Default S2000 Tint ONLY on side windows

I've been to every local place in town and nobody will tint the rear plastic window, I really don't want to splurge for a glass one plus install right now. Would it look odd if I just tinted the side windows (35%, not too dark, I just need something to help the AC b/c the heat is insane here).

Anyone have pics? I'm not sure if it would look odd or not.

It would not look bad. The rear window already looks pretty dark with the black compartment tray behind the seats. Go for it.

Thats what i was thinking. If your brave enough cant you tint all your windows on your own? But if you mess it up how hard would it be to get off...

Its very easy, you can make a template of the rear window with a cardboard, cut the tint , water with soap, let it dry and youre done, I have noticed lower temperatures while driving around, and trust me it can get quite hot down here!

Its 20% Tint, Here are some pics.
