Got the TSX windows tinted!

35% all of the way around!

It looks pretty dark to me, but as long as its legal...I guess.

Thanks for posting the pics. I have the same ext. color and was considering doing the same. After looking at yours though I might go a little lighter.

Your interior looks like Ebony though? So my taupe interior may make the tint look lighter?

Looks great! Did they also tint the area behind the center brake light or did they cut it out?

Also, where did you get it tinted? I'm thinking about tinting mine.

I got it tinted at Umbra Window Tinting...Nino is the best I've ever seen! They didn't cut out the 3rd brake light...thank God! He has a computer program the pre-cuts all of the windows so they are perfect fit.

I think it looks darker because it was overcast and I have the ebony interior....the la is 35%...and thats what it is.

The one on Wise Rd. is where he is at....he used to be in Arlington Heights. I think it took him a little over 2 hours.

i have 35% on mine too. It looks really dark but thats only becuase i have a black interior. Ive seen them with a light interitior and the tints def looks lighter. I reccomend 35%, 20% is too dark IMO, too hard to see out at night.

Lookin good.

is it true you can't see a thing at night with 35%? if that's the case, i might just get 45%

I have 35% for the back 3 windows and have no problem seeing at night. It's illegal to tint the front windows up here in BC, Canada.

I have 20%, definitely too dark and I agree, it's very hard to see out of at night. especially if your eyes aren't that great.
