Ummm no, thats the first thing I took off my car. Unless you live in the SW and its a daily driver, it doesnt look good at all IMO, on Hondas.

My R is PY so I got legal tint (35%) on sides and rear in a titanium-bronze fininsh. Love the look and the function. Keeps out alot of heat here in Alabama.

If you are just going for looks, then NO since it is so 80's & gang getto image.
For some relief in living at hot humid climate area, then yes.

It's your car, do as you please... why would you even ask anyone but yourself?
Would you like for someone to drive it too?
This forum is lacking intelligence BIG TIME!

I have 20% all around, a little dark but the privacy is good. Plus it doesn't make things fade as fast.

I thought about getting 50% on my windsheild just to cut out glare.
My first Honda I owned had 5% on all glass. It was so dark in that car even in direct sunlight. Loved it till Alabama had to get a tint law.

NO TINT, My previous 2 R's came with tint and I had it removed right away because I think ITR's or any Honda look way cleaner without it.

Tint will help protect the interior more. I'd go legal all around.

Do you live in a hot climate?

Tint helps protect the interior from sun fade. But if you don't like the look, you might consider getting a clear UV-rejecting film for the same purpose.

I got 40% all around, It's a daily driver and I wanted a little privacy.. I personally like the lighter tints.. 50%-75%

I would ask yourself these questions:

Do you like the tinted look?
Are you worried about you're interior fading?
Are you worried about someone seeing something valuable inside and smashing your window to get it?
Do you like privacy?
Is your car garaged?
Do you park in open areas where sketchy people walk by often?

Hope that helped your decision making process

Mine came with tint, but I would have preferred it without. I think it's been on ever since 98. I wanna have it all removed but don't want the rear glass to look like *** because I have a feeling it will take out sections of the rear defrost, so it stays for now....
