Anyone have pics of their Silver TL with 50% tint?

I am getting tint tomorrow and I dont want to get to dark, I think 35% maybe to dark for me. If any one has the 50% and pics I would appreciate it. Thanks

Mine doesn't comply, but I'm really bored here at work today...
I have 20% all the way around...

Since you are on someone elses time (isnt it nice). Do you have a pic of your side emblems? Where did you get them. And probably a stupid question. Is your windshield tinted the 20% also?

I have an 11" strip of 20% on the front, but not the whole windshield...I've done that in other cars but I personally don't like it...IMHO, 50% is way to light, 35% is okay but my eyes are a bit sensitive so 20% is just right...I had 5% for many years but at night in the rain, it's hard to see corners and stuff...
I got the side emblems from Acura or you can get them here...It's just the 'type S'...

There are a couple of pics in the following link of my SSM with 50% front sides and 38% back sides and rear. That's close...

http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=54083

And here are two with 50% on all sides and 38% on the rear (before I went to 38% on the rear sides...).

50% All 4 Sides, 38% on the rear (1)
50% All 4 Sides, 38% on the rear (2)

Hope that helps...

50% is way to light. Dont spend the money. Get at least 35%. I just got my 03 ABP TL-S tinted and I never had tints before and I wish I would of gotten 30%. Its not dark at all and you will regret spending all that money on 50%.

I agree w/ Mr . 50% is to light to be worth the money...

I started with 50% on all sides and 38% on the rear because the max for the front sides in VA is 50% and I was wary of the two-tone look. It was just not dark enough. The next step was to go to 38% on the rear sides which is still within the legal limit. It helped alot but I am now considering going to 38% on the front sides (VA laws be damned!!!).

After that, I may even go to 28% on the rear at which point I will have tinted all my TLS windows twice!!!

I just got 38% all the way around except for windshield per MD. state law. It's definitely dark. Especially if you have ebony interior. Plus, I don't have the greatest night vision, and last night backing out of my driveway at night in the rain proved to be somewhat difficult.

I can understand wanting the windows dark, but I hadn't even considered night driving. Luckily, 38% isn't too bad.
