Yep it's a factory option but the tint will get you a defected/ fail on a roadworth test.

so it would be ok to put in a custom acrylic sheet not the factory option one?

Yep should be ok.
I think rock_it has a factory one on his car not tinted and I am sure if you ask Dstocks he may even be able to find one for you.

i don't think dstocks meant that the tint of the acrylic was the problem, i think (correct me if i'm wrong) he meant the tint of the tail lights themselves.

yeh I understand the tinted tail lights are illegal, I just wasnt too sure if the sheet itself would be illegal and I think you mean aza lol

Yep you got it with the lights :D
it's due to the fact that the reflecters are covered and it's harder to see your break lights during the day. If you do a light tint and have the reflectors free of tint it should be fine.

Probably legal, can't see any issue with it.

NOTE: It only looks remotely cool in that picture cause the tail lights are tinted also, might not look so crash hot without the tinted tail lights, just my opinion though :D
