Honda CR-Z 2011 - 2016 Pre Cut Window Tint Kit T0231

CR-Z stands for Compact Renaissance Zero - Honda's own shorthand for reviving the kind of small sports coupe the brand hadn't built in years, styled as a spiritual successor to the old CR-X from the late '80s and early '90s. It's a hybrid, pairing a 1.5-litre engine with an electric motor, and unusually for that combination it came with a proper six-speed manual as standard rather than being locked into a CVT.

A Wedge Shape Rare Among Hybrids

Most hybrids from this era were built for efficiency first and looks a distant second; the CR-Z went the other way, wearing a low, wedge-profiled coupe body with a steeply raked windscreen and a compact glasshouse more associated with sports cars than economy models. That shape is a big part of why Honda pitched it as a genuine sports hybrid rather than just an efficient runabout.

Panels here are shaped to the CR-Z's own glass rather than adapted from a broader template, so nothing needs trimming once it's out of the packet. Depths for the front pair and the rear screen are picked independently, and the two-layer build sits flatter against that steeply angled rear glass than a single sheet tends to manage. Given how low and glassy the cabin sits, the difference on a bright afternoon is more noticeable here than on a taller, more upright car.

Does tinting the rear glass cut into visibility further on a car whose rear window is already fairly small? It's worth choosing a lighter depth at the back if rear visibility already feels tight - the film itself doesn't distort the view, but the darker end of the range naturally lets less light through, same as on any car.
