I got 15% all the way around on my black 04 ex sedan, and i have to say the improvment is remarkabel. Ac is colder, cops cannot see in, and it just makes the car look soooo much better.
Sucks about cali, why do they care so much, it is just tint, they should worry about more important stuff, like guns and real crime!!
If i were you i would get legal on the back and darker on the sides, that way you can roll the windows down, and pass inspection, cause they will probably only test the rear. Also if you see the cops you can roll em down, but it is not full proof.

it looks sorta dark when its cloudier but if its sunny then its pretty light

I used to live in cali and from what i remember you can't do any tint on front windows (drivers door and passengers) you can do the two back doors quarter windows and rear glass. I forget what legal % but i'd say back doors 20% and rear glass and quarters 5%. By the way I have a coupe w/20% all around (sorry no pictures)

gearbox you are my hero lol im going to take all your ideas just kidding well maybe in time, but damn each ones looks different , ok i guess i will ask this too, how is it to drive with your window tint as well? night , day , rain , sun and so forth?

gearbox 07-27-2005 12:59 AM

day, can't really notice but its a bit better when the sun is in your eye. night, just fine. its a lil dimmer but i can still see very well out the back and sides.

02civic_rida 07-27-2005 07:11 AM

I would say whatever you end up doing, do it the same all the way around. Looks so much better that way IMHO

I used to have 20% all around until I got caught speeding (90 in a 65) I think they were just mad and made me take it off ciz I got another ticket for speeding before that and they didnt say anything..Infact, the officer said that it looked nice... I personally think that 20 looks the best on all cars unless ur car is black w/ black interior then u should go 35 cuz the black makes it look alot darker....

Tdoan14 07-27-2005 09:11 AM

15% all around with windshield strip

x2. but my area of CA is pretty strict on tint laws :hithead:


IMO 25% all around is best :tup:

Juggaman 07-27-2005 04:28 PM

Deluxe 35% Blue. Which my tinter told me equals around 18%...I don't know. I know its not as dark as 20% black, which I had on my last 2 cars and loved. But it is dark at night. Sorry I don't have a better picture...

wow nice!

es2k2 07-27-2005 04:35 PM

i have 35% all around.. if i do it again, i would do 20%
35 is not dark enough for me...

ncirom2003 07-27-2005 04:50 PM

dam i cant wait till i get off my lazy ass and take my car to get done. lol.
only 35% is legal in MA but its just not dark enough for me in these pics so i think ill try 15% or 20% around. im not going to do different in front and rear.

boombazokajoe91 07-27-2005 08:59 PM

im ready to go limo on mine... and ima do 35% down the whole front windsheild..... just for the hell of it ...

gearbox 07-27-2005 09:19 PM

i really want 35% on whole windshield :( nobody will do it.

boombazokajoe91 07-27-2005 09:27 PM

dam that sux man... all kinds of places down here will.. they can care less about the laws...

slowcivic2die4 07-27-2005 09:31 PM

I have 20% all around had it on for about a week until mister police man gave me a 150 dollar ticket.[IMG]http://www.7thgencivic.com/memberrid...m/DSCN1323.JPG[/IMG]

boombazokajoe91 07-27-2005 09:41 PM

looks good man.. that sux about the ticket....im gonna redo my tint to limo and do the front ... i gota paper saying i have to have my window's tinted dark for security reasons for work because i carry large sums of money lol....

gearbox 07-27-2005 09:46 PM

thats the most retarded reason to get a ticket. they care about front but not back? you could still have someone hiding in the back seat with a gun just as easily.
