Good afternoon all I am looking at getting the windows tinted on my Range Rover its Java black with parchment leather what tint leval do you think would suit it I don't want to go total limo black was there a standard tint offered by Land Rover when they were new of should I go light / medium as I have a gun dog and I am getting a cage for him but then the load cover won't fit so was thinking of some thing not to Chav looking just to keep eyes out

Most "tinters " have samples on board so I would look around at prices then when your ready to commit try samples on the glass, this is what I did on one car. Many thanks

My Java black has black as per the Gold one in the fullfatrr.com banner.
Came with the car, surprised how it does not restrict the view out, but as they call me in the workplace car park "The Drug Mobile" is here.
Would not change it though.
Oh and would keep the dog cool.

Factory tints are limo black... So if you want it to look factory? Theres only one choice

I tinted a Landcruiser with limo black in the back, medium in the rear passenger area and light tint on the front.... net result you couldn't see what was in the boot but you could see out of the windows... if your getting it tinted you don't have to have the same level throughout the car, just the same colour  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

I did that on my last one too - went darkest at the back then a shade lighter for the rear doors and a very light tint on the front doors.

Front doors shouldn't have any on, but looked much better.

Must just be me that thinks tints (ak privacy glass!) just makes it look like a van then.

my FF has the factory tints and they are pretty dark tbh, Limo would be the way to go i suspect. My old fattie had aftermarket ones on and imho they don't look as good as you can see the heater elements and radio antenna after they are applied. But if its for security rather than appearance then go for it. :thumbs:

I also have tints on the Disco, but as it is a commercial it has the rear panels behind the glass, I have see youths looking in to see what they can see through the side windows, only to find they can only see black........  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

No - there's plenty others with poor taste, not just you

I believe that the no front window rule came in in 2004, so if it was done straight out of the showroom you'd more than likely get away with it..... obviously if the car was a 2005 then you'd have to leave the front windows alone As far as the 3 stage tint goes, I recon that it makes the car look better than one that just has limo on the rear and clear fronts.... from the inside the car does get darker towards the rear, but so much that you feel that you are sitting in a box, and it is a very good solution if you want to obscure what is in the back without covering it. Outside you can see the driver and so it doesn't appear all that gangster in appearance and from a distance you don't really notice that the windows get darker towards the rear.... it's a bit of an illusion, a rear content disappearing act  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Mine has the factory and they are quite dark from outside but surprisingly transparent from inside. I think mine are factory

Great choice , black with tints , you are a stylish man and I would imagine a humanitarian to boot  2015 4.4 AB

i went medium on my td6, looked just right...

Its the solar reflective/mirrored ones that cause the problems Stan, as they have metal in them...

there are also dark tints that have metal particles integrated.not sure if that type is still used nowadays but its worth mentioning... ... - .- -.
