How dark should I tint my Z?

35% for me is perfect, plus it's the legal limit percentage here in Texas. Make sure you get Ceramikool tint or Llumar both are worth it.

I appreciate it, was told it was 35% by my installer, he installed my clearbra too, still 35% is perfect for me. I couldn't have asked for a better job on both tint and clearbra (hours of researching the best installer in your city helps). No vision issues at all, and people still have to look extra hard to see me inside. Also, i've never been a fan of extremely dark tint.

My car came with 35% 3m high end tint all around. I had it redone. 35% is the dealer protocol for my dealer. Every car on the lot has tint.

I ordered my 2012 370Z, as you can see in my avatar that sticker in the windshield is to be removed by the owner only, the PDI hadn't even been done, it was done when all of my mods were complete, told them not to touch her didn't want dealer installed swirls. After taking delivery of her, I did notice a few cars on the lot with tint. After seeing mine once i brought her back to have baker tuning install my mods , the service department manager asked me who did my tint because their installer wasn't nearly that good, and that he was looking for someone who was good at doing a clearbra (clearbra was for his own personal car though).
