Hey guys just picked up my 2016 CBP ILX premium. First thing I want to do is tint the windows. What kind of tint do you guys have on yours. Is there anythimg better than llumar? I'm planning on maybe going 10% all around.

 

That's a great brand. Just use a great brand with a good warranty from a reputable shop. And if possible use something that is less likely to interfere with electronics. I used 3M, I just used that because supposedly they have a guaantee that is transferable from shop to shop, as long as they're certified 3M installer... Hoping to never have to use my warranty card.

suntek carbon technology tint with 18% front and 5% rear lifetime warranty cracks bubbles you name it. paid $250

 

Great price man, sounds like a great warranty as well. I will also add in that certain brands also block a lot of heat. So that may or may not matter for you. I paid extra for that, but my car was killing me with this hot ass California sun. I even got the front windshield tinted in clear, you can tell its a tiny bit darker. Every bit helped, my car was a god damn OVEN.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Mvidal your car is off the chain Thats why i love CBP. I might just stick with llumar never had any issues on my TSX plus they have a good warranty.

 

I'm not sure where you're located or what the tint laws are there, but 10% is really dark (I think 5% is considered "limo") so you might get harassed by law enforcement if you go ahead with that. I had my ILX done 2.5 years ago by a local place that uses 3M. I went 20% all the way around and I love it. Tint is a necessity here in Arizona. I've been pulled over twice for it.

Hope that helps.

 

I personally think 10% is a tad dark. But it'll look fine.


^20% tint. I thought that was pretty dark but I liked it.

I've been pulled over a few times now for tint. I had it taken off and reapplied. Got pulled over again so now the front tint is off for good.

Doesn't look too bad with the no front tint and 20% rears.

 

Fuck the police!! I went limo on my shit! trying to match my paint hehehe
If there are any cops on this thread I apologize its just a lil joke, but i do have 5%

 

Looks and works better in my opinion. If you can get away with it, fuck it. I have 15% front and back, and even then, I've been pulled over, BUT, its not dark enough where they make a big issue, more like bring it up, etc... At night, it does look much darker though. IF i could have gotten away with it, I would have done 5% back 3 windows. and probably 15% front, but then front would look too dark because of the back anyway, and then id still get pulled over. And not super worried about night-time driving, does make it a little harder to see, but we have rear view camera and there are plenty of asshole trucks with blinding aftermarket HID's.

My old car had 5% back windows, lightly tinted on the fronts. Coupe civic, drove with windows down regularly. Cops never pulled over me over for it, or mentioned the tint.

 

if you are thinking 10% just go 5%. Why the hell not?

5% Tint so you can't see up in my window

don't act like you don't know the name

 

Ha Ha Ha I know the name. I'm concerned about visibility at 5% never had them that dark.

 

Exactly car should be private! Fuck them pigs! hahaha

 

If you were thinking 25% (ish) then 5% would be a big jump in terms of visibility. But 10% is already pretty dark so 5% won't make a huge difference. 10% is fine too, I just like to quote Mike Jones when I can
