I like MD. Almost looks like the privacy glass you can get installed by Jaguar in the UK.

I like it! Gives an even better 'luxury' stance to the car.

It works for me, not too dark, nicely understated.

Whoa! Normally, I'm not a fan of the darker tint (although I recognize that it's completely personal choice) - but I LOVE the look of this. ..seriously, it's a beautiful look - you have a first class setup there. I'm still on the fence whether to tint mine. My 'advisors' are 50/50 (those who love cars are more pro). My wife and kids are 100% don't - they think the car is too beautiful to mess with. ...which is exactly why a perfect tint it the perfect complement.

you nailed it - nice!!

thank you for the compliment...we too were skeptical about getting it tinted even going with darker. it did enhance the look of the car and even the guy who tinted it said it totally changed the look of it. have gotten plenty of compliments on the tint.

Looks decent. I think tinted windows are a must, especially if you drive a high end luxury car. I hate when people look at you and can see what you're doing.

I think dark tint kinda sticks out like a sore thumb on lighter colored cars, though. Especially gold. But in this case, it helps mask those blacked out C pillars, which is good.

That's what Ian Callum had in mind when he designed the blacked out C pillars--for the rear glass and pillars to appear as one piece. It just doesn't execute well unless the glass is really tinted.
