I think legally they have to allow 35% of light through on the fronts.
It may cause you problems with  getting stopped by the police and  for looking too gangsta!!!

I had tints on my old GTI and decided to go for removable blinds this time around - same effect as limo/dark tints from the outside but not as permanent
