depends on what mood they're in, from what i've heard, that depends on what time of the month, but its rare, ive been pulled over 3 times since ive gotten my tl tinted and never have they mentioned it, or have i gotten a ticket also, so i might just be lucky

99 times out of 100 they don't care. But there are always exceptions. In NYC they won't care at all, I had 80% all around with no problems. But in Binghamton where I went to school there used to be check points just for tints. The ticket was only like $40 so its not too bad.

I understand...NJ law is nothing in the front side windows!! I got 35% all around anyway, hopefully I'll be ok. So far so good, but it's only been a month or so.

70% is the legal limit in Cali too.

After looking at 70% it was way too light. You could barely even tell it was tint. I ended up getting 50% tint instead. Let me know if you want some pics of it.

Yep, 70% tint (no 's') means it lets 70% of the light PASS THROUGH and it BLOCKS 30% of the light.

Whereas 30% tint would block out 70% of the light.

Therefore:
30% tint is MUCH DARKER THAN 70% tint.

Yeah I mean why even bother with a 70% tint. The TSX comes with a very slight factory tint that is a little darker than most cars.

70%? I wouldn't see the point in payinf $100-$200 for having the tint at 70%. I would just go and get some of that anti UV stuff put on the windows to keep the car cooler in the summer. But 70% just looks like you tried to tint it but somebody messed up.

There is a chart at the following site which details the film laws for autos in every state.

http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Consumer_In...statelaws.html

Our last 3 cars were 20% on the sides and rear, which is illegal on the front sides here in FL. That being said, it was close enought to where no one gave it a second glance. I am having my TSX done with 32% on the sides and rear next Monday. I would normally go darker but, i've seen CG TSX's before with very dark film and (personal opinion), I wasn't crazy about it. I'll take pix.

I have 50% tint on my front windows and 15% on the back and rear. Let me know if you want to see that. Sounds like you want to see a pic with the same shade all the way around though.

No problem yuhoo22. Here it is. Pinnacle Ceramic tint 50% front / 15% back/rear.
If I could do it all over again, I would probably do 50% front / 35% back/rear.
I tried to include a couple of pics in different lighting, since tint darkness will look different based on the lighting.

TSX536, that ride is sick. I did not think much of the color before, but you make it work with those rims and tint.
