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?

Will that "cure" out or is there an optically superior film I could use? It's not bad, just noticeable.

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.

20% all around and front strip... sorry for no straight shot of the back, but ill get one if you guys want it.

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

30 all around with front window tint and visor strip to make the front window not seem tinted.

20% Suntek Carbon all around

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!
