Default Window tinting question

I'm thinking of getting the windows tinted on my Insight and I was just wondering if people have experienced poor visibility to the rear after doing this. I just wondered because of the almost horizontal angle of the main rear window if adding tint causes distortion or reduced visibility. Your experiences?

There is a slight distortion on the rear but it's definitely not enough to hinder the view.

The previous owner of my car tinted the windows, and the rear is pretty dark. I don't have a basis for comparison, but I don't have any problems with the view that I'd attribute to the tint.

I would definately recommend tint, expecially if you're in a sunny/hot environment. It makes it easier to keep the car cool, and all but eliminated ultraviolet damage to your interior.
