Default different shade window tints

does anyone have medium dark in the front and limo black in the back window of a 01-05 coupe? The guy at the shop told me it would look nicer to have all 5 windows the same color so I got medium dark but is it uncommon to have two different shades next to each other?

Not uncommon. Its actually better to have a lighter shade in front because its illegal in most places to have the front tinted a lot

well they reassured me my tint is the lightest shade and I shouldn't get a ticket for it.
so I was wondering would it look shabby if I had light tint on the two front windows, and limo dark to matcht the color of my black car for the two small passanger windows and light tint on the back window. (01 civic coupe) thanks

That sucks. Everything except the windshield can be tinted pretty dark here.

As for the different shades, just do them all the same. It'll look odd.

I have my windows tinted differently, the back is limo and the doors are1 up from it. I wouldnt putlimo on the front, it would be way to dark at night.

thanks for the example. Your car looks pretty good. I might get limo on the back sides like yours so that it looks like I have no back window (matching up with my paint) I think mine is 2-3 up from limo, they said it was medium and the lightest shade they offered. Anyone else have any ideas on different shades?

It'll be safer too for driving at night if you put the lighter up front.

oh yeah i have the lighter up front already, but i'm in debate if I should darken the rear passenger windows or I should just leave the front and passenger and back the same shade.

and heres the after product. I'm thinking about getting the back windows redone to completely match the paint of my car - making it look like I have no back window. Anyone think this is clever or am I nuts?

I say go for the 5% tint in the back and leave the front the way it is.
