Thinking about tint
I'm thinking about getting my rear windows tinted. Dr Tint in Greenfield will do it for $90 and it'* all legal. I'm concerned about not being able to see as well when backing up.

I would recommend doing all windows not just the rear

I used a local guy that has his own business and gets contracted my the glass place he works at plus many other local shops.
I've got the number here.. Cost would be about $200. He refuses to do low quality work and therefore the back window is one piece and the rear deck always comes out for his installs. He used Onyx tint on my car and it'* 35% which coupled with the factory tint puts me barely over legal limits.
The up side... the stuff he uses does not look dark and therefore does not get questioned much. It'* easy to see out of at night etc. I had concerns and he worked with me on them before tinting it.
