I don't think you will see much, I guess due to the shape of the hatch it would look awkward.
Looks good on silver and white cars though.

If you don't mine being pulled over by the police for a ILLEGAL window tint. Go ahead and do it and pay the find & cost to remove it.

Cops are way more strict about that kind of tinting. (at least here in PA) I never really like the looks of it IMHO. Sorry I can't help you with any pics... just my 2 cents.

Well in my case I have a medical exemption. I have severe migraines. They are aggravated by glare and bright sunlight at times even brought on this. Really bright light will cause me enough pain that I can't see to drive. Sunglasses worked ok, but I would still get the glare coming in the sides. So due to this, I can have whatever tint I want on whatever cars I ride in. This includes my windshield strips. And believe it or not the red really does help with my headaches and the windshield strips keep the glare way down. My headaches and pain from sun glare have been greatly reduced.

Nope it's really the truth. Anyone with migraines can tell you glare is extremely painful. Heck the Doctor actually took the time to give me a letter to give to the GA State Patrol to get the exemption. And I think a doctor has better things to do with his time then type a BS letter for me to get my window tint. And the GA code book has an exemption for those who have a condition where sun affects their ability to drive.

I found out how helpful the color red was for me by accident. I got a set of red sunglasses cause I thought they were cool. Well it turns out they helped me minimize the painful reaction I get to glare.

See different color lens filter out different parts of the light spectrum. Why do you think green houses have green tinted glass? Heck, I remember we reviewed an experiment on this very thing in High School. How different parts of the light spectrum affect a plant's growth. It actually does make a difference what part of the light spectrum gets to the plants to encourage strong healthy growth.

I was going to leave that unsaid. It's not for me to comment!

From experience though, of all the cars I've tinted, the only colour that actually looks good with silver tint (and I mean looks good, not just doesn't look bad) is white. And that only applies to certain cars anyway.

Of course, that's an opinion. Not a fact.

i think the chrome would look cool , but i would only do it on the back window, my car is allready illegal with no license plate so . I would do it but the tint job would have to be perfect .

With all due respect, this thread isn't about your (or anyone else's) opinion on Redraif's car. If you want to tell her you don't like it, maybe you should stick to Private Messages, rather than starting an argument and getting a thread locked which may be of some help to someone.

You know, I'm not much for outlandish looking tint, ,but that tint that trigger GTA looks kinda cool, not too much imo.
Ps. Raif, your car isnt really my cup of tea, but I think it's unnique and very well done..

Exactly. And because people can't stay on topic and feel the need to bash her car just cause she posted a pic of it, this must be closed.
