Tinting the small "portals"
 
I'm getting my windows tinted this week and the guy who's doing it said he's done a few 370s... he has pics, but I won't see them until the day I take my car there.

His suggestion was to tint the tiny windows with 5% so they are nearly opaque since they are pretty much unusable anyway. I think I'm going to go this route; that whole area, along with the black surround and A-pillar, would look like one large black panel... I think!

Has anybody done this or seen this? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Mine was done that way without me even mentioning it, i think thats standard nothing special.

I did mine in 35% just like the back. They are so small that even at that they look blacked right out. I think being on the side of the car and a black interior that's what happens. I just asked for those and the back because where I am that's all you're allowed to do.

I did 5% on the front 2 & back and left the little side ones at 20% so i can actually see out of them if the seats not too far back

Mine Is 5% in the back and small side windows. 25% on the other 2

Please do 5%. Please. There's no point in doing any lighter. It's so small. Lol do 5% I promise you'll love it. On the sides you don't have to go as dark, but not as light either cuz IMO it won't flow :/

That looks SICK. I'm sold. My car is Gun Metallic, but I think it'll still look great.

Thanks bro! Mine as well go 5% since the back portals are pretty much useless anyways depending on seat position & I love how mine looks too :)

Yep, I'm pulling the trigger tomorrow. I'll take some pics if the weather doesn't suck so y'all can see it on Gun Metallic.

Here's gun metallic with 5% on the rear portals and 15% everywhere else

not a nismo but still the same windows. Here was my Z with 5%. Like the OP said, those little windows are useless.

My Nismo with 15% all the way around.

Crappy pic, I know. And glare right on the "porthole", but you get the jist of it.

Even at 15% tint, the little ports look totally blacked out.
