It gives off that reflective privacy look, like the on the S class. The rear is dark enough and from far at some angles you can still see thru them from outside. The UV protection is great, car feels cooler parked at the parking lot for hours. From the interior you can see out both front and rear like it was lightly tinted, look at the difference compared from the front windshield. Overall worth the $300 investment and its perfect for tough tint laws, and no troubles from the police.
