Actually I have measured the front windows untinted and were consistent at 74% for both sides. With that it would be illegal to tint the front windows on the CivicX in Cal. However, the perception also has to do with the color of your car and interior color. Dark interiors will make a tint look darker and vice versa. I have 14 Civic with black interior and higher VLT than my 16 and my 16 looks lighter due to the lighter grey interior. Honest tint shops will tell you that you can't tint the front Windows but most will with whatever you want.If you're in California, be ware that it's suppose to have 70% pass through legally in the front windows only, the back can any tint %. When I get my new Civic, I would probably do 50+% for the front Windows and 35+% in for the back/rear. I'd rather keep it light and legal.
FYI. The rear Windows are 78%.
