What would be a good match for my NBP. I don't want it to be so dark that it looks obtrusive. I'm looking for that classy clean look. thanks~

Still sorta new 2 all this, what do u mean by NBP??

Blazing GT

Nighthawk black pearl


and 20% is good enough

NBP means Night hawk black pearl and to get the look you want OP go with 35%. 20% is really dark especially if you have ebony interior.

DogsTSX

I have the Arctic Blue Pearl (ABP), and i went with the 20% tint. I think it was perfect 4 the darkness that I wanted.

Here is my NBP car with 35 % in the front and 20% in the back .A few different angles to show how the light looks thru it. I think it is just perferect not to dark at night but still looks really good.

I have ebony interior also. And looking at some of the pix, I think 20% will be too dark for me so I'm leaning towards 35% now? Oh, and I'll be moving to Florida for school so 35% might not be good enough to withstand the sun/heat. More opinions and suggestions are welcome!!!

psteng19

Go with both... 20 on rear window, 35 on the sides.

tdottsx

get 20 all the way around. i got 35 on front than 20 back and i switched it to 20 all the way around

626tsx

go with 20's. i have 17's in the back and 23's in the front.

You might want to check the laws in your state - if that's a big deal to you. WA legal limit is 35% which is what I got. I probably would have put on 20% if I had my choice, but 35% is good enough. I know I've read replies from folks in certain states where they are harsh about tint limits.

NC harsh in some cities... really want 20%, but I may have to get 35%

On my NBP with ebony interior i have the 20% all around I like it. My previous car my 97 Civic hatch had 20% up front and 5% in the back and at night it was hard to back up, so 20% is good for me.

i love my 20% very agressive, but i think 35% gives the car a nice classy look

20%

i think 35% is just right. it makes the car look classy but aggressive.

anything below that to me is getting a little ghetto. but different strokes for different folks.

rmjames007

What are your state regulations? ours are 35%

EuroR08

What kind of tint are you getting??

I would say 20 all the way around, but certain tints look diff... I'm doing 35 on my car with a 45 windshield....but my car is PWP if I had NHB I'd go 20 with a 45 windshield.

were you planning on doing your windshield at all?? If so remember it makes everything look way darker

TSX8282

I'm planning on just getting regular black tint on four windows+rear. No windshield. Well, I live in Virginia and we have really strict law enforcements and from what I can remember the law is 50% front windows, and 35% rear. I'm moving to fl for school so the weather is going to be hot. Of course 20% will block more sun/heat than 35% but I'm worried about the look too. Don't want that gangster/aggressive look. So as long as 20% looks luxurious, i will get that for sure.

Anyone else have pics of 35% on NBP? I have NBP/tan, but am also wanting the classy look, not the total darkness look. I had that on my last two Jeep GC's.

i have 35% on my NBP.

i don't know if these pics will help you any. it's hard to see the contrast, but it's there. in fact, ppl tell me that can't even see into my car, but i see out just fine.

pics of my tint

instrbTSX

i would get 20% tint on my NBP but the law in DE is absolutely NO tint in the front windows but we are allowed to have as dark as we want on the back windows. dont move to delaware. i would only get tint if i could have it all even all the way around. but i'd say go with 20 man

Mokos23

going to tint the front windows too?

daboi_n_boise

How much does tinting usually run? I am looking at getting a 35% all around on my ABP.. Any ideas?

depends on the place/guy, depends on the cost of the materials.

i probably paid a premium for my tints, but i think it's worth paying a little extra to get it done right, and have quality tint film that won't bubble or turn purple in like 3 years.

HondaAcura83

Thanks for posting, but does anyone have any side profile pictures of 35% on NBP?

Back home in Orlando I took all my cars to this one small tint shop called the pit stop tint shop. (the guy loves Nascar) They did my parents 2 cars, my sisters suv, and my 2 cars. He's a cool guy perfect jobs never had a problem all onepiece back and never bubbled. My sisters suv was done in 2003 and still perfect. I think he charges under 200 for a whole car amybe less. I really cant remember since the last car I took there was my TSX and that was December 2005.

wisdumb2oof

20% around is perfect. Just dark enough to prevent people seeing in but light enough so you can drive fine at night.
