 Click image to enlarge I went with the medium, you can not see in-well only shadow-Limo looked to dark for me I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine |

Hi Jim
I had mine done by Pentagon with the dark smoke doesn't make it too dark but makes it hard for prying eyes to see my tools etc in the back of the 110

Thanks guys - the photos really help!
I think maybe 'dark' rather than limo then. I love those Bowler wheels  |

Thanks
So thats 3 for 'Dark' and none for 'Limo'. I've seen the factory windows and I think they are too light for me, They seem to lighter than the privacy windows used in Discos and Range Rovers. |

Personally, given a choice, I would go for the darkest possible option...
However dark it is from the outside, you will still see perfectly well through tinted windows from the inside, although admittedly it maybe through lightly tinted sunshades... 
As an added bonus, the darker tint will provide some protection for young eyes against the dastardly effects of our Sun... 
Unfortunately mine was already fitted, so the choice was denied me...  ...  Rog...

Hi Venomator - When you look through the tint from inside does it look a kind of blueish colour?
Our neighbour has the really dark tint on his estate but when you are in the back and look out thru the window it has a definite blue feel to it. |

Sorry Jim - had to nip out to check...
Not really, I would say almost exactly the same effect as my sunglasses, although it really depends on the shade of tint applied? Dark Smoke, for example, should not give a blue effect as much as a brownish tint... Rog...

Do you have a photo of your truck?
It would be helpful to see the difference in appearance from the outside compared with the 'dark smoke' Defenders above. |

You just wanted to send me downstairs and outside again...
Here are a couple and one trying to show the difference between tinted and not, although it is very bright and sunny out there...

No worries Jim, truth be told I appreciate the exercise...
The inside looking out, I have just noticed, is not that helpful, as the tinted area is also taking in the shade in the garden!... Rog...

I've got 95% limo tint on the rear window of my 90. I'd say it's too dark to put on any passenger windows but it's great to stop people from seeing in.

What was the shade used there Rog?
It looks quite light on your photos - although you seem to have all the sun over there! Its dark and grey over here. |
