I'd keep the reflector, or maybe get a pre-98 trunklid then, but the reflector totally gone doesn't look good imo. Car looks awesome otherwise

Fill in the seams(under the tail-lights) in the rear quarters so it's totally smooth. I've seen it doen and it looks awesome.

I don't think it looks good enough to put time and effort into it, but it isn't that bad if you're just trying to be different

Sorry about the lousy photoshop tint.
Windows are tinted from the inside. Only tint what a tint shop would be able to. Tint the windows on the far side with one layer and then tint the rest with another. When you look through the back window of a tinted car and out the side, you are looking through two layers of tint, it should be the same in PS.
Here is my quickie chop showing what I mean. BTW, I added some regular gray to the windows to lighten up the otherwise dark glass.
BTW, dont have the reflector removed unless you are going all out like Dean did. I also removed the seam under the taillamp for you.

Like i said i did that in like 5 min sitting in programming class, the windows are actually tinted now, I did it more to quickly see what it would look like without the reflector, not to review my photoshop skills

On another note, have you ever considered tinting the tails? Im working on a set of Mystique tails now, tinted from the inside. Hopefully I can have better luck opening the center panel then I did on the first one I tried. 
There are pics in the LEDs thread in SW if you are intrested, I dont want to hijack your thread any more then I already have by adding them here.

As was I... I agree shaving the seam under the tail lights makes a huge improvement, wish i could swing it!
I also am not a fan of the reflector being removed. Cant stand to look at a trunk lid and see the smooth roundness of the taillights inturupted by a sundden straight edge.  jmo
