I want 10% in the front and 5% in the back. Does anyone know around what this should cost me? I would also like to get the front done but I don't know of any places that actually tint the front? Is there a special place I have to go?
Either of those tints is going to be nearly black and really hard to see at night. If you're going that dark why not do the front and back same %? tint that dark is illegal in most places, but the shops will probably do what you ask. Call around and make sure. In PA the shops do tint and it doesn't seem to matter it's not legal. They may warn against 10% in the front because that's going to come out around 3% including factory tint. It's a hazard and cop magnet imo. Whatever you do, post pics when you're done!

Anyone know the brand and quality of the Honda dealership tints? Just bought a 2017 Aegean blue Civic Sedan LX and thinking of having the dealer install the tints.

Probably varies by dealership. My dealership doesn't actually install it they have a local company come in aND do it

I don't know the brand, but it is a good quality tint. Mines looking great after a year, and definitely keeps it cooler inside.

Does the tint shop have to remove the 70% factory tint or can they layer it, I am going to get 20 percent I wouldn't mind if it turned out darker. I've dealt with my shop before and they are good. I forgot to tell them it's factory tinted though.

I'm taking mine in next week to get done. 18% ceramic all around. On the windshield, an 18% visor with... I think it was 80% ceramic over the rest of the windshield just to knock down the heat a bit. $470 for the lot. I can't remember the brand... but I used the same place and brand of ceramic, but 33%, on my 9th gen and it was great for the ~2 years I had it with one take back for them to work a couple imperfections out of the tint on the rear windows a few weeks after install. I didn't do the windshield that time and figured what the hell, as it knocked the heat down in the car substantially but the dash/steering wheel/shifter would still get pretty hot from direct sunlight here in GA.

Now... I'll just cross my fingers that the thin windshield doesn't get broken within the week...
