Default Anyone install tints without tinting back window?

Throughout the forum I heard problems with tinting the back window on C6's due the dot matrix......Has anyone tinted the side windows only and left the back untinted? If so, please post pictures..........

You could certainly do it, but it would look kind of goofy. My rear window is tinted and it's not perfect, but unless you're right on top of it , it looks fine.

I did....I don't like looking out the back with a tinted window and I am also **** about how the rears look up close when tinted.


You really have to look to notice mine but my sides are legal so they're not real dark. There are millions of cars with tinted rears and sides and not tinted fronts and no one notices. In fact I've only ever had on question about mine and it was here and i've had mine three years and 35k miles.

My '11 z has a nearly perfect dot matrix. I just have a couple more spots to press out. Take the time and it will be fine. Not hinting the rear is pointless. It's probably the number one source of inside heat from the sun.
