Default I want to tint but...

I don't want to cover up the rear strutbar view through the back window cause it looks nice. Any suggestions or does anyone have pics with 35% tint in the back. Can you still see the strutbar thru the tint?

I want 20%, the legal limit in NV is 35 all around. How much darker is 20 next to 35? I'm guessing it's pretty noticible.

i got 50% and 35% in the back and i think it looks great.. would not have minded going 35% all the way around.

Well here in TX its illegal to have 20% up front, but I never been pulled over(knock on wood) I think there is a very noticable difference between 35 and 20

I have like 23% titanium in back. The strut bar is the only thing you see, so it's a nice touch.

Think about it, it should be almost twice as dark, shouldn't it?

i use to have 5% on my civic. It was hot at first , but got very annoying after a while, ITs way to dark imo. Just go 35% so its legal , 20 the lowest. U do need visabilty when driving around, remember that!

i have 35% all around, here are some shots at various weather conditions..it's hard to show how the tint actually looks, much better if you can find someone to show you in person. Also, different interior colours will affect how light/dark your tint will look (black interior will make tints look darker):








edit: found one more, but for some reason the pic makes it look like i dont' have tints or something lol
