I prefer black too. And, isn't it illegal in most places to have any amount of tint on your passenger and driver windows?

I wouldn't do it, but I think it looks good. First person I've seen to do the metallic tints

I can't believe you guys, know one likes it.

well, anyway, I am making one change that will add to it I think.
going to match the back window fade to the side window fade
so its the same fade all around.

I'll post some new pics when its done.

Too bad you couldn't legally put all silver. That would've been sweet.

Not quite my taste either. The fade is a bit too abrupt, a smoother more subtle change would look better IMO. But to each their own, if you like it CAPS, that's great. I've seen one car locally that has a metallic fade tint like that, sort of a copper/bronze colour that matches the custom paint on the car. Looks really good, but it seems like a quick way to draw the attention of the local constabulary. Regular side tints aren't illegal here, but any kind of reflective tinting is.

HAHAHA!!!!

Thats what I'll be doing when he bitch slaps you.

I prever all black too. The metallic in my opinion cheapens the car.

Hey CAPS --

I dont think it looks bad. I have regular dark tints on my ride, but that looks pretty schweet with the satin silver color...

I didn't say that I didn't like it, i just said that I wouldn't go that route.

Why would you change your opinion over what we said on here?

$320 is not bad when you have your windows tinted. He did front and back with a special mix of colors.

The dealership payed $250 to have my back window tinted. Mine are not that cheezy plastic film they stick to your windows that fades over time. They acutally dip the window in a cemical that darkens the window.





I think it looks good

Don't let other people's opinions make you change your tints. If you like it keep it! But too late now, other than that, I say keep your stock rims or go for the OEM optional TSX rims.

I like these rims. I had similar ones on my previous ride. But I tell you that they were a pain in the ass to clean. All those grooves and oh so small. It used to take me an hour to clean all 4 tires and I had to do it at least once a week!

But they did look sweeeeet.

Nooo! Well, it's too late now, but you shouldn't buckle that easily. I don't like black tints. This makes it look unique, which I think this car needs. Black tint (and drops) makes it look like a cheap civic to me.

If only you took some pics in some other lighting... I would have liked to see that around town...

(chiming in too late) I thought it looked okay on the doors but it looked gay in the back.

However I think silver with all black tint is much classier IMHO..
