Hey everyone ..I was glad to see that there was a tab for the passport on the Ridgeline owners forums,,I was a little sad when it was time to return my leased 2017 rtl-t Ridgeline that there wasn't going to be a site like that one for the passport..I learned and got a lot of info for that truck and I hope that I can help and get the same from this forum.This is number 6 for me( 2 accords 2 pilots and a Ridgeline...)Any way I just picked up my 2019 passport touring in lunar silver & black leather last night and I love it ..just got the front windows tinted this morning.. next im looking to get a trailer hitch for my bike rack and figure out how to sell my peragon truck bed cover from my Ridgeline..

What percentage tint do you go with? I have an appointment for mine. Can’t decide if I want to darken up the back half tint and get the fronts at 35% (NC limit) or just try to match up the front to what the back half is.
I went with 35% one time on another car and I could not see thru the glass at my mirrors at night,,I went back the next day and had them do it all over again to 20%..I think the 20s match more than the 35s with the rears..

I was trying to articulate this not nearly as well as you did. Thank you. One thing I hate about NC tint laws is the darkest the front can be is 35% so I have no hope of matching anyway so do I just make the back darker too since it’ll never match? Then there’s the heat rejection aspect to consider. I can get 85% heat rejection tint, but if I only tint up front but does it even matter if I don’t also get the back done with the same heat rejection tint?
My bad ..I always thought the higher you went the darker ..I have to go back to him to do my wifes car soon ,Ill ask him..maybe it was 15s or 10s that I put on that time..I know when I walk in I told him I wanted 20s..
Yea, that’s what I’ve gotten on my last 3 vehicles. I just realized when I set the appointment and got the quote this time, based on the price, they must have assumed I meant only the front windows. But with ceramic I might as well get the whole thing done for it to be most effective, right? Since the darkness can’t match anyway...
I have the pearl black paint. I am going to tint the front windows. Does anybody know what tint % they use on the back from factory? I live in Indiana and you can only use up to 30% on front windows. I want to get close to the back window tint.
I may also do a very light tint on windshield then about a four inch darker visor tint on the top of windshield.
Where are all the northern California folks? I see Passports of any color on the road.
I've got some mods, look good, intended for worse than usual dirt roads - not had a chance to test that yet though :-(.
Anyone else around me?
I drove my new Passport Elite (Lunar Silver) off the lot yesterday. I traded in my 2012 4Runner w/ 109K miles on it. 4Runners are bulletproof and I'm sure it would have gone another 100K with no trouble at all, but my wife was tired of the truck-like handling and feel, and I wanted to finally...
I thought it might be interesting to create one thread where we could list where we are located, city or county and state, we have dozens of threads, but not one that captures multiple owners, I'll go first:
Orange County, California
Picture is from when I first picked it up about a month ago. Have a little over 1k miles on it now. Have enjoyed the extra space and room and quietness after coming from a buzzy Honda Fit. Gas mileage is about what I expected. Did get 27 mpg all highway on one tank. Have added Maxliner...
Just traded my 2013 Pilot Touring for a 2020 Passport Touring Modern Steel Metallic, literally 7 hours ago. Loved my 2013 Pilot and had intended to look at/buy the 2020 Pilot Touring. With just the wife and I however we hardly used the 3rd row seating in the last 7 years, we maybe used the...
