I agree, 1 shade of tint all the way around looks best, like a show car or concept car.

2-tone works okay on SUV's, limo's, airport Towncars and taxi cabs only.

I have 3 reasons for not having tint.

1. I don't like people putting stuff like this on my car. It means disassembling the doors to get the glass out. I don't trust people doing that, they're all sketchy to me. If I could order tinted glass from the factory (preferably embedded in the glass versus film), that would be a different story.

2. If you're going to tint it, do it all (like was said). It is illegal to have tint forward past the driver's head here in Alberta. I'm not going to risk getting a ticket for something like tint. If I can't tint it all, I'm not tinting any of it, looks dumb to me.

3. I like the better visibility without tint (especially at night).

I don't think a car looks bad without tint, and I don't care if people can see me while I'm driving, so it's all good.
