Default Tinted windows

I have a 92 Prelude SI 4WSTEER, 87 CRX SI, 87 PRELUDE with tinted windows. Has anyone tinted the S2000 windows? How do they look???

I just got mine tinted on Tuesday with some 35% (the darkest legal in TX) black (by Gary Smith in North-west Houston.. PM if you want his info) and I think it looks pretty good.

I would have liked 20% even better, but... well, I would feel like an idiot if I got a ticket for having windows tinted too darkly.

That said, the 35% is pretty dark. My black interior helps make it look darker too. I noticed that the interior feels a little more private now with the windows and top up. It has been raining a lot, so I can't comment on the amount of heat it blocks, but I think it feels cooler.

Finally, my car is Silverstone, and now that the windows are tinted, I have noticed that the side and front diffusers look a lot more out of place. I am probably going to switch them out soon with the clear ones, which wasn't really going to be m next mod, but it has moved up on the priority list.

That's about it for my experiences!

I got mine tinted and it look good. but make sure they do a good job cause I heard that it peals off easy at the top of the window where the window comes to the top. it could rub the tint off after a while. but it looks good, all blk on my blks2k.

20% in the rear, 35% on my sides... I love it! Now if only the local authorities approved of my side window tint, it would be perfect.

tinted S2000 windows look good. Especially when you can hardly see in them.

IMO you all are crazy...

I leave my shit plain so everyone can see me...

It's few, and very few, when I have the top / windows up - and when they're up, I want everyone to see me..

Don't tint them - let everyone know who you are!

Plus, you're going to spend how much $$ for how much tinted glass? Come on now...
