someone said dark back lighter in the front

Every car i have ever had i have had tinted,my last 4 Hondas Crv,S2000,Accords have all been tinted allround by Honda themselves.I have been stopped by police over the years for other things and they have never questioned the tints.I was told once that as long as they can see you and you are not driving like a maniac theres no problem with tinting.I`ve always gone for Smoke which is the mid range colour.I used to do it myself years ago when glass was flat,not with todays curves.One of the reasons the rear lower plastic cannot be done is that if you wanted to remove the tint an acid is used to remove the adhesive,this would obviosly melt the plastic.I have trading in several cars back to Honda and they have said that the value doesnt alter because of tints.Only having the rear of the car tinted looks like its half finished.Get it done ,no squinting in the mid day sun.

thanks for the tip, the guy said dark at back and lighter at front , but im thinking take your advice, does it make it darker inside and what was the cost, thanks for the help

Around £500.Remember the front sides will always look lighter because of the screen

sco77harris · 30th April 2007, 22:37

wow thats a lot i can have it done for al ot less by a firends dad, i think ill take that route

Make sure you get the quality film, because there is the cheap stuff.Youll know when the windows come down and scratch it.

£500 is a rip off. Go to a good quality independant window tinter and they will charge a maximum of £300 to do all round(fronts upto legal limit) and around £189 for just the rears.

Honda are just adding on a huge whack like usual.
