Tinting front windows are illegal in my state, and i think tinting just the back windshield and those tiny side windows are hideous. So i have factory tints
some cops are particular **** about tints some just ignore them, but i think 35% around look good

yeah...i had a choice between the standard black and the quantum...they say the quantum has no dyes in so it wont fade. in the day you can see your reflection but its not as reflective as true mirror tint.

I have a white rsx and was in your same boat for a bit. i ended up going 50% on the sides, and then 75% in back and small side ones. technically the shop considered it medium, and then dark in the back. Im very happy with it. any tint is illigal in cali but ive been next to cops many times and no ones givin me ****. at night you cant see at all, during the day you can just see the outline of whos inside. its just the right amount of privacy. perfect for smokin bowls

My windows came tinted, but I have I think 35% black in the front and maybe 25-30% in the rear. I don't really like any other tint besides black. I've seen red and yellow tints and they look hideous. Black on black!

Is it just me or are those stock rims, looking very gun-metally... is that brake dust, or lighting?
