I have a picture but you can't see the winders...I will snap one today and upload it somewhere tomorrow.
It looks sweet. I had the exact tint on my last car. I highly recommend it.....for a couple reasons.....one. it looks great...two..with the slightly lighter front tint you don't get messed with by the coppers....least I haven't....since 99 I have had that tint and my last car was a fixed up civic so you know it would have been nailed.
I got probably 8 fix its...no tint ones.
If you go all the way around one tint...I recommend 35....with 20 it's pretty likely you will get a ticket.

for those with the 35% all around as well as the 20/35 combo, you guys haven't been cited in the bay area yet?
i need to make it out to one of the meets so i can see how dark your windows are.

not me. I had this combo on my civic too so basically I've had teh 20/35 since oct 99. I have been nailed for around 15 fix its and a few other tickets....not one word about the windows.
Most cops...if they can see you they don't care. and if you run the slightly darker in the rears and lighter up front gives more of a not so obvious tint look to the fronts so they don't bother.
When you get pulled over drop both windows and they don't seem to care.
Shoot I hang out at a couple different coffee shops....probably had police walk by my car a couple hundred times. Only comment I ever got was my breaks on my old civic.

Major props to Vince for a great job!
Haven't gotten any trouble from police for the tint, although I'm careful to keep the front windows down when I see them.

but for the sedan like yours, maybe 2 hours, im telling you, its worth all that time though
did you guys see the post by "GotBoost?"? he got cited for 50% window tint. stories like his' make me think twice about tinting the fronts. it's not the money, but the hassle of of the whole citation/signoff process.
