Look closer at the refections towards the rear of his hood. Its hard to notice it at first... Plus its in his sig lol. I want more pics from above and below the hood.

its not a riv, but it still gives you an idea of the shade. this is with 20% all around, i live in MN. if you ever live in MN, dont waste your time or money on tint unless its legal or unless you have a truck. after this picture i was supposed to take it all off but got away with taking just the front off.
these next pictures are 35% walmart tint on the front, and then everything on the back is the same except i put 1 layer of the 35% over the 20% on the rear windows and 2 layers of the 35% over the 20% on the rear 1/4 windows. this also had to be removed to avoid a hefty fine, the only tint remaining on my car is the rear 1/4 windows and rear windshield.

Shawn, robotennis61: right click on his photo, left click on "Save photo as". and put it in "My Documents". It'll wind up under "My Pictures". You can then enlarge it to page size.

is there an official window tint thread somewhere here on the forums? if so can someone please direct me with a link please..
last time i did a search, i found a couple threads here and there. but nothing solely of showcasing everyone's tint. unless i may have missed it.
if not, can you please post up pics of your Riv with tint and state the %
i actually was aware of this thread, but this thread is old and is more of a faq and info. rather than posting pics. thats why i made the thread in the showcase forum. i was asking if there was already a thread like THAT already somewhere out there

This is now THAT thread. If you want to post pics of window tint, this is the place. If you want to showcase an entire car, Showroom is the place.
Yes, the thread is old, but window tint technology hasn't changed much in the last 3 years as I'm aware. No harm in keeping it together. Thx.
I had a weird idea today and I thought I'd put it out there to see what everyone thinks. Has everyone heard of transition lenses? That's the auto-tinting film they put on glasses. Are there any reasons it can't be used on a car? I'm sure cost would be an issue, it costs over $50 to put it on two tiny lenses for your eyes, but can anyone come up with another reason why it wouldn't work? I don't know how delicate the stuff is or if there is a special way to apply it, but the only real downside I can think of would be the odd look of having half the windows tinted in the morning or later evening as it only works with direct sunlight. It blocks uv rays so its good for the eyes too. I guess local laws would dictate its use but is it possible? Feel free to shoot holes in my idea.

It is possible, and has been done on some high-end cars, such as Maybach. It's called "smart glass", and can even be electronically controlled. See vid of install in Cadillac:
