    im not sure about the front windows round my area the old bill pull u and tell u to remove all the front tints if you are caught with them, they have neva said anything about the rear ones, but in reality they cant otherwise they would be pulling over box vans all the time because u cant saee out the back

    Cars look stupid with just the rear windows done. Gives a very cheap look. Light tints all round or don't bother IMHO.

    if those are the only choices then go for dark smoke back and light smoke front.

    after having only dark smoke on the back and nothing on the front i can tell you it looks rather pants, better off doing it all in light smoke

    Agree with that, I like the faded look. As long as the front aint too dark.
    Scandalous doesn't do signatures...

    But if he did, they would probably be the best signatues in the world
