessly taken off (in my case, only about half of the defroster works now, thanks to the stupid ass previous owner)

my buddy has limo tint on his black 2001 civic and its helped his car be WAY cooler than it was before. It blocks out so much heat from coming in compared to before.
