Civic '01 and up TINTS
 

I have a 4dr green sedan '01 civic. Just wanted to know what kind of tint would look good with this car. I was thinking about those metallic tints, the mirror-like reflecting tints.. but i'm not sure yet. I've seen an exact same car like mine with regular dark tint and it looked pretty ugly... and i think i saw it on cardomain.com. anyways, post some photos with tints and give a little explanation about the tints. or just give some info/tips/suggestions about tints. THANKS :hgrin:

i personally have 20 percent on my ride. thats ontop of the stock tint that came with the ex feature. it looks nice. look at my pics. i have a 2door and got it on my front windows also. some states have a law that says its illegal to have reflective tint, mirror tint basically. i live in ga so the legal limit is like 32 but they keep changing it around. reseach it some. anyway, 20 and darker is nice on any car. good luck with it.

The guy who tinted my g/f's 03 Civic EX told me that reflective tint will be illegal soon.

that's gay, i think most mercedes come with mirror tint. well, mirror tint is out of the question now. alright, now what i wanna know is what kind of tint is light and what is dark.. as in percentages. What tint % will let you actually see the person inside? what % will let u see the outline of the person? and what % will be basically illegal?

I have 35% all the way around. I think it is just dark enough. As far as what is legal, it depends on which state You live in.

i have 5% on the back three windows and love how it looks, havent had any problems with police with it.

thats 35 % sorry but it looks like no tint but that also could be the way the lights r on the car

^^^^It could be, the sun was behind me when I took the pic. It's actually darker than it looks in that picture.

Yo look very carefully and you will notice that his right passenger window is rolled down and on that window you will notice that it is tinted.
:tup:

I wouldnt do the mirror tints, straight fugly if you ask me.... Green car, i would say a dark tint but not to dark, depending on what ur doing with ur color scheme as well.... Mine is 5%, but there was a couple reasons why, first of all my color scheme is silver, gunmetal and black, so it goes with it, plus, im in FL so the most pertection i can get against the sun with out it being that mirror the better.


here are two of mine

^^ is that last pic supposed to look all shrunk?

Tint:

5% - Limo - Cannot see in car
20% - Dark - Can see silhoutte of people but cannot see faces
35% - Light - Can see people and make out faces

The lower the percentage, the less light that is let through by the tint. 0% means no light gets through.

:cool: lol yea it is.

Ha Ha cool, looks like a Matchbox car or something.....

I have 20% on mine and I think its perfect. 35% just is not enough IMO.

gotta love 20%. That what I have.

damn gixxer... did u lower ur ride? shit.. ur exhaust pipe barely misses the ground. how do u get around w/o f-in that shit up.. anyways, thanks to everyone who posted.. helped me quite a bit. (just wish there was a green one i could see)

Sittin on airbags. :cool: Post a pic of your car in the Photochop Forum and have someone chop it for You.

Over here legal is 35%, so I ordered the dudes to put up 40%, just in case (police here are very strict... and stupid).
Well, the 'lice sent me to take a test for the tints and it came out 48%!!!!

I dunno about that shiz but...

I know it looks nice with the "40%" the dude out in it.

I got a NHBP sedan and I have 5% on all rear windows and a banner on windshield.

I have a green sedan with 20% I think it looks great. Mirror tint is jus plain white trash.

I Got 5% Over The Factory Tint On All My Windows Expect Windshield. Blackout Is The Only Way To Go

I never even noticed a "factory tint" is it on all EX's?

25% front windows ( texas law)
5% the rest

As of right now, this is 35% TINT. it looks hot in these pics, but just lets 2 much light in. Next week, i am getting them re tinted 15% on the back three windows and 20% on the front. That should look good

sorry here are the pics
