Thanks! Yea, I had 5% on the windows of my Dodge Ram that I traded in for my Z and I loved it! I never had issues backing up or anything. I have a little bit of issues now, but that's mainly just because I have my mirrors adjusted a bit more out then normal to deal with my blind spots and I can't really see lines in parking spots. I was considering replacing the backup lights with some super bright LED's to help with it.

Got my tints done today. 30% Huper Optik all around, minus the windshield. Wish the sun was out today, but its going to be cloudy for the next few days. I'll take pictures when the sun comes out if wanted.

i love dark tints when its cloudy though, the view from outside of the interior looks all black, looks stealthy.

Hey everyone, I'm going to G5 on saturday in Pasadena, ca.

Does anyone know anything about different film qualities and does it really make a difference? The place I usually go to was about $140 for the whole car (sedan). I'm looking for more info on Huper Optik and whether or not it's worth the price. G5 wants something like $295 for the 370z (and they consider it a half car - full price is something like $395).

I just had my 370 done by G5 yesterday, although I went to the Alhambra location. What sold me about the Huper Optik or any ceramic tints is the significant heat reduction. Although its cooling down in SoCal I can imagine it really helping in the summer.

Yeah, they're booked up at the alhambra location. In anycase I need to go to the apple store so I'll drop my car off and hang out around old town for a little bit.

Just realized our cars are going to look exactly the same. Infact Ricky mentioned you when I made the appointment!

Just got ceramic IR HD tint put on. 35% all around.

I haven't read through all 27 pages of this, but I found this picture online that I think may help people who are undecided; though I think the 5% is a bit exaggerated.
