My past 21st birthday (few weeks ago) I received a decent amount of money and some of that money I want to put towards a light tint job on my Accord. Now my previous car was black and I had 20% all around but I'm not a big fan of dark tints on a light colored car like mine (silver). I also don't wanna attract any cops.. I know PA has some strict tint laws.

I was thinking anything over 35%. Can anyone on here post pics of their light tint jobs? (like anything over 35%). I was kind of shooting towards the tint job my dad has on his 7th gen (mine behind his)...

he's not sure what % that is since the previous owner had it tinted but considering we have the same satin silver color I think his % looks pretty good. What do you guys think?

ill see if i can find an accurate pic or two, or i'll take one a little later. mine has GOT to be 35%.

do you want a view in full sun, full shade, etc? cause that makes a difference...

regardless, 35% would attract cops around here.. PA's legal limit is 70% which is ****ing ridiculous. You can't even have any tint on the driver and passenger window.

edit: you have an LX or EX? with the moonroof panel open, more light goes into the cabin and makes the tint look even lighter.
