can someone post pics of NPB TSX with tints?

I've had my TSX for about a month now and I think its about time for tints, but I'm not sure how dark to get, if I get too dark I think it'd look akward with the car being completely black like that. I like the tints on my dads black MDX, anyone know what the percentages on that car is? Also trying to figure out if I want to make the whole car one tint or darker in the back and lighter in the front. Such a hard decision, pls advise!

Am I biased having a nighthawk black model, but this color seems to be far and away the best color in this model. most of the others look nice but the tsx looks like an ordinary car in these other colors. In the black it certainly looks sleek and stands out much more.

I have the NBP, and while I bought the car based on it's specs and the fact that it has such a nicely integrated nav unit (my income depends on my ability to hit far reaching accounts, navi is a necessity), I agree...black is the NICEST color for this car. I'll be honest, when I was first searching, I was dead-set for the CGP. SSM was right out...WAY to common on EVERY model of car. Black, understated, unassuming, classy, and sharp as hell.

I had my mind set on the CG going to the dealersihp, but as soon as I saw the black I was like wow this baby stands out and look sos nice with the lights on, and then I saw it with the tan interior. Fell in love with it and got the color, now it just needs some nice tints My next pay check should be going towards it. 35% seems to be the common, but do you think it looks nicer to have lighter tints up front and darker ones in the back? Just curious, not many tsx's around here and even when I go out i think I"ve seen maybe 10 on the street, but not one single black one yet.

PS don't you love how when you take a closer look it has a little bluish color to it.

20% I wanted 35% but the guy at the shop said if im used to the privacy of 20% then I would be disappointed with 35%. I eneded up being disappointed with the 20% , but what the fcuk ever. Its on there now & ive grown to accept it. I think the 35% would have looked a little bit more elegant & classy. Its like my neighbor said..."You WANT people to see you...You dont wanna hide from chics in this car." He was right...whatever live & learn.

Here it is... the 20% ive grown to love & accept.

hrm...i have a tan interior wonder if 20% would be ok, because you can see through it even though its a black interior but just not that clearly. Anyone have posts of 35%

thnx for the pictures!!!! 35% it is! Last thing is does not having matallic tint make a big difference? Because I hear when using matallic it blocks the signals to the navi.

What is a dark tint that no one can see through but won't be hard to see out for the driver at night?
