Look at mine, though bad angles:
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-photograph-gallery-144/just-washed-waxed-814228/

I got 35 in the front, then 25 the back 3. Looks good, no probs with viz. You're in NYC right? I can recommend 2 places - Bronx Audio in the Bronx (duh) and I went to SpeedWorld in Queens this time, they did an awesome job, my friends have all gotten their cars done there too. Just tell them specifically do the ENTIRE back window (you see mine they left the brake light, but if u have a black no biggie). It was 130 for all 5 windows

I've gotten 20% on the last 4 vehicles I've owned including my CBP TSX. Tint is the same as what comes in the back of SUVs and Vans so it doesnt stand out so much, but it is noticable. I just roll all my windows down and turn on interior lights if I'm stopped by the police and haven't had ever been questioned about the tint. I figure the police probably just want to feel safe and secure that you aren't holding a gun up to the window as they approach. I've continued getting this tint despite its legal status in Virginia based on the thought that most police would only pull me over for a moving violation and I don't often speed nor do I roll on 20" chrome wheels...

35% tint on my '11 TSX. The LED interior does indeed make it look un-tinted when getting in the car, but its awesome in the sun or dusk. Very classy without being too "gangster".

anybody know a good place in southern california? quick search here and yelp looks like california tint is good. i wanna get ~40% all around cause i think 50% is too light and 30% is gonna get me pulled over by the cops in california (does 40% even exist?). also, is there a clear film that reflects UV light thats available for the windshield (or maybe even 95%)? i'd like that too

Here's 35% tints with the moonroof cover opened.



And here's the tints with the moonroof cover closed.



Probably should've taken the pics at the same angle...oh well...

Not much of a difference between interior darkness with the cover on and off but there is a difference especially when you're inside.

What a coincidence... I'm looking at tinting my windows this weekend... got pricing. Supposedly, there is a brand called Nicolux, which is $250/2 doors. Any information that you can give me would be appreciated...

Hope she doesnt find this pic online...she hates pics...LOL

If you wanna be real different you get
1) Mercedes Benz Blue tint...really light tho
2) Light green tint (think ray bans)
3) Metallic gold for that mad JDMTYTEYO effect

Justnspace I think you're sexy.....period

Ya forreals you pay for quality man lol, check brand of tints used and if they offer warranty, asking how long the guy been tinting too...how the shop looks too is an indication of the professionalism and how they do they ting

Well the place I went to has done tints for my friend's 3 cars in the past...and his brother in law's 3 or 4 cars and the brother in laws friends. None of us have had issues. No ghosting or such and he covered the rear brake light...didn't cut around it so I dont' know what to tell you. If you wanna look at my tints in person Killer, feel free since you come to brooklyn a lot. Look but don't touch (me). ;-)

No I have a 2010 vortex blue. My dad has a silver 08, we like acuras
I have prom tomorrow, after that I'll do it next week when the weather permits. I want to put the tints on too, probably at the place in Brooklyn for 120. Stak maybe you'll pick me up, we'll cruise around while the tints are getting done.
