Does look lovely, Rich Java has such a nice 'flip' to it in different light. Bits one of those colours, a bit like black, that only looks fantastic when the car is clean and the sun is shining

Yes I would, I didn't want factory tints as they are too dark imo, so I had a light smoke added by a local company for £130.

I like the dark tints: keeps items hidden from view, looks sharp...
Mind you, I also like our rear view camera: a dark rear window can otherwise make reversing tricky!
We did the factory on, but if you are adding it (which should save you money!) you can chose your colour. Given the car colour, maybe a bronze tint could look good?

I've found factory tints to dark for the autumn and winter months. And a bit to gangsta for my liking, but that's a personal choice. A 35% tint is spot on imo.
