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

I have Huper Optik ESC 35 on the sides and hatch. The work was done by Kroehl at Atlantic Tint Worx in Point Harbor, NC. He did a great job, was very professional and allowed me to take pictures during the install.

getting mine done tmw morning at 9! im getting 20% all the way around..when the door opens and the window comes down a lil and goes back up does that effect the tint when its first done at all?

Nope. Should be fine.

My car came with tinted windows. Did you guys tint over them? Have the tint removed and retinted? just curious. Id have had them tinted a bit darker than what came with the car.

You should remove the tint first and clean the window and re tint.

I just got mine done. 25% on side and 5% on qtr and backlite. Post pics soon.

Just got the tints done today!

Very happy with the result, keeping it classy with the 35% on the windows, went 20% on the back, and did 35% on the windshield. My dude Manny from Total Tints in Hartford hooked me up!

Hey Nice tails thinking of smoking mines as well, do the tail and brake lights still illuminate well enough so that people behind u can see at night?

NMJAXX9 Yea at night they bleed light just as much as if they were not smoked. I thought the same thing when i saw them. It looks sick at night. You should def. smoke yours. Also they are painted not tinted. On my 350z i had bluebatmoble tint which is a great product, but switched it up and went with paint. Also removing the thrid brake light on the 370z is not easy, it very easy to break. There is DIY third brake light removal on the forum that helped me alot.Good luck

IC, yeah I dont want to paint them because of the permanent issue, if i get pulled over, and ticketed I can peel it off if its a vinyl but with the paint...im screwed. I thought yours was vinyl, but it looks good regardless! I think ill go back to Manny, the guy who did my windows he said he smokes taillights also (with vinyl)

ATL_370Z · 08-19-2011, 03:37 PM

^ Got a good point there. I havn't had any trouble yet. "Knock on wood" Post a pic of the vinyl if you get it done, I'd like to see the turn out.

I think you will get pulled over for the windows before you will the tails.. I got snagged twice in my silver 370 with 20% all the way around and 38% on the windshield.
