Im am,but I want to use the spray tint 1st to see how i like it on the crx,before spending $160 hard earned for something I'll hate and remove.

I'm just wondering if its realisitc feeling/looking and what percent it replicates with 1 coat..

thanks

Come to Vegas when its 120+ then you will see why tint would be a necessity.

Anyway, those spray tints don't work. Just get the real thing.

if you dont know if you like it then find a friend that has a car with tint on it and sit in it and see if u like it.

if any of your friends have an suv more then likely the back windows will have some tint on it for you to test out

dont buy some shitty spray that you will need to spend hours cleaning off your windows after it ***** up

Oh and also, I have driven in many tinted cars and you probably wont notice much of a difference from the inside unless you get really dark tints (lower then about 30%)

my cousins BMgay has somewere around 25% tint all around (exept windshield) and it is noticible darker at night from the inside, but nothing that will impair your driving unless you have bad vision to begin with.

Buy a $10 sheet of wal-mart tint, tape it to your window, and drive around for a while to decide if you like it or not. Then peel it off and get real tint (or not).

funny you mentioned that,my "friend" just got his 97 tahoe tinted,,double limo tint all around and 20% on the lower windshield,limo on the top 5"...its ******* stupid and this fool hasnt been pulled over yet but then again the ghetto i live in they dont really bother you..

but I'm thinking of getting 20% all around or 20% back/30% front so the cops don't bust my chops..can you parrallel park at night with 20%?

If you do decide to get them tinted, get a certified Llumar place to do it. I have been very happy with this brand. It has a lifetime warranty too.
