I don't have 20%, I have "35" % and blades has 35%....

so we will have to stick with being color blind

But if we stick with being color blind, then all 370Z's that have window tint and tinted tail lights will be identical

b1adesofcha0s · 06-10-2011, 04:16 PM

hahaha...

Just my personal opinion, 35% is nice, most likely legal around here, Im not sure what the laws are, each state is different. But I had to have 20%, I like for people not to be able to see clearly into my car. Thats just me, though.

I would like to have it darker, but not too dark so I could still see at night and in bad weather. Never gotten tint on a car before so I didn't know how bad t would have been for less than 35%. Now I kind of wish I had gone darker.

20% is perfect, its dark enough, from the outside looking in, all you can see is a person's sillouhette, and literally you have to look really hard and very close to see whats inside of the car.

And at night, its not too dark to see out of, you can get get different grade variants for tint, 5% being the darkest, and considered "limo" tint. Then it goes up from there. 5/15/18/20/30/35 etc.. I might have missed a few, and in all actuality different companies make different levels of tint.

I will probably go with 20% for my next car. Also the car's color can make the tint look lighter or darker as well.

Very true..

So Im getting closer to ordering the OEM spoiler and the illuminated kick plates, everytime I go to order them, some damn bill pops up on me..

Bills come first, unfortunately.

I just went with the 35as that's legal here in VA. They are quick with the tickets here for anything darker.

Would this be true for non VA tag holders also that are driving in VA?

Yes sir. The law applies to anyone operating a vehicle in VA, regardless of where it is registered. We are also the only state where it is illegal to have a radar detector.

Best thing to do would be to not give them a reason to pull you over.

I'd say the best thing I would do if I had illegal tint, which I do, and I were to get pulled over, i'd immediately put both windows down even before I came to a complete stop. I would think you'd be less likely to receive that ticket for tint.

Yeah, but the tail lights are kinda obvious
