G08's weren't normally tinted. I needed to replace the front glass
(plastic) on my Star Trek (asteroids conversion). Since the Asteroids cab
was set up for the big old glass Atari used, I used two pieces of plexi. A
tinted underneath, then the cardboard bezel, then a clear piece. Looks
great.
I actually have a decent screen-shot online:
