Going to get tint done tomorrow. I'm thinking 35% on sides and 5% on the back. Eventually I want to vinyl wrap the roof so I want the top of the car to look like one solid piece.

My question is, do you think the 35% will look off compared to the 5% in the back+gloss vinyl wrapped roof?

I guess another option is to put in factory tinted glass. I saw a tinted hatch on the 2012 nismo the other day at the dealer.
Wavy is normal when you just finished tinting. After it gets dried out(maybe 5 days depends on the temperature) the wavy thing should be gone.

It's funny that almost all the 35% tint pix posted here look much darker than what it really is. Maybe it depends on the light and angle.

Yeah darker tint always looks good on SR especially in the sun.

Just got 15% all around today. It's pretty dark, but during the day, you can just make out the outline of a person and the interior looking at it from the rear. At night, it looks like limo tint. Windows down or interior lights on when driving around the 5-0!

Depends on quality of tint and where you get it done. I'd say average is anywhere from $150-$300. I paid $200 for my 15%. Go to a dealership and that same job would be $500...my buddy didn't listen to my advice and took his ISF to get tinted at a dealer. Cost him almost $600. Ridiculous.

Great thread. Exactly what I need to see to decide on my tint percentages.
