Rep Power: 0 What Percent Tints Should I Get?
I want to get only the back half of my Silver 2006 Honda Civic Coupe tinted, but I don't know what percentage to get. Which percent would be the best, that would match the rest of the car?

20% itd look best. but if you wanna blend it more with the paint and not have it stick out as different from the fronts, get 35%, although thats a lot of money for little tint. 30% is a good in between.

First off check what your states lowest legal limit is. Second if its like PA (25% is the lowest) then I'd say on a silver car go with 30-40 like Envy said. It will blend better.

Well I live in New Jersey, where I can get any percent tints on the back half but no tints on any of the windows on the front half. I was thinking 20%, but I think that is going to look weird on a silver car that is not going to have the front half tinted. Does anyone have any pictures of a civic tinted only on the back half?

im glad i didnt go lower than 35% all around. any less is way too dark. on cloudy days, you can barely see through it.

20% its a bit darker than i liked, and i think that 20% on the backs only would look plain ugly. with sunlight, you can see through, in clouds, its black.

Seems 35% all around is the best way to go,but I don't know if i could pass inspection with that since its illegal to get it all around in NJ.
