   Tints look good as long as they match all round looking like a van is a proper fail

   Yea, it can look pretty gay... But I need to be legal lol I've had my saxo 2 years and haven't been pulled yet!
   
   I just think that a light smoke all round isn't gunna be dark enough on the back tho... Hmmmm decisions decisions grrrrr

   I wouldent over do it on the rear windows as it can be quite hard to see sometimes.

   Im getting my car done legal all round, its surprising once all the windows are tinted just how dark a light tint looks..

   I used to do window tinting for a job and for a silver saxo i'd definitely say go fairly dark on the back, not limo black but quite dark, and get it smoked on the front, you might not notice the difference but other people will
