370Z tint?
 
Does anyone have a pic of their 370Z with only the 3 rear windows tinted or can comment on how that would look? Its illegal to tint the side driver and passenger windows where i live. I have tinted my other cars with tint all around but I got pulled over too much by the cops.

U should be ok with 30% tint on the front!! I used to tint for 7 years.. I've only seen maybe one or two customers got a ticket for 30% .. even 20% ain't that dark..

Where I live the cops are notorious with illegal tint in the front regardless of the %. I got pulled over 4 times in 2 years and the tickets are $55 each so I am leaning toward just tinting the back 3 windows.

That's ridulous! Legal limit here is 27% in South Carolina. That's currently what I have bc the previous owner of the car was old. I've had 5% on past cars and 15%. No problems with the cops. Sucks to live where you do I guess because of that lol. But I wouldn't just do those 3 windows personally.

Yeah man I probably wouldn't tint if I couldn't tint the whole car. I'm picky and like things to be the same lol. But it's your car man do what makes you happy :)

370zjames 04-22-2012 11:40 AM

Just go with 32% all around..

Yeah I tinted my windows on both sides here in NJ the ticket is $50. IMO only the small town cops care about it, I've had tinted windows for 7 years and only once did I get pulled over for it. Now I have gotten tickets for it before but that was in place of speeding tickets.

You will have to remove them if you go for that state inspection stations.

Where in NJ are you? Yeah I got pulled over in my other cars by town cops and mostly at night as tint is always darker at night. I dont think I can handle the hassle anymore and being that my new Z is Red, but I love tint!

Romulus1 04-23-2012 10:11 AM

I don't have these problems in NY, only stopped once in 8 years and he let me go. I always just go for 20% all around on all my cars

North Jersey by NYC, yes tints are the most noticeable in the early evening or when its over cast. My tints have always been on the lighter side, I don't like it when people get the super dark tints anyways, its not like I'm driving a limo.

Funny thing is I had less trouble with my red Camaro '97 then I did with my little blue Tiburon.

I am in North Jersey too by NYC. What % tint do you have?

2011 Nismo#91 04-24-2012 07:38 AM

30% I think

kobnj 04-24-2012 12:10 PM

So I decided to go with 35% rear sides/back and with 50% front and passenger windows. I had it done this morning. I think it looks good. The 50% on the front sides looks darker then I thought it would be. He also took the tint meter to my front passenger window before tinting and it read 76% and that is stock.

is it really that bad in nj with the tints? I live on long island and me and my dad have always had tints on all the sports cars weve owned and never get hassled for them. Tints are 20% btw that we usually go with all around

Local town cops are the worst and that's where most of my tickets came from but I also got tickets on the highway. In NY or NYC I never have an issue. I also always did 20% all around or even darker. Now I am too paranoid and went much lighter.

jofro6 04-24-2012 03:00 PM

that blows man... i dont have local town cops out on long island, just county cops and sheriffs, and they never pull me over just for tint. Even in jersey all the time your troopers never both me for my tint either, luckily lol

Viera 04-24-2012 03:45 PM

I did 35% all around, but now I'm thinking about going darker cause I really don't like people staring at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable. If I wanted them to see me, I would just roll my window down lol.

Maybe it's my speedy driving that attracts the cops.. haha

I have gotten more tint tickets then speeding tickets in my life. Havent had a speeding ticket in many years. But I got 4 tint tickets in the past 2 years. Currently i dont have a front plate as I dont have plates yet and debating the whole front plate thing. I had my Z tinted this morning and got 35% side rears/back and 50% front driver/passenger windows.

jofro6 04-24-2012 08:57 PM

why the different % on each window? does nj have different legal limits on them? I know ny even on back windows the law states any tint is illegal

LakeShow 04-24-2012 09:11 PM

I'm currently running no front plate also in NY. I've got 35% all round. Anything more than 35% seems somewhat pointless because 35% isn't even dark at all. People getting 50% and more is not noticeable and no real effect.

NJ doesnt allow any tint on the side front/passenger windows so I wanted to go the lightest on those windows so the cops hopefully wont hassle me and went little darker in the back.

I agree but i have 35% in the back so the 50% fronts look darker and I just cant handle the hassle and ticket fines from the cops if I went darker.

Wabby 370z 04-25-2012 08:58 AM

I have 20% all around my z34 except the windshield. Cops really dont bother you unless its extremely dark and they can't see you. It's a safety reason.
