This looks real clean zelaya, I wouldn't change a thing.

Here are a few pics of my car i have limo all around and had 35% on the windshield.

I recently took the front windshield tint off it was just too dark lol

I might put a 50% tint on the windshield. What do you guys think?

Why will you pay top dollar for a vehicle that don't have all the options you want. I'm sure if you had waited more time you would find one with ebony interior. It took me a month to track mine and only reason was because is pre-owned.

i agree with you 100% and the only reason i think they didnt have it with black interior was because i got her july of '11. According to the sales rep this was the only one with the advanced package within a few states.(at the time)

@rtls02 this color looks real nice with your tint setup

The first thing I'm going to do when the TL comes in is to tint it, so I want to make sure. Unfortunately when I had my TSX tinted I never noticed that the tint installer cut around the brake light until someone pointed it out. I definitely like the look of the tint over it instead.

Also I will be going for 35% all around since I am in Illinois.

yes, mine removed the 3rd light to tint.
although, on tl's i've seen ppl that tint around, and it actually doesn't look that bad because right around the 3rd light, the glass is black, and the light is right up against the window, so it actually isnt as noticeable if they cut around.

Yes it requires to remove the 3rd light assembly to tint and they never gives me any hassles or pay extra. Most tint shop don't want to do it because they're lazy or afraid to break any clips.

Our state only lets us tint the rear. Front windows can only be tinted 4" down from the top. I hate it.

15% Llumar

It's perfect IMO. On my first car I had two layers of tint because I wanted mirror and it wasn't dark enough. It came out to be lower than 5%. I also had the winshield done at 35%. My next two cars I had 5% all around with 35% on the windshield. My last car I went with 15% all around and 35% on the windshield as I was finding the 5% to be too dark. I liked the 15% but decided (at least for now) to not put anyting on the windshield. I'm very happy with how it looks now as I removed the 35% (that the previous owner installed) to go with 15%...big difference!
