what % tint

8th Gen Honda Civic 2006 and up is the 8th Generation Honda Civic. It adds a new look to the Civic line-up. A really smooth front end separates it from previous generations while still carrying the reliability of the Civic name.

Re: what % tint

do you have tint laws up that way? are you concerned with them if you do? if not id say 20% about, i think 5% is just too dark for at night, but 5% looks really good

Re: what % tint

My rule on tint is: Go as dark as the law allows.
If no law, 5% all the way around.

Re: what % tint

well up here in washington. with the light reflecting in is 35% but i see people with darker tints. 20% and 35% in the front is what i'll probably do.

Re: what % tint

When you guys say "Tint the front windshield". Do you mean the whole thing or just the strip? Here in Oklahoma you can do the strip and it can be 2" below the AS1 line on the windshield. So on the civic that is a strip across the top about 8" wide.
So i have 5% on the rear and the back two windows, 20% on the front two, 5% for the strip across the front windshield. I am 100% legal here. lol.

Re: what % tint

here in CA its illegal to have any tint on the front windows. I've had mine tinted at 15% for more than two years now and am yet to be pulled over (knocks on wood). If you're gonna get tint, dont go any lighter than like 20%, whats the point of tint if you can see right through it?
