I went for 15% in the rear side windows and 30% ( darker ) on the rear windscreen.
Why ?.
Well I had my Gen1 model done from the “A” pillar back in the darker 30% which did a great job, but because the Gen1 had NO tint at all, when you looked at the car side on, the difference between the front side glass and rear side glass was extremely noticeable.
When it was raining ? it looked even more noticeable.
The new face lift has a very slight “tint” on delivery.
I wanted the tint to be more graduated on its side profile this time and therefore less severe.
The local tint guy I used, has been tinting windows for almost 20 years now.
He recommended I went for 30% but said that it WILL look more natural with a gradual tint increase, when looking at the car from the side view.
I trusted my gut reaction and went for 15% on the side glass and 30% on the rear screen.
I was really pleased with the result !.
The slow graduation looks brilliant.
If you go very dark on the rear side windows, especially on the Gen1 version, with glass being totally clear, it can give the visual impression of a “Cut & Shut” from the side profile ?.
My tint guy refuses to tint side glass from the “A” post forward.
Presume you mean B post ? as the only thing forward of the A post is the windscreen ?
