I'm in CT (kind of like Chicago weather), and I wanted my EX to look Factory stock. All SUVs come Factory with 20% Tint on rear passenger windows back. I had toyed with 35% all around (except windshield), but decided on the Factory stock look instead. Paid $150 out the door, tax included. Here's a good link:

Installer used Johnson (manufacturer brand). Whatever you do, do NOT get metallic tint. It messes with your radio and you will wind up with some static.

Good luck.

thank you very much for your advise i guess me ex is what you exactly want it.. just plain stock.only reason i want to do tint is that when i put stuff in the trunk, anyone can see thru window. i just don't want someone to break the window and just find out that there are nothing valuable but the vehicle itself. loli don't need any fancy color or anything. just black so that no one can see whats inside of the vehicle.

thank you very much again for your help tho.

I did limo black on all but the front windows and windshield. I did it through the dealer (in Libertyville) who has a third party that specializes in this type of work. I left the car in the morning and picked it up after work and it set me back ~$200.

You'll have to check, but I heard that the tinting laws recently changed in IL now enabling the front windows to be tinted now...

Any way you guys can post pictures of your EX's with dark tints, Idk if 20% or darker tints will make a While Colored EX look smaller in size.
