No pics of regular mirror tint on an f-body, but here's some of red mirror tint on a red 3rd gen Firebird. I know it's not what you were looking for but I think it shows that color matched windows look much better in theory than in reality. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/715283/2

good call. i think having silver tint is more illegal than having 5% because i knew someone with 35% silver and they got pulled instantly.

Someone with red tinted windows WOULD have those stupid looking wheels too (and vice versa)

Gland you came to your senses and made the right choice! I have 20% all around.

Good call chuckles!

As far as the pic with the red tint goes, looks like someone forgot to mask off the windows before painting. Sorry, it's just my 2 cents.
