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

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

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.....

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.
