Mine had the windows tinted when I got it (used). I am thinking of tinting the roof glass. the glare is a bit rough.

I think 15% is not really legal in most states, but it doesn't usually draw the police either. When I purchased my Mini, the tint was so dark, I had to roll the side windows down to see the mirrors at night. When the new tint guy removed it, he said I had 5% double thickness on there. Maybe thats why it was so dark. With 15% I can see fine most times at night and car looks good and blacked out, just not as blacked out as it was when I bought it. Its a black Mini with black roof, so the really dark tint looked awesome but just wasn't practical...
