Never seen any tinting job like that. Did you only tint a portion of the windows or is the tint made like that? Personally I think the tint looks better when the whole window is the dark color, but if you are happy that's what counts.

It's a cool effect - looks good on a white car, and probably would look good on a silver car!

It's certainly different, I will give you that! I have actually never seen that before.
I went with 20% all around on mine.......and I've almost made it through the summer without a ticket!
Whatever floats your boat
