i have 15% all around, and have no problem seeing at night. I guess it depends on the person. I do see what you're saying about the blacked out look.. im still not sure what i think of it on my car.

When i had 35% front, there really wasn't that much of a difference between that and 15% in the back. So when they retinted them.. i had them go darker.

i gotta tell ya that is a super clean crx, a nice tint job would only compliment the clean look. my friend got 35% on his rsx and the tint he chose had a somewhat reflective outside (not that gay chrome stuff) it just looked really clean.

well my camera just died...and my driveWAY makes my car look lieke a monster truck...

ended up just getting tint an hour ago...

It was a tough choice. All 3M. All kept 99% UV rays out.(main reason i wanted it) It was just on the darkness.

They had 29%, 38%, 45% in black.
and then they had 20%, 38% in bronze...

I was gonna get the bronze, for that hella sick JDM look ...but i really didn't know how it would look...

I also wanted to stay legal..(35% is legal) but the 38+% you couldn't even notice a difference...

here are some pictures. im still iffy on it. i think its a touch to dark. but i heard in a couple days it lightens up a bit...
BEFORE:

lawrence photoshop
