Window Tints
So moved to Edmonton, Alberta Canada and the law here is i cant have the two front door windows tinted unless its factory. Now the problem is mine arent tinted from the factory up front and from what I have seen with some types of cars is having the back three look bad. But some actually make it look nicer..
My question is can everyone that has coupes and just the three back ones tinted put up pictures for me, I cant seem to find any on here or the internet.
Also is there a way to get tinted windows from the dealership? It cant be film tint, its supposed to be a smoke effect like the sunroofs on black cobalts and some cars with the windshield tint, but i dont know if the dealership can get those for the two sides..
Pictures and/or answers would be greatly appreciated!

I have the back 3 tinted 15%. looks great. the only thing is that on the rear window the little black circles twards the top of the window will make the tint film look a little funny. you wouldnt notice it unless u were right up next to it and told about it. i will get some pix up soon.

I tried the "back 3" for a couple days and ended up just taking everything off. I didn't like the look. No one said it looked bad or anything, it's just my personal preference.
I don't know of any auto company that "tints" the front side windows from factory. The only way to do something like what your talking about, is painting them. Not Nite Shade, but something like PPG DBC500 which is a translucent mid-coat base, then add a couple drops of color. From an actual gun, with lots of test panels. We did a white moon roof like that and it was the only way to make it color match the car, be able to see through, and be perfectly even throughout. Expensive and not many people even know how to do it.
If you don't mind the clear front sides, I'd leave them like that. I couldn't stand getting pulled over on a monthly basis for window tint.
