    That will be illegal so I vote not to tint them.

    No. Really dark tints look sh*t on nearly every car. It would indeed look like a van. I vote leave them or get a very light tint.

    aslong as it lets 70% light through so would have to be a very light tint, mine only let 23% through.

    Depends on how much the manufacturer tints the glass in the first place.

    That's because it is 70%, but most manufacturers tint the windows and light smoke tint will put it over this level.

    its a no for me. dont like tints on black cars in any form. and only like tints on all windows if its the right colour car like yellow. looks silly on just 3 windows IMO.
