black tint goes with everything because of the black already surrounding your windows.

the blue doesn't look very good, tacky imo.

Its legal in Texas as long as its 35%--I personally don't like it; try a nice lumar mirror tint or something.

I think it works as long as the blue is not too intense (i.e. not darker than the body).

I kinda like that. What about a mirrored, more metallic, blue?

I wonder how that would look.

I like the idea of blue tint.... here in Ohio we are only legally allowed to go 50% *bleah* so if I get my 8 tinted *when I finally can get one* I am seriously concidering a blue tint.. I think it looks good in your photochop.....

question? Does this means Blue is legal?
1. Inspect for and reject if:
a. Glass coating or sunscreening devices on windshields:
1) Extends downward beyond the AS-1 line or more than five (5) inches from the top of windshield on vehicles without an AS-1 line. Measurements shall be taken from inside the windshield; or
2) Is red or amber in color.
b. Glass coating or sunscreening devices on windows:

I think blue might be the exception for colored tinting...I like it! Fairly subtle actually, make people do a double take. And if you like it, more power too you.

I've actually seen some of the newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles come with light blue window tint from the factory. As far as I know, it's legal in California.
But you might want to consider if it would bother you (or even make you dizzy) seeing a blue world whenever you look out from inside your car...

In Vegas, damn near anything is legal, except blue.
