Window Tint 3g RDX

Hey guys. I’m planning to get my front Passenger and driver side windows tinted soon in ceramic. The installer said the 25% will look really nice. Could you guys please post photos and tell me what percentage tints you have so I can decide what I like best. White diamond Pearl white paint if you have would be a bonus!
Thanks for your help!

I dont’ have a 3g yet. But that ceramic is nice stuff. I have it on the front doors of my 1g. Then put a lighter shade all over my mom’s 2020 CRV.

Here is 20% on the fronts of a 2021 RDX. Our installer only does 20% or 34%. We did 34% on our previous car trying to stay legal, and it just didn’t look good. This was right after we got it done, so it was still a little hazy.

The 20% on the front windows is a good choice! It looks great!

I also went with 20% Ceramic tint at the front, to better match the back windows. It's been over a year and although I get comments about the darkness pretty often, I've had no issues at all even while driving beside police cars lol.

20% ceramic tinted front windows

Nice tint. Q: What kind of tire dressing do you use. Those tires look great, in addition to your tint. Thank you.

Thanks, we have been using the Black Magic aerosol lately. It works really well and lasts a while. It also isn’t drippy or runny.

Kicking myself in the ass. I put 50% in the front passenger. Barely any difference.

I should've done 35%. If I put 20% I would get pulled over since its illegal where I'm from.

How much darker ??

Just curious ... how much darker is the front cabin with the 20% / 35% / 50% tints? I want to tint the front windows but I fear it will be too dark inside. I recall test driving a G80 a few years ago where the front tint matched the rear (likely 20%) and I found it very dark.

We probably would have gotten 25-28% had it been available. With the panoramic sunshade open though, it actually doesn’t feel that dark with 20%. It’s def not legal, but we don’t have any issues with visibility and on sunny days you can easily see inside the car.

No pics because I'm a lousy photographer, but I went with:
30% on the front windows
70% on the rear doors and hatch
20% on the sunroof
5% strip across the top of the windshield.

It's a little darker than is legal on the front windows, but so far I haven't had any problems. I like it, but would prefer just a bit darker on the fronts, but didn't want to risk getting hassled.
