I have 20 ill post, 20's sometimes look as dark as 5's, and at times look as light as 50's depending on the sunlight outside.

It's hard to see that much of a difference but the front's are 37 & backs are 27 or 22, something like that.

I'm purchasing the 2005 and it hasn't come in yet but if you wanna wait a week or two, I'd be down to get a discount. Which place were you planning to go to? I heard Accutint was the best place. BTW do you know what the legal tint limit is? I think 35% doesn't look too bad either.

In CA the 70% is just for the front windows (driver & pass). I think any tint is acceptable on the back windows.

Yes, but I don't like the look of different tints on the front and rear windows. Its either all or nothing.

So that I can pass inspection and not get fined if a cop pulls me over for tint, I'm going to go with 35% in the front passenger windows and then 20% in the rear windows. This way its still legal and I'm looking to get a dark interior so it'll look nice.

Sorry to Resurrect an old Thread, and i meen old lol, But im kinda confused here... Online it just said 70% for NY, which should be like no tint what so ever, however, My moms MDX looks like it came factory w/ alot darker then a 70%, thats nothing... I just got Quoted 135$ for 35% tint, which is an amazing price, and the shops good too

So am I misunderstanding something?

so lets have a little hypothetical situation here...i have 35% tint on my front windows, 20% on my back (legal in MA) and i get pulled over by a cop trying to tell me that i have illegal tint

how do i prove that the tint is legal (cops in my city are assholes and a few know me personally so this isn't that farfetched)
