Default Doubt about privacy glass. 992 targa

Dear all,
I'm in the process of buying a 992 targa. I studied how to configure it, and now I have few doubts left, if not a very big one: the privacy glass.
I summarize the two aspects that cause me this conflict:
PROS: In my opinion, the black glass makes the line more sporty and aggressive
CONS: Having the black rollbar, I'm afraid that the dark glass leads to losing sight of the rollbar itself, which in my opinion is the main feature that identifies porsche targa.

So I ask for your opinion. Is privacy glass actually very dark in sunlight? Do you have experiences with the combination of black rollbar + privacy glass?

Thanks for your advice.

The pro for the privacy glass is that if you wanted to tint the windows its done. I have heard that tinting that back glass on a targa can be expensive and its very hard to do

yeah there are a couple of threads on tinting targas. My personal opinion is that Targas look better without tint. especially with the black bar.

I tried a targa with black glass but it's too dark... no rear visibility. so I configured my targa with clear glass and I'm happy with the result

Just do a lighter tint on the side windows so there is still a contrast.

I'd do clear from the factory, then do maybe 50% tint. BUT it would depend on why you want it. Privacy vs UV protection.

In Italy it is not legal to darken the side windows, so only the rear glass would be darkened

In that case if you'd like it done have the factory do it, having it done after the fact is a major pain. I am sure it will look great.
