Default Rear tint to protect interior

Before I ask, I admit, yes, this is a borderline stupid question/request.


Anyone have JUST the rear 3 windows tinted in their R that can provide a pic? Planning on doing it to protect my interior as my state doesn't allow any front tint.

For some strange reason, that Rx just doesn't look right

Honestly I wish mine had some sort of tint to protect my black interior. My rear seat on the top backside is now blue(ish). Plus in my area people don't exactly steal cars but they like to look inside to see if there is anything valuable laying around on the inside. For example I was walking to my father's truck one day for some coolant for my old hatchback when a neighbor of mine (who is now in jail) watched me drive away then walked to my car and started looking into my windows for valuables.

I thought it may look goofy, but it looks pretty decent + will protect from the typical rear seat fade.

Anyone w/ any other shots for the hell of it?

Thx for the Rx pic btw Klasse

That's probably it. The wheels don't look like legit JDM 16"s and the center caps definitely aren't the regular H.

But then, where is this car located...?

They make films that are completely transparent (99% light transmission) but still block UV rays like regular tint. That way you could do your front windows too if you wanted.

I just got ceramic tint all around, including the front, and I can't even tell the windshield had it done, except for the fact the car is cooler (I did 30 all around, and 70 on the windshield).

^ I like those Works on the PY. Not so much the tinted glass but if your R spends alot of time under the sun I would def recommend it to preserve the condition of the interior.

I have been looking into Llumar Air Blue. Its pretty clear at 80% and protects also. I've never liked tinted windows on py so this is really the only thing i would try or a VERY light uv shield tint.

Its not an ITRx from what I can tell. Doesnt appear to have the "dimple" on the front of the door handle.

do you have pics? ive been interested in getting the ceramic stuff, thats the stuff made with the high tech nanotechnology or something like that right? i know its super expensive right now but will prolly go down in price after soem time.

i had on my R 35 pct all the way around incl. winshield. nice bronze mirror, my back seats still turned color. now i have clear winshield cuz i had to replace my original one due to a crack and i dont know of a place where im at now that does windshields. i got 35 on the doors and 20 on the quarter windows and back window.
