    To re-tint or not to re-tint????

    Need some opinions. I never have been a fan of the mirror tint untill I bought this VX with it on already. It has grown on me. But on the other hand I really dig the black/white contrast and this throws it off a bit.

    So I have been thinking of stripping the mirror tint and re-tinting it with limo tint to give more of that contrast and to match the black border on the rear windows.

    But I thought I would ask for your opinion OR if anyone out there could photoshop it for me so I can get a better picture of what it would look like.

    Here are a few pics. Old ones though

    I could not get the second image to insert in large original format.

    If anyone has the time a photoshop version of limo tint would be nice.....

    You don't need a Photoshop version, really. Just go with black limo tint. Not only will it look a MILLION times better on your B&W Ironman, but I never liked mirrored tint anyway.

    I vote for the black tint, it hides the black borders around the windows for a solid look.
    I had mine replaced and removing the old tint is easy if they steam them.

    What Bulldoggie said!

    I forgot to mention those black window borders, and IMO the profile looks a lot smoother w/o those black borders.
