Default finally tinted windows...

finally got my windows done. came up with a custom idea to continue my stripes down the rear window in tint. so I did 50 all the way around (looks way darker with the black interior) and limo tint for the stripes. I think it came out awesome. what do you guys think?

I can honestly say I've never seen anyone continue their stripes with tint. It's definitely original to me.

i think you should finish off whatever's left to stripe to keep it flowing.

What ever works for you.

The ricer in me loves racing stripes, but you need a lot more aggressive car ( that is raced ) to pull them off.

Fact is, it is something you can undo so if you get sick of it down the road you can remove them. So enjoy them now that you love them. I have done stuff that I thought were cool but ended up lasting a few months.

Like someone said above, it's whatever makes you happy. Personally, I would say just tint the whole back windshield a darkness to match the stripes. Definitely original though!

There are very few things I can think of that I dislike on a Z more than this. Don't bother posting all of the crappy Z pics, I've seen them all.

That's really tacky. And I wouldn't say that 50% is dark...cannot even tell its tinted.

Here's my opinion. WTF were you thinking?

I like a racing stripe as well but using tint to make it look you inadvertently painted your deck window is a bit over the top.

On a side note, I mean no disrespect.
