I would like to get mine tinted professionally from a store certified by my acura dealer, about how much am i lookin to pay? I wanna tint my back windshield, back windows, and driver and passenger window. so basically all around except the front.

I dont know the tint laws in Cali but it should run anywhere from $130 to $200 with the Llumar Titanium tint. I would suggest getting the front and rear windows the same percentage. Also have them tint over the 3rd brake light....it looks much cleaner that way.

This is a few years old, but still stand as far as I know.

You can tint all the windows. The law was changed because you can get skin cancer from daily dose of sunlight in traffic. BUT, the tinit % they allowed is so low. I believe it's like 75-80%. That's about what is stock on some luxury cars.

Most people like 35%, but that is no no in CA on the front side windows. So I went with 50% all around. It look stock, but just a slight reflection/tint from certain angles. But I think I would chance with 40% if I was to do it again.

I got more info on my "not updated" Civic web site listed in my profile section if want to check out.
