Trying to decide on how dark to tint my back three windows somewhere between 5%-30%. Can you guys post pics of your 7thgen(preferrably a silver coupe) with tint and tell what % it is and how much it cost or direct me to a thread with window tint pictures. Yes I searched

I would post pics, but I don't wanna post pics until the car hits a certain point as far as exterior mods go. I'm waiting on a set of headlights in the mail. I'm tinting those, taking off the emblems, waxing, and posting pics.

You are mistaking my picture for slowcivic2die4

i have 20% rear 35% front

slowcivic2die4 has 20% all around, why it seems so light is the angle he took the picture at. if you look at the back windows you'll be looking into the seats/front tinted window, when you look at the front you're looking through the front window then the windshield (not tinted) so it appears lighter

Yeah (radar detector)

And eggrollbandit, you DO get what you pay for, my tint is CHEAP. As you can tell, the back isn't really black it's more of a bluish. If i would have known, I would have gone to a different tint shop, it's just that the other tint shops want $250 for the front sides and rear, and wouldn't have done the windshield for me....

35 all around. looks pretty light in the sun and pretty dark on cloudy days. but not bad enough where night driving sucks, just enough to block glaring headlights.

that's why i went with 35% too. i had a truck with limo tint and nearly killed myself when i pulled out in front of a car that didn't have it's head lights on. the tint was so dark that i could hardly see out at night.
