Post Your Window Tints! - Decision guide for the non-tinted!

Don't you guys suppose to not lower your window for like a day, but for the Z, how do you not lower your window when opening the doors ??

Let it sit for a couple hours right after tinting and then pray. In my case, the passengers side is good so I'll be crawling over for a day or two.

Sit in my car for a couple hours after tinting ?? lolz

Marcus Ryan · 03-26-2010, 04:00 PM

I meant let it sit at the tint shop for a couple hours, but could do worse than sitting in the car I suppose

My Z is due to arrive sometime next week at the dealer hopefully...ordered it in March. But i went out and tinted my old car at limo 5% just to see if it's too dark for my taste or not. It's not, it's actually pretty nice. No visibility problems (unless i'm wearing sun glasses too).

Here's the kicker, i got pulled over the next day!!!!!!

officer: how long you had your tint like that?

Me: since yesterday!

officer: so you can't roll down your window yet eh? (as he's holding the tint meter)

Me: actually no!

I lucked out this time...it was labor day and he let me go with a warning. I was really hoping to do my Z in 5% but now i'm worried

There's nothing to worry about.
Just know that you WILL get pulled over with 5% and be prepared for the hassle and paying the "looking cool tax".
When I bought my Mazdaspeed3, the previous owner had 20% all around and the dealer left it on. I bought the car like that and got pulled over less than a week later. In fact, I got pulled over five times in three months before deciding that looking cool wasn't going to be worth $2080 a year in fines and I reduced the front windows to 70%.

For the record, I haven't even had a second glance from the po-po with the tint I have on the Z.
It's dark enough to provide some relief from the sun and give the car some flavour, but not so dark that I look like I need to get pulled over.
