I paid £150 for tints from the B pillar back (rear doors & 3 boot windows) all within the law. Fitted by Pepe of Cappucino tints in Yorkshire.
Will definately use him again when I change my car.

So the picture on the window tinters website of a tinted skyline is illegal to be used on the road.

I decided on medium then added the sunblinds to the boot area so that should my dog or anything else decide to try & scratch the glass they are protected. Also aids security as I don't really need my parcel shelf in anymore.

Yeah. Be very careful of window tinting. Don't fall foul of the law.
Get it done professionally, and then you can fall back on their guarantee. Looking 'cool' is one thing....but staying legal is more important. I can tell you that down here in what is usually sunny Devon and Cornwall during the summer months the police regularly blitz a number of such cars and if the tinting isn't right (ie, is too dark), and they have a device to check it, you would be required to remove it at the roadside there and then. They have a very tough view towards it, and unless it's done properly, it could be an expensive day out. There's a big difference between factory produced cars that have some measure of it as standard, and the tinting that is added as an aftermarket accessory.
