Hey guys I was looking to get a tint on my civic, but my only options are 50% all around or 50% front two 35% side and back, if you guys have any photos of those that would be awesome!! And any suggestions, I would love to do 35% but in VA it's illegal and i'd get pulled over in a heartbeat.

As for the interior I was looking to reupholster it, there are various kits online I was looking at, and I'd do the labor myself, let me know your thoughts on this.

i would do the same tint percent all around. mix and match looks terrible.

I think you'll be disappointing with 50%. I have 50% on the fronts, 35% on the backs (4 door car) and 20% on the rear windshield. I went 50% for legality and it's not dark at all. 35% is much better and unlike gearbox I don't think mixmatched cars look bad

alright and any thoughts on the interior? whats the installation like? and how hard is door insert installation?

i got 15% all the way around. and i wish i had 5 or 10. its hot in FL!
as for the seats. find a good upholstery shop to do them for you. a local shop told me about 450 for all seats and headliner in black. but how the hell am i going to do my seatbelts?

i had 15% on the front two windows and 5% on everything else. you can notice the difference. looks so stupid. i regret it.

any tint looks better than no tint though.. my back side windows are tinted (sedan) and my back windshield, but my front side windows have nothin. i hate it. so i'd take 50% over what i got. lol

not a clue about the interior seats, but you'll find help here for sure.

any photos of mismatched tint on a coupe? also thoughts on the interior?

Brian1037

I guess I'm used to seeing mismatched tints because here in Quebec the legal limit is 70% in the driver and passenger windows and whatever else on the other windows. Most cars here have mismatched windows because people will get 50% in the front then really dark in the back. 35% will get you a ticket here

I have 35 on the fronts and 20 on the backs. I can take a pic for you if you like. Its noticable but not by much.

35F and 20R. I chose 35 on the fronts since I live in CA and police are tight on the front window tints. During the day its somewhat light, but in the evenings and nights, its like 20s during the day. I also have tan interior, which make it look lighter than if you have grey interior. Hope this helps!

looks good to me.. that's something like i'd get when i get em re-done
