I hate tint honestly, I went with clear tint just to protect the inside and keep the uv’s out
The better nighttime visibility , safety and feeling connected with the surroundings does overrule the sleeker look of tint. Also, without tint you don’t have to worry about those annoying spiderweb lines you get as tint scratches, plus not turning purple.

I'll need to tint for sure. Nothing too dark, but I like the feeling of being closed in. Odd I know. I won't go too dark. Nothing past the mod 30s.

Is the glass on the he CTR yellow tinted? Typically I can spot a Japanese made Honda by the yellowish glass on the car versus North American made. Difficult to tell in photos.

I'm not a huge fan of window tint; however, living in the Southeast it's hard to imagine life without tint. The sun is just too intense in June-September. Look into Spectra Photosync by Prestige Film Technologies. I've had it on three cars previously and it's hands down the best film on the market even after all these years. Their 55 VLT film outperforms most competitors 35 VLT film so you can go much lighter without sacrificing performance. Also, most reputable films are scratch resistant and will not turn purple because they're color stable. The film that bubbles up and turns purple is that side of the road special for $199 for all four windows. A proper tint job with a high quality film will run you no less than $500.

I just get the legal limit tint for my state which I believe is 35 percent front and 20 percent in the rear. Can’t do the limo or 5 percent type stuff. To dark at night

True. Otherwise people wouldn't be able to see the cool guy driving the CTR.

The best way to sell you is you'll have to see it in person :)
I think that's the only way to appreciate it's real beauty.
I understand in picture it may be a bit flamboyant, but it person, it is :), but in the best way possible!
Don't sign it off until you see it in person, or get the color you want else where.
good luck, and here's a picture of her hips :nixon:

I love this. Im thinking of putting in a 10mm spacer with the new spoon springs but a little worried about the spacers themselves. Do you know if they are any kind of safety issue or do they wear down the suspension more quickly?

i actually prefer no spacers unless it's like a 3mm or 5mm to clear a caliper

10+ will compromise wheel bearings long term
