what is the purpose of the tint?

if it's actually for privacy then go darker.

However if it's for looks, and you're tinting only the rear, then don't tint at all just for a cleaner look.

yeah it's mainly for looks...you think it looks better with no tint?

if you're gonna do it, go 5% - i personally didn't tint my current car, as i like the stock look for when it was modded - i didn't want ppl to know i was 'that' kind of a boy - my last car was tinted all around

if it's just for looks, a front lip will make your car look so much more aggressive and stand out.

this should persuade you not to get tint with my crude paint skills lol

^ :lol that's like 0% tint. personally, i like the way my ek looks with 35% tint in the rear windows only. if it were legal i'd probably do the front too though. live with what you can get away with. w/o the tint i don't feel comfortable, especially with letting people see whats in the back of the car so easily. whether this be amps/subs, strut tower bar, trunk bar, c-pillar, etc i'm just not that in to trusting random strangers to not mess with the car.

hey dudes, does color matter?
like the blue tint that the mercs come with. that's stock, right?

wow that actually looks pretty baller...but ok point taken lol

as for front lip, i'm prolly getting it, but not because of the lip, but because it's already installed on a used red bumper i found (cheaper than buying a diff colour bumper and painting it lol). So i guess it's fate haha...man i'll just start a member's journal or sth later...talking about my own other mods way too much lol

Also I'd get the 98+ tail lights ( completely red tails )
It looks that much better especially on a red teg.

If you can't find a set of 98+ tails, then do what I did and go on ebay and buy the redout vinyl film tint, precut for integra, less than 10 shipped to your door

mine are the stock 98-01 lights though i think?

^ x2, easy to install too.

yeah pretty sure mine are already the stock 98 lights...photo's fucked up or something...friend says it's the reflection lol

just tint the whole car, way more flow:

very nice, it's got that toasty look...chicks love that

agree with the red car thing. am i missing something is OP a drug dealer or something? rear tint is and have been always legal? why would OP get busted by cops? or do you mean for other stuff like speeding? I've driven and stop by cops in both legally rear tinted cars and car with no tint, didn't get treated specially in any case

lol read the first line in that quote. i was referring to the fronts.

we (op and i ) established the tint is strictly for looks. so i suggested that either go full tint ( front and rear ) or none at all.

I then listed the reasons not to go dark (full) tint as you have quoted.

lol reading fails me, i had the mj goggle on

no i'm not a drug dealer lol

but anyway, i think i won't do front tint, and i think i agree that back tint will look worse than with no tint at all...so i think as of now, the decision is to not do tinting.

ok ok, here's a photo of mine. 35% tint, only rears and this is with backlighting.

^ fuck thats a good looking car :thumbsup:

Drunkrussian just do the rears 20% /thread >.<

YOU CAN'T MAKE ME YOU'RE NOT MY MOM :cry:

^ Did you get your defroster fixed?:lol

^yeah man, all fixed so i'm driving around seeing through the rear windows now

...so thinking of spending money and tinting them now to fuck up the visibility again
