@meph137, I have an inkling we're doing nothing to help you make up your mind here.

Here are some pics I've just taken now. Not sure they'll be any help either; the car's filthy and bright winter sunshine is causing huge reflections, mostly of my beer gut. Still here goes:

Remember these have been taken specifically to emphasise the shadow line. Here's one from a distance that gives the overall effect.

They look pretty good to me to be fair. Obviously would be better without the line but it’s not very noticeable.

The things I’m worrying about more is that you said your car is filthy, I shan’t put a picture of mine up then

How do you mean ?

If a rear passenger opens the window they’d have a blind in the way wouldn’t they? Dogs would be most displeased with this

(I don’t have dogs in the car)

Oh yes how much did you pay and what was the tint etc? There seem to be many types of tint, some block cellphone reception a bit apparently, some are a bit green etc etc

You see through the blind as it's perforated and up front it's clear anyway.

Mobile signal blocking tint? Interesting.
US tints are best, heard.
Choose anything in % level you like. Limo being 0% of VLT (visible light trasmition) to light ones 5,10%. Anything like 90-80% vlt will be hardly noticeable. Best would be 30-Limo vlt, imho.

I think it was about £200, but that was over two years ago. As to what sort of tint it was, I'm not good at remembering stuff like that, but I can have a hunt through my old threads and posts, and can probably find it for you. I've not heard of mobile signals being interrupted.

As to the look only you can decide if you can live with it or not. For me, it isn't a problem; there are bigger things in the world to worry about.

Here is a tint sample

It may be different look on the car just after the tint job, as it needs adhesive to stick on properly and water/solution to evaporate.

Other tint manufacturers may have different percentage levels but it is not that far from each other.
