tinting black should actually darken the bronze and if the black is dark enough you may not even notice the bronze , just take a black peice of paper and hold it behind the window and look at it from the outside just to get an idea of what the tint may look like

Those bronze tinted windows looks good anyway. Adding black tint will make it darker and its not that good for night driving...

I put 2% on the back 3 windows of a suv, it looked real nice and gave it a mirror look from the outside.

If you have the bronze factory tint on the back three I think 40% on the back three and 30% on the two front
