Been thinking about having some light smoke tints fitted to the rear of the car for a while now but can't make my mind up whether it will look right.What's peoples thoughts?

The dot matrix area, Brett?

If so, most likely. Have seen it done and end up with a million bubbles in that area.

Anything other than standard privacy glass looks a bit shit imo. Had it done on my corsa and wouldn't get it done again.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Cars where they have the black banding around on the original window always end up looking crap. Only think factory tinted glass looks decent otherwise.

If I could have proper privacy glass fitted I would because it is much better but that's not possible.

I have tints on my corsa and the silver border where the dot matrix is doesn't really bother me at all because its only on the rear window and I have no issues with bubbles on there either because they were fitted by a very good company.

Should look fine with a light tint.
Mine came with tinted rear and 3/4 windows and it looks ok.
No problem with the dot matrix shit.

This your car?




Can see what I'm talking about pretty clearly tbh, both on rear and side windows.

Not much can be done about that,doesn't look that bad imo its something that i can live with.It also comes down to the installer of the tint & what film is used on how good or bad it looks.
