different color for front and rear windows

[Type 100]

Car dealers overseas usually call that kind of tinting "privacy glass."

If you browse Japanese car websites, the darker rear tint is also noticeably common over there.

Should be no legal issue with it as far as we're concerned.

In the US, most states have strict laws when it comes to tint darkness on the front door windows and the portion above the AS1 line on the windshield. These laws change from state to state.

But for the rear passenger windows, you're pretty much free to use whatever tint darkness you like.

So to answer the TS' question, it's fine to use the lightest tint as much as possible for the front windows. But as for the windshield, it's ideal not to put tint below the AS1 line (The AS1 line is around 3-4 inches from the top of the windshield).

Ideally (for aesthetic/artistic) purposes, window tint should be uniform.

But there are legislation in other countries that prohibit this. And some drivers have limited ability to see through privacy glass so the front windows and windshield have a different shade.

i dont think that it will be corny looking at all but imho i think its better to have that window tint scheme if you're going to ride in the rear seat with your driver handling the wheel. if you want privacy for your kids or passengers then by all means go for it. it wont be corny at all.
