Got my windows tinted! Pics inside

With the Z's blind spots possibly being a problem already....how much harder are the tints making your driving?

I could imagine at night, changing lanes and also reversing could be much harder with the tints?

I'm getting a black 370 like yours too and I plan on getting 5's but having second thoughts because it's hard to see out of the car to begin with.

Moderate tints don't make the car harder to see out of, they just make it harder to see into, so your worries about tints affecting changing lanes and reversing are unfounded, unless you go for extreme tinting.

If you're concerned about reversing, get parking sensors or a reversing camera.

All I'd say is, if you're new to Z's, be very aware of the width of the wheel arches - It's a wide car and easy to scrape.


...oh, and go for the tints (if it's legal!!! ), but don't go too dark.

My buddy got 15's (like the OP got ) on his impreza.

At night, it was IMPOSSIBLE to see anything out of the back while looking through the rear view mirror.

Tints most certainly do affect how hard it is to see out of a car. Have you ever been in a dark tinted car brotha?

I disagree. I had 15% on my last car for 2 1/2 years and there was very little difference in visibility. The Z is the same. Perhaps the tints were different brands or types than what I have/had.

well nah that's actually good news for me

i'll be doing 5% on my 370 most likely. 5's are dark as shitttttttt

Exactly right, it makes very little difference at all. I really like it at night because it keeps the glare down. This car still needs a back up camera though.

Where I live its legal to tint the rear whatever you want but not the sides. The issue they say is the safety of the police officers walking up to a vehicle and not being able to see in. I ran 35% tint all around in my white '81 280ZX - tint really makes a car look sharp IMHO and the darker the better. I almost always drove with at least the driver side down and the rare times I did get pulled over I made sure both windows were rolled down.

I found driving at night there was no problems with visibility with the windows rolled up. The only time I noticed where people with questionable eyesight might have problems is where there was NO tint in the driver/passenger (eg windows rolled down) then shoulder checking through the tinted windows. When all the windows were the same it was fine.
