Default problems with too dark of tint

Does anyone with the darkest tint ever have visibility problems at night that make you think you shouldnt have gone so dark?

Depends in how youve got your car tinted. My back window is limo tint and so are the 1/4's, but my drivers and passenger window are only 35%. Backing up at night sux, cant see a damn thing, other than that I have no problems.

I have to admit, I don't understand why folks tint their windows. I understand the actual sunlight /heat reasons, but still. When I drive a bitchin' car, I WANT to be seen, especially by the ladies.

You can put the windows down to be seen. Tint just completes the overall look of the car.

I agree in that tint completes the look of the car...from the front mirrors back my car is as dark as it gets...ya its a bitch at night but it just looks soooo badass.

I have 15% tint all the way around, and I have no problems... Makes me wish I went darker.
