Window Graphics Help!

I am looking into having Cooperflags make window graphics for me. I want either just the back window or the rear side windows or all three. I am drawing a blank as to what I should put on them though, other than the MINI emblem or sayings like "actual size" etc. I like how nice the photos come out on the window graphics, but it is hard to find something that goes well with the MINI without being cheesy. Thanks for any suggestions. And if anyone has window graphics, can I see? thank you all.

PS - i know this is a little off topic, but does anyone know where it is/isn't legal to tint side windows?

KS is 35% all the way around. How do you get away with that?

NJ law allows for any tinting for the back side windows so your OK there.

I had 35% tint added but then got the brilliant idea to add black and white checks. The tint place would have, for a fee, customer made the black checks (white would have been no tint) but I thought that too permanent.

I then had Phil at Minipirate make a tacky black and clear check pattern that goes INSIDE the window over the tint. Because the Tint is so dark anyway, black is really black. The wife hated it at first because you could not see out those windows but got used it.

Unfortunately, we ended up taking it out. You might give minipirates an email and see what they can do

The same way panel vans, wagons, and trucks do?
