Looking for photos of 45% tint

twyrick · 04-10-2017, 03:07 PM

I just had my Nismo done with 42% tint on it. (The guy at the tint shop said to ensure it's legal tint, most people go with 50%. The factory has some amount of tint to the original window glass - but he couldn't see where Nissan actually stated the percentage anyplace stamped into a corner of the glass, like some manufacturers do. In any case, he said it usually amounts to somewhere between 10% and 15%.) He said he had the 42% tint available and it would typically wind up still keeping you *just* below the legal tint limit (at least for here in Maryland). Even if it went over due to combining with manufacturer's original window tinting, it would only be 1%-3% over. So not enough to call any attention to it.

Mine is Pearl White though, not black ... so not sure if that's helpful?

Yes, I did check and I could not find anyone with anything higher than 35% tints in that whole thread. I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find a Z with 45% or 50% tints. Hopefully someone will see this thread.

The side windows are marked AS2.
AS2 factory VLT is 70-75%.

If your trying to stay legal and your state's limit 50%, you have to find out whether it's "50% total" or "50% film." They're different.
