    Mine came tinted but I do like it, it's not limo tint but a shade or two back and you can use your phone without being caught from police behind (not that I do that).

    I wouldn't tint personally.

    Some cars don't need it, yours is one of them!

    I've never been a fan of tinted windows but I really like them in my v70. My mrs loves them as she can be as nosey as she likes without getting busted. Lol
    I wouldn't say mine are to dark but cleverly done & faded from the rear to the front.
    Touch wood I'm yet to get tugged for them.

    Ok not connected with the tinting, but I have to say that car is volvo porn to the max!

    I'd go tints I find less reflections at night and cooler when you get in during summer
