Helloo,

My dad just purchased a 2004 Acura TSX, 5AT, Nighthawk Black with parchement/biege interior. It has about 57,000 kms (about 35,000 miles). Mint condition! An older couple owned it. We are picking it up this Saturday.

We are also gonna pick up a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 winter tires, this week (16"). The car still has the OEM Michelins (which still has pretty good tread left). They suck in snow though.

He is also intersted in window tint. I am not sure of the law in Ontario, but we have 20% tint all around (except windshield), on our Accord. No problems. NOW, since we have the biege interior, would 20% or 30/35% look better?

Thanks!

Congrats on your TSX and welcome to AZ. I'd say 35% all around

Don't quite understand what the color of the interior has to do with the level of tint, but I'll second the 35%. I happen to think that unless you're doing the ghetto-pimp thing, 35% is dark enough regardless of outside or inside color (and with the beige interior, the inside won't get as hot anyway as say a black interior).

Well, I was thinking if the interior color was light and bright, then you could see inside easier with lighter tint.
