awww! you get stopped for compliments??? I knew I shoulda gone the blue and not the red!!! :(

the blue does look nice, but I always had my heart set on red after seeing it in the showroom first

i wonder what tint I will get when my Milano Red Beast arrives. i would like 35% semi mirrored i guess. Whats this formula 1 stuff all about?

Man the Milano Red is sooooo awesome. I could have had a black one by now but I said, no ill wait for the Milano. I reckon its a real head turner :)

I think it will be much cheaper to get others to fit in not factory, and make sure they will put the felt inside the windows otherwise will end up like my friend, change tint twice a year!

Hello everyone! I've just got my new 06 Graphite Euro Lux with "StreetLegal" windows tint from the dealer here in Perth

now on normal conditions I can't see any scratches etc on the tint itself but when the sun directly shines on the window I can see what looks like a curved scratch (as if due to that squegee thingy) on the tint.

Is this something that I should be worried about? The tint appears to be just fine otherwise ....... and is there any way to get rid of that scratch mark myself?

You might be able to remove a bubble in the tint but not a scratch. Go back to the tint shop as that window needs to be redone.

Either that or the window itself is scratched (my driver window was scratched on delivery- only noticed after the car was tinted. Eventually got the window replaced under warranty).

Thanks for that yfin - I might get the dealer to check it out at 1000k's - the windows don't look that bad - so I'll see how it goes!

Does anyone know what brand / type the "streetlegal" tint which the Honda dealers install is?

The job is typically outsourced to a local tint shop. My dealer was using Tint-A-Car a few doors down from the dealership. I ended up going to Tint Professor.

Actually - yes - I noticed that in my glove box was the warranty information for my tinting.
