Can someone who has a black 8 with only the rear quarter windows and rear windshield tinted post a side-view, or rear-side angle view? I'm probably going to go with a 35, but a pic of anything between 50 to 5 would give me a good idea of what it would look like.

I live in California and don't feel like flaunting the tinting rules here. I am a little worried though that the black won't look as good with the front windows untinted.
Thanks.

Nice pics - I actually think I've seen them before.

I've also seen pics of black 8s with tint, but what I'm really interested in is a black with tint only on the rear windows and rear windshield. I want to make sure it doesn't look weird with the front windows left untinted.

Anyone?

speak for yourself...in Illinois it's illiegal to get front windows tinted so i have only my back three windows tinted to 35%...i guess it isn't so "weird" when everyone else around you has them tinted this way

btw, sorry, i haven't taken any pics since the summer

Yeah I think I've seen your pics before too. That looks soooo freakin sweet - I wish I could do the same with mine. Then again, I wish I had mine!! Unexplainable repeated delays, argh - another subject.

I know I'm going to get it tinted, and I'm hoping it will look ok. If not, I might take the chance of tinting the front.

Im in IL as well, You prob could have gotten away with having the windows tinted. I had "limo" in the rear and 35 or 55 (i forget) in the front. My cars been vandalized a couple times, neighbors a cop, and have been in a couple accidents and no one has ticketed me for the front windows. ....thank god none of this has happend on a 8. Maybe this is why im so reluctant to get one.....
