Lightbulb Windows Tinted

So I have been contemplating if I should get my windows tinted (including softop and hardtop) but don't know how the s2k would look w/ the soft top down and tinted windows rolled up.

Does anyone have any pictures? How do you think it'll look? Thoughts? How much tint would look good? 35% or 50% legal?

Anyone knows of a good tint place in Northern VA? I just dont want any bubbles and have a good job done on all the windows including softop and hardtop if i were to get it and a fairly decent price since the s2k windows aren't that big.

i do it all the time, looks fine to me.

i would prolly go with 35% if I were you. and btw if you pay for 50% you won't be legal, although cops prolly won't notice. your actual tint will be 35%.

Top down windows up only if it's below 40 degrees out... or you're driving over 80mph for long periods of time.

I guess in some rare cases though you have to... But I think it looks pretty stupid with the top down and windows up... I see BMWs drop the top and put the windows up all the time... if thats the case, they should of gotten a sunroof instead!
