Get those windows tinted first! ?
Should I do 50% all around? Trust me, I want to but Cali tint laws lol. I know most people in Cali don't care and tint their windows anyways but I just don't want to give the cops any reason at all to pull over a lowered civic.

I got 20 or 25% all around except for windshield and I actually plan on throwing another non-ceramic layer to make it darker lol. The thing about Cali tint laws...almost anything you get will be against the law since the threshold is 88% for aftermarket tint and 70% if you have factory tinted windows. Anything within those limits is a waste of money tbh since you won't really see a difference. So, might as well go as dark as you want now and worry about the highly unlikely chance of getting a ticket later.

Wow, Cali tint laws are pretty ridiculous.

While I personally hate mismatched tint, I guess you could do 70% front / 50% rear / 35% rear windshield. It would probably blend well.

Make sure you get a high quality ceramic film. Xpel, LLumar and 3M are some good brands that I can think of off the top of my head.

Damn ... that's restrictive as hell!
Florida allows 28% light transmission ... but I went with 35% ceramic, all around (except windshield ... no tint there, not even the banner at the top). But I agree ... if 88% is the limit, then it's kinda a waste of time.

I had to take out my Helix from Unity Performance side markers ?

My wheel setup rubbed and damaged a corner, and it filled with water ?

Cheap tinted eBay backups in now
