Default tint or no tint?

I've been debating with myself to whether or not I should get limosine tint in the back and some lighter legal shade in the front or none at all. Should I tint my 4 door, or leave it clear?




the **** box ;p

i'd do a higher % tint, like 30-35%. looks good without it but i think a lil shade will do better for it

I liked the way my Accord looked after tint.



Limo tint in the back, good if you going to be doing anything "illegal" in your car. Plus if a cop pulls you over you can put your seatbelt on and he can't see

Or you could just put your seat belt on right when you get in your car like 98 percent of America does. It only takes all of 5 seconds

Anyways I say tint it 35 percent all the way around

no tint, not worth getting pulled over for having the font windows tinted

a friend just told me i cna get away with 50% tint because its not that far off from the legal 70% in cali.




i think this is how it'd look, not bad; going to match my vents hade window visors(wannabe jdm but whatever ahha)

Get it if you want it, but don't go darker than 35% all around.

Here's my winterized DB with 35%.

so 35% means it blocks out 65% of light?

it looks good btw.

I would leave it as it is, but you really need to paint those bumpers. I don't care how 'JDM' it is, it does not look good at all like that.
