Default Question on tinting

I am tinking about getting my windows tinted by a place down here in GA while im here.

I guess i wouldnt see much benifit unless i got the widows in the doors, the little side windows and the back window tinted.....

I have heard some stories about the back window being hard to tint? Anyone have any advice on that? Also How dark should i go? I dont really want to go to much darke than legal, but what im really worried about it loss of visiblity at night time.

Never had a car with tint, but this car gets soo hot!!!

Thanks for the advice!

I have the 30% tint all around and don't have a issue with nighttime driving. I do get a reflection from the small back window from the lane markers. Have fun, RIck

Rick,
My windows were tinted by the previous owners. They had all but the small rear window tinted (I guess because it already had some tint). I had the same reflections you are talking about and they were driving me crazy. The lines would reflect up thru the small window and off of the large one. My solution was to go and have the small window tinted as dark as they had (Limo, I think, but he even offered to do solid, black vinyl!). The way my mirror is adjusted, I don't ever see out the lower window anyway and the reflections are gone!
