Pics of Tint completed my 6th GEN Coupe
Well aside from the fact that somehow an interior body panel "magically" was cracked by someone (my installer denies doning so?).....the Tint turned out OK.
The side front & quarter windows are 35% black charcoal-metallic.
The rear window is 20% black charcoal-metallic.
I'm going to try and find a windshield shop that will let me install a tinted windshield as well. I have several cracks in mine and need to get it replaced soon, hoping to get 50% on it before it is installed.

The tint looks great! I was wondering what 35% looked like on my car...and now I know! Awsome. Not feelin the nose mask though. 
What kind of body kit is that? It looks really nice.

Mr. Chad did they completely tint the whole back portion (the matrix)? Or did they paint that sectin for you or put some dumb ass sticker? BTW they did a good job minus the crack.

I looks real good!!!
All i know about the front windshield is that it is illegal in most states to have it tinted. I only saw it on a black eclipse once in my life but it looked good.
Its gonna be a bitch at night driving also

Tinted windshield is trick 
Coming home from Chicago last year I spied a Teg-Type-R, yellow with limo tint on all the windows even the windshield. The car had new york tags, he was the man :P
The matrix was tinted, it's a bit hazy right now. If it doesn't clear up I'm going to cover it with black vinyl. Nothing anyone can do about the matrix.
50% on the windshield shouldn't be too bad if I could convince a shop to do it 35% on the windows is easy to see out at night. THe 20% on the rear is quite tough however.
The nose masks saves the hood from stone chips at 80mph since my hood has been painted 2x now I prefer to keep it chip free as much as I can.
The front bumper will need repaint no. 3 soon.
