Why People Choose This Option
The popularity of SUVs, Minivans, and extended cab Trucks has exploded in recent years. 90% of these vehicles come from the factory with "privacy glass" or deep tinted glass in the rear half of the vehicle.
This look has become very desirable to those who buy these kinds of vehicles. It has become so popular that many automakers are discontinuing the manufacture of sedans (4 doors) and coupes (2 doors).
Since most of these vehicles come with the dark glass in the rear, most people think that they only need to tint the front two doors, but there are good reasons not to do that.

Why You Should Not Stop There
The back windows that come factory tinted dark are simply dyed glass. The manufactures mix dye into the glass when it is made.
There is no benefit to dyed glass other than privacy.
The problem with dyed glass is it is very ineffective in stopping the sun's infra-red radiation and works very much like dyed window tint.
Dyed glass still allows heat building infra-red radiation to penetrate the interior of the vehicle making the cabin hot and uncomfortable.
