Go 15% all the way around (excluding windshield).


When I had my celica i Loved it, didnt get busted by the cops (although when i saw cops i rolled my window down just for safe measure) and got lots of compliments. Visability at night wasn't bad either, I was impressed.

15% up front is REALLY dark!

I have 15 front 5 rear. You'd have to be blind to think that's dark. I can see perfectly fine.

Here's mine, F50/R35 a much cleaner look in my opinion. It's either tint all or tint none, especially on a sedan.

Haven't had any troubles in Richmond/New West/Burnaby for the last 8 months I've owned the car.

When it rains it makes it a lot darker too lol.

It's not too dark in terms of visibility, but you won't be hiding the fact that you have tinted front windows from anyone :rolleyes:

drunkrussian 11-25-2009 03:54 PM

anyone have some pics of 15%? i'm leaning towards that now...

Oh noes. A $100 tint ticket.
Don't do anything stupid and don't drive next to cops. Or roll down your windows. Simple.

lol i heard some horror stories on here about cops actually ripping a piece off right there when they give u a ticket! In that case it's $100+no tint+the money u paid for the tint :(

illicitstylz 11-25-2009 04:43 PM

I personally wouldn't do dark tint on your fronts.

1 - red car, supposedly more eye-catching therefore higher potential of getting busted
2 - already a sporty car with mods, less leniency from cops if busted

jaretron 11-26-2009 07:45 AM

No tint ever.

edit: spend your money on some decent corner signals and a front lip.

drunkrussian 11-26-2009 08:27 AM

been shopping around for a new bumper (see crack) and i might have found one with a lip actually, so that might be coming up :-p

as for turn signals, these are from the last owner (in my defense), but i do prefer the clear signals - i'm keeping them! hahaha

keep hte tint pics coming!!

optiblue 11-26-2009 06:02 PM

the first thing I did with my integra was getting a deck + tinting back in the days!! +1 for tint!

jigga250 11-26-2009 06:28 PM

35% all around or nothing, back only is ugly

flagella 11-26-2009 06:38 PM

The car somehow reminds me of the integra girl.

please don't go there lol

I prefer the clear corner signals on the red integras so keep them on.

However, I preferred the orange corner signals on my black integra

No, it will only encourage you. Tint sucks. It chops up the flow of the look of a car.

seriously its only tint, who the fuck cares


if you like tint, tint tat bitch. if not dont bother, besides it only cost $150


Not like dropping $2g trying to decide if its worth it or not.

drunkrussian 11-27-2009 08:46 AM

to answer your questions:

1. i care. Hence the thread!
2. i'm not sure i like tint just in the back. Looking for advice to see what it'll look like etc. I don't wanna spend even $10 souping up my car if the result will be a car that looks WORSE. Also, for me $150 is not "only" $150. For $150, I could buy approximately 150 slices of pender st. pizza. That's approximately half a year of lunches.
3. You're right, it's not like dropping $2g. $2gs would buy you years of delicious pender st. pizza.

:haha::haha::haha: i like your concept
