I'm thinking about getting tint for my GSR sedan... I've came up with these two plans...

a) 20% on both the front and rear sides

or

b) 35% on the front, 20 or 15% on the rear

Would option B look ugly since the tint is not matching-all-around?

The only reason why I'm even thinking about B is because it would probably attract the cops less than option A.

I'm from the Bay Area, Cali...

either do all one color (light) or dont do it at all.. it looks sooo gay when people do different shades on different windows. Get a light color that will give it some tint but at the same time be see through.

 

GS-Rcivic - Thanks dude for the reply, do you have tint on your car?

Anyone else have comments / suggestions?

 

yeah here is a recent one. Its 28% all around,eventhough it looks pitch black on this pic (its the lighting)


here is one before the paint...

 

nice car... nice rims! do you like your tint?

did you get a paint job? if so, how much did it cost?

 

yeah man nice rims
nice car

 

I'm running 50% on the front, and 35% on the back. You can't even tell it's two different grades.

 

ebelp - thanks for reply do you like your tint? or do you wish it was darker?

 

Is it legal to have tint on the front windows in CA? Or is it suppost to be a certain percent?

 

Yeah, I like my tint. With my interior being black, it looks a lot darker than it is. Besides, in VA you get harrassed by the cops if your tint is 1% darker than the legal limit. In my old Accord, I had 20% all the way around, and I got pulled over by two cops. They acted like I'd just shot someone.

 

5% all around and none on the front.

 

None in the front? As in 0%?

 

Synergy001 - do you have a front view pic of your car? have you ever been pulled over?

 

i mean no tint in the front....my bad

 

yeah i got pulled over once since i had the tint. but i had the tint for 6 years so i guess one time is alright...lol...heres the front its not tinted btw.

 

what is the legal limit in Cali??

and i realli don't think Cali Cops care about tints... since there's so too many luxurys already w/ tints... i bet cops can not even tell which car comes w/ tints...

so.. what is the legal limit??

 

they know that civics don't come with tint...

the legal limit is something ridiculous that you might as well not bother having them tinted. if you are looking for heat reduction then different shades is the way to go as you can make it seem like there is no tint on the front if its light enough.

 

There is no "legal limit" to tinting the front windows anymore. The law says that you can't have any sort of a tint on the front windows... they'll give you a ticket. Trust me... I've received two three tint tickets in the past year... That's what I get for going with the "limo tint" 6% (I think.) It's so dark you can't see **** inside, even if the sun's directly on the window. It's pretty tight... and the sun NEVER bothers me.
