Tinted Windows & parking sensors

joonyar · 31st July 2007, 14:34

I just got my nighthawk black 2.2ES at the weekend & I was gonna get the windows tinted, has anyone got pics of any black ones that have their windows tinted?
Also I was gonna get parking sensors cos I can see more out my sunroof than I can out my back window

anyone got any thoughts?
cheers

as to the parking sensors - do it!

and welcome aboard

Go for the sensors.

I think that you will find them much cheaper than a rear bumper.

Tints will go down well in a NHB, even if you have got the wrong colour!

You don't have to get the windows as heavily tinted. More than one shade!

Hi Joonyar I know its not a NHB but I have the tints on the back and small rear windows see pictures, also have the sensors never regretted having them fitted would be lost without them!
I would think tints on the NHB would look fantastic

After looking about & speaking to people I have decided against the window tinting & it appears it IS illegal to get the driver & passenger windows tinted which I think would make it look a bit daft. I have booked it in to get the parking sensors although not the honda original part but one with a digital display.
Cheers for all your help

Er Thank's

Nooooooo, on a black one it would look a bit daft.
Sorry if you thought I was having a go!
With the black paintwork & tinted windows except on the front 2, I just thought it would be a tad off & stick out like a sore thumb. Strangely enough the place that does it offered to tint the drivers & passenger windows for me!

Only joking no offense taken

Mine had been done by the dealer (ex demo) before i got it.
I think you can have them graduated i.e. darker at the back and then just slightly dark in the front I have seen this on some cars obviously to get past the law and it looks effective. I think the law says as long as you can be seen through the front windows that is OK.

TTDegs · 1st August 2007, 17:14

There is a legal amount which you can tint the front windows too

Errr - I'm not sure what it is though, sorry

Back windows can be black as you want - might get a bit claustrophic though!
