Window Tinting
 

I'm new to this forum thing... I just purchased a 2006 Honda Accord Ex coupe a couple weeks ago. It's black with black leather interior. Looks hot. Anyway, I would like to know what everyone thinks about getting the back three windows tinted on it. Only thing is, I would get all the windows tinted but I live in Jersey, and it's illegal for tint on the front windows. So, what do you think about that? Thanks.

:)

Well a law is a law, but there's nothing to say you can't do it. The legal limit is 50% here in Minnesota, but I see plenty of cars a lot darker. Is it worth the risk of getting pulled over, getting a ticket, and having to remove it?

but will the back three windows look ok being tinted if the front two aren't? I don't want to ride around and spend money on something if it's going to look dumb ya know. What do you think about just the three?

I've seen the rear 3 pulled off okay... how dark are you planning on going? Most SUVs have only the rear windows tinted and it looks alright... not as good as getting them all done.

This won't look to bad if its done will it? I know it's a little too soon to decide on this, but this is just something that I'm thinking of

There are many cars that have the three back windows tinted and the driver and passenger clear. My suggestion to you is to go ahead with that plan, put 20% tint on the three back windows and a light tint like 35% on the front two. You'll be satisfied and it'll look good.

I think i might look into that. It's just so hot when I get into my car after it's been sitting in the sun all day. So I wanna do the tint so it 1- looks good and 2- won't be as hot when I get into it after working all day and burn my a** and everything I own.. lol So in the meantime I guess I'll just sit back and see what everyone else thinks about it, and get opinions and stuff before I make my decision. Thanks again.

I second that dude who suggested the tinting of the 3 back windows and a lighter shade in the front, you could actually go blue in the front, most new german cars are coming out like that now. Post a pic of it when is done.

Thanks for the offer, I don't really know that the blue would look good on a black car. I really don't know what the blue would look like at all. What tinting do you have on your car.. and can you post a picture.

If your going to do that, I would go with some nice dark tints in the rear. I think 10% or even 5% would look clean since the car is black. Then tint the front with whatever you can. If the cops don't necessarily enforce it you will be fine getting the front tinted, but if you do get pulled over they may try and stack that on top of you. A cop pulling someone over just because of tints is BS. I had 0% all the way around and a 30% on the windshield for years with no problems, but I never got pulled over. It's not too hard to stay under the radar down here.

Princess here is a picture of an accord with a shade of blue on all windows, thay have different densities of it, I kid you not when I say it looks very very cool, most mercedes and bmws are coming with this tint. Of course its all about personal taste.

http://kryzak.smugmug.com/photos/118007733-L.jpgthis one has black tint in the back, blue in the front (the blue is very protective of the skin and such, which the black does too, but in NJ you can't tint black.

as per my car, I'm in the process of applying a new tint, once ready i'll post.

as per the front, if you decide not to tint but you still want a dark shade + some sun protection you can always do the rollups they sell at auto stores, they come in different sizes, some will cover the entire window, yes to some people that looks crappy, but you do what you can.

First that is not an accord, second mercedes do not come with film tints but the glass is colored. Has nothing to do with aesthetics, I believe it's better as filtering out UV. I think those colored tints actually look really bad, and even worse from inside. Some of those tints give everything an almost green hue from inside the car.


EDIT: And no law doesn't allow black tints, maybe some kind of crazy color but not black. What is prohibitied are tints that do not let more than certain percentage of of light out. Dark tints are illegal because cops can't see into the car at night, and don't know if someone is on the other side pointing a gun at them. Not so much because of safety reasons, although you really can't see out 0% or 5% at night without some light.

Well my friend, she's asking for opinions and so I gave her mine, remove the stick from your behind would ya?

My new car is a coupe, and has blue tints on the back windshield, and the two doors, and the little half window thing that coupes have. The windshield is clear though, and I think it looks pretty cool.

There you go.

Three back windows dont look to bad.
 

Hey im new to this forum thing but check out my album if you can find it lol i do all my own tinting and love it. Its a ton of fun. Any ways the pics are from when i was in NH so only the back are done. They are still illegal cause it is to dark but i drove it for two years and never got pulled over for that. Also now that im in FL for college i have a NH license plate and i have all my windows and part of my windshield tinted and love it. But the back three do look fine. Also you could try pulling the out of state license plate. One of my friends in NH got his car registered in SC and doesnt even live their not exactly sure how he got it like that but has had it for 3 years and lives in NH lol he gets away with a lot! any way hope that helps you
