| white TSX - window tint
Just picked this car up 
I know it's illegal to have the front windows tinted ... from experience!!
What do you guys think of just doing the back? And what level of tint?
If any of u have pics of a white tsx or any white sedan car with just the back tinted it would help.
Thanks,
c

rear windows can be as dark as you like, you can spray paint the black if you want.
front has to be 100% transparent to be legal other than the stock oem tint (the light blu-ish tint you see on Benz etc)

20% it will look sweet. But dark at night.. Sometimes when I have my friends in the back at night I can barely see their face.. But its really up to your preference.

35% or 30% if that's an option. Personally I don't like the huge contrast of really dark tint in the back and nothing on the front.

If the interior is black, you only need 15% for the rear windows. The only time you'll notice the front's not tinted is when you you look straight from the side.

I went 25% rears. I felt like I should did more though, maybe 15% or 10%.
Visibility in the dark isnt that bad. Cars around you have headlights anyways.
Didnt bother with the fronts, didnt want the hassle.  | |

i've got 35 rear 50 front that way it doesn't look so odd with only the back tint
the way i see it, either tint all, or don't tint it at all to keep the clean look

I'd go with like a 40 on front and back. I think it looks dumb if you got the back tinted and the front not. Or the front less than the back. Just do it all the same but nothing crazy dark that will attract attention. My friends white g sedan looks nice with 40/40, wish I had a pic.
