yes, I have tint all round, it is pretty much essential where I live. It came with the car but I had it put on the XKR. Rear window was easy, the rear quarter glass a bit harder. Side windows easy.

Bear in mind that in the UK the standard Jag tint is close to the limit for front side windows at least.
Rear and three quarter glass can be whatever you want but windscreen and front side windows have a limit.

The F-type is my first car which I haven't tinted or added privacy shades to ASAP after purchase because I don't see much aesthetic or practical need for it.

Just like in the UK the side windows can't really be tinted any further here so I'm not touching them and wouldn't want to mess up the looks by tinting the three quarter glass. I've only considered adding a light tint to the rear window to reduce sun shine heat coming in there.

Agree!
I’ve never liked aftermarket tints as they can be obvious. I’ll take a look when I get the car and decide then.
Will depend on how raised the elements are to avoid a non factory look

I tinted the rear window. The result is only OK, but not the best possible.
Fitter had real challenges getting to the glass and not picking up any bits from the soft top. Had to do it twice to be acceptable.
Does sit flush to heater elements so no problem there.
Looks better, but wouldn’t do same again on an F Type
