TSX windows tint already?

I drove to a dealership today and saw the white TSX with Black interior
It seems the window's already been tinted

I also ask one of their sales person
He told me Yes It is, so I don't need to tint the car again

Can somebody verify it if you have a white TSX with black interior?
It really looks a little bit dark
or because it is a white car so makes the windows look darker

TSX doesn't come with tinted windows as stock

If the dealer did tint it, they'll probably charge you for it.
Sales reps usually don't know what they're talking about.. talk to a fleet manager or something.

Dealer probably added the tint, check the sticker next time to see if they had a break down for the tint.

Here is my crystal pearl with 15% tints in rear

ill45...BTW, that is a gorgeous pic of your TSX! The more I look at the second generation, the more I like it. No sure how can someone not like this car?!

I got mine done yesterday - 50 on all doors, 35 on back glass. I use mine for business so I didn't want to go too dark.

Does the PERFECT car actually exists? The grill is not the nicest but certainly not enough to say the car is hideous....There were things on my 2006 TSX I hated too...look at a 1st generation when you follow one and the car is too narrow and tall...still looked nice from other angles.

Get back on topic, people. This thread is about tint, not grilles.

Next person to mention the grille gets a vacation.

check out mine.

35% all around, but 20% in the rear windsheild.

just be aware that when the film is applied to the car, it comes out a bit darker ... so probably 30% in the front.

when i picked up my PWP/Ebony, it had like 80% tint already on it or something.

i think the factory glass is already pre-darkened

my friend will be tinting my windows in a week or so

^^The factory glass does come with a slight tint built in without a film^^ Some dealers do tint some of the models. They may throw it in for free if you haggle. Most of the time it's a ploy. I think the best percentage for a professional adult in his/her late 20s and up is 35%.
