Tinting a Targa glass requires removal of the rear glass in order to do it right.
There's no way around it... btw...it's not cheap

Me too. On the 911 and truck, I went with clear front, dark sides. On my old RX8 with required SCCA stickers had clear all the way around.

Yeah, it's fairly subtle usually. Today I tried a different pair of polarized glasses with no effect. I put my Serengetis back on, I could see a bit of the rainbow with lots of low reflected light coming in. However, I get absolutely NO funkyness in any other vehicle, tinted or not, with these glasses. So, perhaps it's a result of the combination of Air Blue film and this particular shade of Serengeti lenses. None of my others (polarized or not) exhibit this anomaly. Kinda weird...
