Default Window Tint on 03?

Has anyone out there had their windows tinted recently? If so what are some of the issues one should observe when this is being done and specifically what are the implications on the rear window.

Any pictures?

Thanks in advance

My side windows are 35% reflective, my rear is 20%, and my windshield is 35% non reflective. At night the windows are even darker. No problems to speak of just make sure you get them done at a tint shop that gives a ,fade resistant product and a warranty. Most shops do, if you see a car with bubbles in the tint or the windows look a light purple it was a Pep Boys job, yuck! Here are some so so pics, that may help. good luck.

RedRice--your relocated gas latch continues to amaze me. very nice plus that model in your last pic is noce too.

as far as tints go, tinting the car. The tints will seem darker than most cars you tint since there is a small rear window in the back plus the other windows are fairly small. This along with a black interior gives the effect that the tint is darker than they are. My car has 20% Llumar High Performance tint and it looks almost as dark as my friend's Integra with 5%.

I had my car done about two months ago with 20% all the way around. Not sure of the specifics on brand.

Yeah these pics are kind of dark. I need to take the car out on a day where there are no clouds in the sky and get some more shots. I love how dark it looks on overcast days though. Like you said...it's almost like having 5%...which I actually thought about going with. Now I am glad I didn't. 5% would have been too dark for me.

Razor...you definitely have to get yours done. You will love it.
