Hi Folks,
The tinted pic looks relly good..however, will it affect visibility at night at all? I know darker tint with minimum visible light transmission of up to 25% looks so gooood !!
But I have been a passenger of once such ride late one night and i swear I can't see nothing seating upfront !!
Or maybe it's just me. Care to comment ?
Cheers,

My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.
Like it a lot 
Unforunately it is forbidden to have the front windows tinted here in the Netherlands and
Belgium. Don't know what the law is in Germany.
So tinting only the back will produce to much contrast IMO with the front.

25% light transmittance is fine you wont really notice a difference its when you go below 20%.
I have 22% running all around in my MINI and its absolutely fine... I can see through it at night w/out problems.
But on the E60 its 17% a little darker than I wanted and yes I do notice a difference its darker.
A lot of people get 5% limo for their rear windshield and like 20% (dark) for their rear windows so ask your friend if thats what they got that might be why u cant see...
25% all around would be ok, a little darker but cant tell too much.
