   youll need to leave the front un tinted. the fuzz seem tobe ok about the windows behind the center post being tinted (well up here anyway). just do it yourself and save sum £££ its easy enough if you take your time.

   wouldnt bother, ive had mine done and ripped them out within a month, was sick of the hassle from cops and tbh looks so much better without them
   
   tints say your hiding something to thieves too, aswell as that you cant tint the front windows so your car would look like a van wih the back 3 done, just a waste of money imo

   I wouldnt bother with them matey, they just cause too much hassle, if anything get a very (i emphasise the word, very) light smoke all around

   m8 its totally worth it. i tinted my windows last year with dark smoke all round, had 2 get a professional 2 do rear tho as it needs to be heatshrunk. only got pulled once but changed my front 2 to light smoke last weekend and it really sets the car off. if you want to avoid the "van look" dont have the tint shade 2 different. dark smoke on rear 3 and light on the front is the way.
