I'm ready to tint out my 03 civic ex, but I can't decide what to go for. One second I'll think the silver to black fade looks hot, then I change my mind and want to go all black. Or all silver...

Anyone who has a satin silver civic who's happy with their tint let me know. What do you have?

oh please dont do the fade. just go all black

^yup. The fade just doesn't look right. I think it looks too "wannabe" and cheap. (Think: Kid In Play.)

Going with a steady darkness tint all around looks much nicer, in my opinion.

go with the black. Limo on the backs with the next lightest shade on the fronts.

i went 5% on the back and rear quarters, and i have 35% (either 35 or 25%) on the front passengers, with a 6" 5% glare strip on the windshield... i went legal limit on all..

Exactly what he said except there is too much of a contrast if you go 5% to 35% I went 15% on the back and 35% on the front with the glare strip and it looks just fine...

 
Rep Power: 366

I've got 5 in the back and 35 in the front. I don't think it's too much of a contrast. I like the way it looks. My eyebrow is 25.

^^ditto.. i think my tint looks good.. at least, i like it..

i saw a really clean black-green fade on a 6th gen civic.. the civic itself was really clean.. it just had to lose the fast and the furious aluminum wing

yah you cant go wrong with black, if you keep changing your mind all the time i dont think getting the fade would be such a good idea later on down the road you'll probably get sick of it.

i went 5% all around, i thought about doing the windshield 5% but i didn't wannna **** off the cops. Also i found out it is hard and scary backing up with my limo tint on the back, i can barely see out the back at night. anyone else have this problem?

 
Rep Power: 513

it was kinda scary at first, but i adjusted to it

 
Rep Power: 433

just normal black tint please

 
Rep Power: 813

I won't be getting mine tinted. I think it looks cleaner without tint.

Just go limo all the way around. If you are going to tint and get pulled over sooner or later, why not just go limo all around?

That's what I'm doing.

i got 15% on my car, i had 5% on my civic before and double 5% on my truck all over. It's hella dark at night but your eyes get used to it. Mines did and i still could see out a night but it's just kinda faint (dark) hehe. It's just tickets in hawaii cost a lot... 97 dollars PER window so meaning i have 5 windows it's 97x5. WOO HOO no get caught. OH yeah and ALL BLACK. That's what i got on my civic right now. Charcol Black.


15% (cars kinda dirty so... windows little bit darker?? and overcast too... no sunlight)

Fading is so played and makes your car look CHEAP! lol go w/the Black tints.

 
Rep Power: 0

Oh and make sure all windows are the same percentage like 15% all windows or 20%. I got mine 15's but I do get stopped alot since I got a jet black car but its cool i got a Cop card

i mean u dont have to hate on the fade....its all personal opinion... i have silver on bottom fading to black on top....ill post a pic tommorrow and ull see it looks good....or u can think it doesnt but i like it ....

I'll go with the general consensus here and go all black. Does anyone know what's legal in NJ? I've always heard that anything is legal for the back windows but the passenger and front windows no tint is legal at all.

How much does it typically cost to get the windows tinted? Is there any thing else besides that's plastic film, can I get them coated with something instead?

 
Rep Power: 0

You can have any % tint you want on the back 2 windows and back windshield (excluding mirror tints, those are illegal). You are not, however, allowed to have ANY tint on the front 2 windows or windshield.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

are you going for style or function?
i've seen silver civics with light blue tint, it looks good. it doesn't keep people from looking in your car though, it's more "colored" than it is "shading."

you shouldn't pay more than $100 for a profesional job. (coupe, add $25 for 4 door)

 
Rep Power: 0

this is my mirror fading to black...the mirror is 5% and the black is 10%...very illegal

 
Rep Power: 306

I doubt you will find a quality tint job for $100 unless you are just getting the back window and back quarters done. I was quoted $120-150 for my coupe from 4 diff places around town and even the cheapo one was $120. That didn't include the moon roof either.

I vote for black - fade and sparkles are totally ghetto.

If you want some style, do a design in layers. Just no flames please, so played out.
