we have it on our accord. it's almost like no tint at all. why would you want to go w/such a light tint?
i have 35% on the cl and it's perfect.

I do on my side windows. I have the Ebony interior which makes the tint look darker than 50% on a Parchment car. I like the subtle tinting and don't want to put up with the hastle of getting pulled over. In some cases, less is more.

To answer Mike, it's light enough not to get pulled over but still get the UV protection for the interior.

I had 50% on my last car, a Land Rover, and the tint is hardly noticeable. I later got my car re-tinted w/ 20%.

When I got the 50% on my car, the car was ALOT cooler than without, and the sun was much less intense on my arms and skin. I had a bronze 50%.

But, def. not as cool as my 20s.

This isn't what you wanted, but...

Just wanted to show you how nice 21% metallic tint looks, especially with some chrome 03 CL-S wheels with 235/45/17 Sumitomo HTR+ tires.
