Actually, all automotive glass blocks out UVB rays - the kind that are primarily responsible for sunburn and skin cancer. Windshields are treated to give some protection against UVA as well - the kind that cause aging of the skin and play a role in the development of skin cancer.

Well, if we're concerned about cooling a car, then we need to reflect IR. That's what makes the sunshine feel hot. That's why shade is cooler. A reflective IR surface applied to the outside surface of window glass would effectively put the window under shade.
Actually, it would be pretty cool if our paint also had a layer of such a tint applied as the final layer. Cars would be a lot cooler inside.

By tinted windows, I meant a somewhat darker tint, the kind that gets put on windows because you specifically want the windows to look darker. Now, my question is can Acura do that? I know they would take the car to an outside place to have it done, but do you think it can be negoiated? I'd love to have it done before picking the car up, that's why I ask.

Any dealer can provide you with the service. They will probably send it out or they have someone who comes in and does it.
Can you negotiate - I'm sure you can try.
Why not just have it down after you pick it up? I'm sure in places where everyone tints, it'll take a couple of hours of your time.

I see you asked the same question in our Prices Paid discussion for the TSX. Since that is the right place for you to pursue this, I'm going to ask that anyone who might have a response for you reply to the post at this link - meg9713, "Acura TSX: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" #1691, 29 Jun 2005 5:41 pm - instead of here.
Good luck!

I've had too many friends who have been stung at the end of a lease because of mileage or revised resale value.
I've never heard of anyone getting burned at the end of a lease because of "revised resale value". I believe that most car leases these days are closed end leases where the leasing company assumes the risk for fluctuations in a car's resale value. The customer (lessee) is only responsible to make the payments and for any damages in excess of "normal wear and tear". Excess mileage over the amount allowed in the agreement would of course, be the responsibility of the lessee.

I am not sure, but I think tinted windows in CA is illegal or restricted.

In CA, it's only illegal to tint the front side windows and the windshield. Tint of any darkness may be applied to the rear side windows or rear window.
