Default Short shield suggestions ?

Ok.. running a Fastaire shield which I like but thinking about changing it out. I'm definitely needing either a 6" and no more than an 8" shield and a dark tint. I do not like to look through a shield. Anyone who can put up some pics, reviews of shields or thoughts in general ? Pics are a BIG plus and perhaps some comparisons etc. In case I add either a windshield bag OR tweeter pods, I'd want the shield to be able to fit those....

So how's bout it ?

sorry, i don't have a pic but i like my longride shield in 6" dark tint with recurve. for the winter, i have switched it out for an 8" light tint with recurve for just a little more wind protection from the cold.
