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 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.....
