what color is your car
15% for an aggressive look
35% for a more subtle look

anybody have that silver lining from tinting over the black dots on the perimeter of your back window?

I've got 35% on the front windows, 20% everywhere else (except the windshield of course, none there.) Darkest legal here in Florida. Looks good with the CGP exterior. And visually there's not that much of a difference between the front and the back.

i think oem windows are 70%, but i dont think they come with tint.

if your gonna get a tint get the same % all the way around, i htink it looks cleaner and the car flows better

i personally think its hard to gauge tint through pictures, the angle and lighting conditions affect the darkness of the tint. but heres mine anyways 18%

Tinted TSX

This is my first moon roof on a car, and I plan on having that glass tinted, along with the rest of the windows this month. Has anyone had any problems with tinting the roof glass....... The sun is always beating down in Texas and I can feel some heat from the roof.

Thanks

that looks so good but 18 is just asking to be pulled over, in cali you cannot have any tint in the front, some places in cali reinforces this while some dont thats why i want like 50% in the front and 20 in rear.

not sure yet, thats why i want to see more pictures!

27%





27% but how it looks really depends on how sunny it is, how clean the windows are, and angle. having ebony interior also makes it look darker sometimes too. for example, in the last pic its kinda hard to see in the windshield but it is not tinted or anything... its not even that clean, but it was really sunny. i'm happy with it. its dark enough, but not so dark it screams 'hey, pull me over i'm sketchy!'
