Window tint question

I will be getting tint as my next appearance mod... Im going 5% in back, and probably 35% on the sides... I was thinking about doubling up the tint on the sides, in some sort of appealing way, two ideas...

After the 35% is on, have darker tint put on in the shape of flames

After the 35%, have my friend who works at a graphics shop cut me out some black vinal Trans-Am letters, about the size of the door emblems, and put them on the rear lower corner of the window.

Any comments or suggestions?

Just do the tint, nothing else

no flames, but maybe trans am emblems. i think a nice clean tint looks better though.

Yea, just tint, it already says Trans Am on the door. Not a fan of flamed tint either. Good looking car, don't distract it.

I don't have any door emblems, moldings, rear filler bird/logo, or hood badge, theres no trans am lettering or birds on my car anywhere and I was trying to find a clean way to add a small touch..

Do the vinyl over the tint and if you don't like it you can peel it off. Better yet just temporarily tape the letters up and see if you like it from the outside.
