i have a lx so it has some black trim on it. so i got a 15 percent black tint all around. it looks really nice. but then if u have a ex, imo u should get the mirror tint.

The silver (aka quantum) tints are a bit see-thru, but they are neat!

I have 35% front, 5% back. If you want some privacy on the front, go with 20% front. Remember, that tinting on the front windows is illegal in most states.

Legally is 35% on the front side windows and as dark as you want (5% is limo tint) at the rear side and rear windows.

I have 35% front sides and 20% at the back, 15% tint strip on windshield as you can't even put the lightest tint there.

Although if you're lucky you should be able to get away with 20% at the front side windows, but you'll definitly get screwed over for putting anything darker there.

its looks weird not tinting the front, i'm not sure yall feel that way. and i'm pretty sure its illegal to do mirror tint up here in washington, i'm probably gonna do 35% front and 5% in the back, cant go any darker "legally"

I'm in St. Louis, MO. right now & I have 5% tint all the way around the car (windshield strip too). I have never even had so much as a cop tell me there was a problem let alone getting pulled over for it eventhough I know it is illegal. It all depends on what priority the police in your area put on enforcing window tint laws. In my opinion I'd never waste my money to tint my windows unless it was 5%.

I live in illinois and by state law I'm not supposed to have any tint on my front windows. But in general, you won't get pulled over for having 35 on the front. So I got 5 in the back, 35 on the front, and 25 on the eyebrow. I think it looks nice for the color to get gradually lighter if you cannot have full limo (5) tint.

Not good with numbers???? You even have a link to the IWFA law chart page (which is outdated BTW)... and you are so totally off base...

Illegal in most states..... BBBBZZZZZZZZZZZ.. ahhhh.... sorry contestant, but that's a wrong answer.

Tinted front doors are illegal in 7 out of 50 states! SEVEN! ~ that's 14%... 14% is MOST??? wow....

Can more people with Mirror tints on a SSM Civic post pics or links, 'cause that's what I'm interested in getting, but I wanna get a good idea of what it'll look like before I do.

Also, what type/brand of mirror tint should I be asking for? Thanx again.
