6% on my GBP



anyhow, when i went to the tint place my friend followed me with his moms 03 v6 coupe and they said it would be hard to do because of the dots at the top of the window, so he ended up not doin it ... so hopefully you can find a place that can deal with it.

here in Texas, the minimum for the front 2 windows is 35%, and for the rear, you can go as dark as you want. IMO, whatever you do, keep the same tint all wround. I remember seeing an Accord sedan like mine with 35% front, 5% rear, and it looked tacky (like an SUV or minivan)...

Yeah I def. say go with 35% smoke all around. Don' do that stupid darker/lighter thing with the windows. 35% smoke on a black car looks hot. 20% is way too dark I think, plus you'll have hard time at night in low light areas.

20% all around except for my front-windshield which has no tint. IMO 20% is perfect for your Nighthawk Black Pearl 04' Accord V6 Coupe. I have no problems w/ driving at night as well.

Lower percent=darker tint.

The percentage is how much light it lets in. 100% would be no tint, and all light from outside would come in. 20% is pretty dark tint, where only 20% of light from outside gets in.
