cant decide on tint
 
I have a pearl white 370z with back interior. And Im thinking about going to get my car tinted this weekend. This is my first time tinting a car so I dont know what % to go with. What do you guys think I should go with?

I was thinking that maybe I can get away with 40% side and maybe 30-35 for the rear.

CA law : None / 70% / ANY% / ANY%

Do 5% all around

Luckily, he didn't notice the 75% on the front windshield. Your lucky if the cops don't care where you live. You should tint the front too if you haven't already. Looks good tho.

Id say 25-35% is great. Check out that sticky though, I made that thread exactly for people like you.

Make sure you know the tint laws for your state. Depending on where you live, the locals might be hard on dark tint.

I have a white Z and have yet to tint it, but I'm thinking of doing it this year. I probably won't go darker than 35%.

I'm 15% all around minus the windshield here in Los Angeles. Never been pulled over specifically for tint and hasnt been brought up when I did get pulled over. *knock on wood*

Edit: pics are in sig. Though they're taken in an indoor parking lot.

Is there anything specific you should tell the installer such as the window going down when you open the door?

molamann 03-03-2010 01:43 PM

Doesn't hurt to mention it but my installer was already aware of it and I had mine done in feb of last year.

Anyone here every use or hear of anyone having problems with ceramic tint?

fullmonty 03-03-2010 02:27 PM

I have 20% on all windows but the windshield. Came out a little darker than expected but I'm pretty happy with it.

I have 30% Huper Optik ceramic all around (sides, mini side windows, and rear) and 60% Huper Optik ceramic on the entire front windshield. I love it. I haven't had any problems whatsoever and it seems to keep out more heat than the 5% carbon all around on my Civic. :tup:

I would recommend 35% or 40%
it is not too dark and not too light.
