Window Tinting?

akabickle · 05-11-2008, 11:27 PM

Does anybody have a FG2 civic with the front windshield tinted, Im getting tinting soon and cant decide whether to get the front done or not, Upload some pics and let me see or let me know what you think.

Don't do it. You won't see at night! Well it will limit your visibility and might be illegal in your region... I know many people that have done this and gotten pulled over for it!

get 5% on the windshield!

LOL

akabickle · 05-11-2008, 11:31 PM

haha, kinda contradiction what the other guy said, well I dont think i want 5%, yeah yea yea its illegal but no one gets in trouble for it thats just how i think so idc, i might go 5% but if i do i deff wont get the windshield then

Uh.. if you get 5% on your windshield, prepare to not be able to see at night. I have a 5% 6 inch strip on the top of my windshield, and at night it is pretty tough to see through. I wouldn't advise getting any tint on your windshield, and if you did, I'd get like.. 40%.

Good enough for me, I wont get it on the windshield, now i just have to decide on what to get on the rest of the windows lol

why in the f*ck would you tint your windshield? Maybe if your car is a show car or you have a tinting sponsor but overall it rediculous. I'm not going to start an arguement over it and i don't mean to offend anyone who has it done, but save it for the shows. yeah it might look good but i'd never pay for something that could/might ruin affect my life in anyway. I've seen it done and to be honest with you... its not something that turns heads. Its almost equivalent to taking out your stock steering wheel with air bag to get a aftermarket steering wheel that "looks" a little better. Save the money and get something else but its what ever floats your boat man.

Do you know what the tint laws are in your region? If they weren't strict, i would do 20% all around, but nothing on the windshield. I currently have 35% on all windows and 20% on the rear windshield and im pretty satisfied, it looks pretty good, but they are pretty strict on the law where im at.

i got 20 around and 35 on the front and i love it, wouldn't change it for anything

I have a 5% brow that is like 6"+ and yes it's hard to see out at night, I have to sit low to see
