Tint only rear window on RX8?

Has anyone tinted just the rear window? I was wondering how it would look. The view out the small rear sides is limited enough. After a couple of close calls with cars in my blind spot, I don't like the idea of limiting visability even more. Also, I feel sorry for my rear passengers, too. It's claustraphobic enough as it is without eliminating night vision out the sides.

I would tint all the windows. You should really have someone help you adjust your mirrors so that you can rid yourself of the blindspot. This is very important so if you adjust all your mirrors properly you should get rid of it all together and be happy with full tint.

I got all the windows tinted as noted in my sig down below. I still do not see well at night to back up when it is dark but I have gotten used to it. The darker the tint the more difficult at night it is to see other vehicles and traffic. I rely solely on the side view mirrors for this now.
