Probably LX, since those are Si wheels which don't come on an EX and that color is for all Non-Si's.

Chassis code is 3rd, 4th, and 5th character in your vin, hence FA1. Nice combo.

Most state in the US it is against the law to have the front windows tinted some places alow 20% but not many and since he is in the great state of Cali I am shockeed that they even let him have the rear ones tinted

Front must allow 70% of light. Only problem is that 70% is probably not worth it. I've managed to sneak by with 35% all around (which is still very light btw). I figured I'll stand out less if my tint was consistent all around.

Honestly, 8th gen civics are still pretty new, and no matter what we do to them right now, they will not grab the attention of cops. Maybe wait 5-10 years, then they'll start pulling these cars left and right. Also, just don't drive like an idiot or give a cop any reason to pull you over and you will be fine with that kind of tint. I've been rocking 35% all around as well, and have waited at lights next to cops at night and they haven't given me any trouble. Yet.

i agree with you that the 06+ civics are too new for cops to realize that they're hondas . once they figure it out, we're all screwed. in my older civics and integras i wouldn't last a week without getting pulled over for not having a front plate, but on my fg2 it's been half a year so far without any issues.
