Default No pics, but yeah, it's tinted...

No reason not to tint the back. If you're worried about defroster lines, you'll be fine.

Can you tint the back in a roadster? Anyone have average cost to tint a roadster?

AM is the most sensitive.

Default About $100-$120 here, non-metalic. But why?

If you are going for the look , fine. But given the small window area og the roadsTTer it is hardly worthwhile for protection from the summer sun. Furthermore, local tests here have shown that a tinted car gets hot faster than a non-tint because the darker surface gets hotter than clear glass and acts like a heater into the car.
