Tinting the windows... some questions

[cardriver]

Good call. I'm finishing my summer session tonight and must register for the forthcoming fall semester ASAP! And books...ugh that's one thing for which I always forget to save.

Smart priorities!

I think I'm done buying books, lol. Out of the probably 30-40 something books I have bought, I have only used about 3 or 4 of them. Only a month left then freedom is gone once again, lol.

Hahaha, luckily I'm a sciences major, so I only need one text book per course most of the time. Some of my friends are politics major, and they need as many as 7 or 8 books per class sometimes...

I'm a business major/econ minor. Politics, eh. hehe

So i have an '08 black civic with a pink pin stripe, and i cant decide between 5% or 2.5%...i want something that will make that pin stripe stand out more.

What are your tint laws? Are you willing to accept the consequences? I just ask ahead of time because quite surprisingly, most people never think about the above when they do things like this. Anyways, between 2.5% and 5%, you are not even going to be able to tell a difference between the two. Anything 5% and below is essentially black. Even 35% is enough to darken the windows enough to make something like your pinstripe stand out more. I think that of the choices, it is just going to be up to you how much darker than 35% you would want to go. Remember as well, windows have a light tint to them from the factory, so any "%" you go with, will be a tad darker than what you are actually getting.

I have 23% on the back windshield, and 35% on the doors.
23%:



35%:




I will tell you that 5% is REALLY dark. Sometimes I have trouble backing up in my car.
