Default How Should I tint my window?

How should I tint my window guys? Should I go with the Lexus rx300 look (kinda silver looking, or just straight black. Should I do the front window too but lighter than the other windows or just leave it. Thanks

Ps I hate people starring into my car!

i would do just straight black if it were for my car. I too hate people looking inside my car, but you know what they say, "if you've got tinted windows, then you're trying to hide something". Whatever path you choose, don't try to do it yourself.

I like tint on just the back windows 5%,...the 2 rear and the 1 back window,..it looks kinda factory to me,.just like the CIvic-R.Its windows are tinted in the back only.Looks sweet to me. Platinum is Ghetto!!!
if a black car,..ithe back ones look GREAT! that way you can have 5% ans it still be cool w/ the cops when they get beside you!!!

Just don't drive the car when its dark out. Window tinting can be the stupidest way to get killed that I've seen.

window tinting , expect maybe in florida or REALLY sunnny and hot parts of CA where the sun will melt your skin off and discolor the interior in the car. If thats the case I say 25-30% all around

So you can take tints off your car if you dislike it? How much would it be?

If you're tinting your windows just so people won't look in, then I'd say it's a bad idea. As previously mentioned if you're tinting to protect the interior/keep the interior cooler, then go for it.

Also to all the people asking about his ITR, look at his name, "vietekgsr408".

Not sure why this is being asked in this forum, especially when there's a far greater audience for this type of question in either the Integra or Appearance/Cosmetic forum.
