Tinting

So I will be getting my windows tinted very soon. I have been talking to some people and they recommended me 30% in the back and 50% in the front.

Default Tinting

So I will be getting my windows tinted very soon. I have been talking to some people and they recommended me 30% in the back and 50% in the front. Is this pretty noticeable? How did you guys do your tinting? Oh, and one more thing, what is considered paying a lot for tinting a 370z?

Any recommendation on tinting? All recommendations are welcome!

I did 30% all around and really like it. If I had it to do over, I'd probably go down to 20% on the rear glass. I don't remember what my price was though because I got a deal with it on my VentureShield.

I got 38% all around and love it. I think 2theextreme has 50% all around and his looks really good, too. I know 50% is the limit in VA.

15% all around and it's the perfect amount of darkness. I just wish I went with Ceramic tint instead, keeps out heat way more effectively.

As you can probably tell, everyone is different and likes different %'s of tints, so it's pretty subjective.

Personally I like it when the tint matches on all windows, it can look kind of odd if you don't.

Default Perfect For me

20% all around here, paid 200$ cash and I love the tint, it's very dark but visibility is not affected at all.

Having said this my car being black makes the %20 looks even darker than it would on another colour...

I highly recommend this setup, many compliments from friends...
