window tinting?

[Anonymous]

I have the entry level (LX) CR-V. I love it and I don't need anything fancy which is why I got the LX. I just don't like how the second row windows and rear window have absolutely no tint at all. The higher trims (Ex, Ex-l, etc.) do have shaded windows. I feel like my car is a fish bowl. If I wanted to go about getting the back windows tinted like they are in the higher trim models, could I do that? I do NOT want super dark tint, or the front windows tinted, or anything liek that. I don't like that look. Just the regular factory-level tint that comes in the more expensive models. Would the dealer do that for me? How much would it cost?

Yes, go to any tint shop. The dealer will not do this for you.

I’ll say that a tinted driver side window makes me less likely to wave you “in.”
While I was driving in pretty heavy traffic. At a small intersection, a car had stopped and was preparing to turn into my lane. I gave them a “go ahead” wave… and waited, and waited, but this car didn’t proceed. So, I continued their tinted window absolutely interfered with the interaction.

Which state are you in? Tint laws differ by state. MD allows 35% tint all around. VA allows I believe 35% on every window except the front driver and passenger ones which can only be 50%. I’m in Maryland and got mine done 35%. I think it looks better and does provide some degree of privacy even if it’s not perfect. It also helps keep the car cooler in the summer. It was 5 years ago and cost $170. I imagine it’s closer to 200 or 250 now with inflation. That’s for everything except the windshield being tinted at 35%.

You can buy some cheap tint on ebay and just lay it over the windows to see what level you would want.

Are you a moron? Would a dealer tint your windows? 🤦‍♂️
