after hearing more and more about the 20 i may just go that route... have a spoiler coming sometime this week -- it should be on by friday... i'll be sure to post some pics... right now the stock version is on my www... though i just put on the 2002 tail lights

 

I have 20% in the rear and sunroof and 35% on the front. I believe 35 is the legal limit here in WA...but I haven't had any problems. Having it dark in the rear really darkens up the front...just don't forget the roof!

 

another tint related question... any experiences with shops in the atlanta area? i just want to make sure i get a good tint job done

 

Representing THE SLC!!!!

 

i know a good place and you can get a good deal...the only problem is that you live in athens, unless your coming back towards atlatna for the weekend. Let me know if ur interested.

 

I've gotten pulled over twice for my tint. Cop was just crusing around and pulled me over just for my tint. I had to go to court because 15% all around was illegal.

 

I have 28% Formula 1 tint. That is what I am told is the legal limit in Colorado. Basically I am happy with that, as it is not too dark....but if I had to do it over again, I would probably go with the 35%. I think interior color makes a difference too. I have a Glacier Pearl with frost interior....so that tends to make the tint appear a little lighter. Whatever you do, I recommend using a metallic tint...as they are usually guaranteed against fading or changing color. I would also recommend they do the rear window in 1 piece....that way you don't have to worry about any separation. One other thing....I do get more reflection now, when looking out the side mirrors. Not a major issue....just takes some getting used to. Good luck!

 

I go back to atlanta a lot... so yeah, def. interested in it!

 

35% reflective is the way to go......more UV protection and privacy ..

 

shoot me a pm

 

WhoA wait... for the new jersey people.. MaximaPolak, you can have 35% in the front?! i thought that you cant have any in the front and what ever you want in the back. Am i wrong? could of sworn i am right cuz i have a 93 max that had like i dunno 60% it was REALLY light. I didnt even notice it until the guy at the DMV told me to take it off.

 

I had 20% on my 92 SE-R. got about 5 tickets. Got 35% NOT ONE. Got my max..1st mod..TINT. %...35. Darker is better, no doubt. But, seeing at night sucks, and tickets suck.

see sig for my max with 35%.

 

I can hardly see at night with my 5s in the rear. Like I said, I love my tints.(5% rear, 35% front.) Looks great on the car when it's cleaner than now.

 

NICE looking car man... very classy looking

 

What brand are your tints? Very nice on your car..BTW, go with 20%!

 

thanks!

 

out of curiosity... any pics with 35% front and 20% back? would the two tone be noticeable?

 

You are correct... In NJ you can paint the back windows with plack paint if you want, but don't touch the front and expect to pass inspection!!!

Unless you know someone with a reinspection garage of course...

 

YES... And I kick myself everyday for not tinting the front of my Vue in 20%!!!

Actually, the difference is probably less noticeable if you have a dark interior, but of course mine is light grey...

 

Remember, different angles of the same car/tint will show different results. For example, I have 17% tint all around. See the differences in the shots?





Keep in mind also that because the back window is tinted and the windshield is not, the tint in the back will look slightly darker than the tint in the front, even if the tin % is the same all around.

 

I have 35%. No problems with the cops. BTW the legal limit in Ohio is no tint!!! I wish I would've went with 20%. What I mean is that IMO the light frost interior reflects light and makes the 35% look lighter. Just my $.02.

 

completely but how did you install that 350Z Dead Pedal? the prior owner of my car seemed to have muddy feet all the time! I'm looking for a replacement...

 

I got 32% Endurance tint(Nichrome)all around on my Max,and I love it.Before I got 20% titanium all around on my 91 Intergra,it's too dark and and hard to see at night.I wouldn't put 20% on my rear windshield againt.This pics was taken on a very Sunny afternoon.

 

I like my 35% tint, its legal and it looks good. If I could go back and do it again tho, I'd go with 20% cause IMO it looks sharper on a white car. Here is the 35% on my car:

 

Anyone have any pics of 27% metallic reflective tint on a silver car?
I don't really want 20% just for night visibility but I have 35% on another car and it's pretty much not even worth it. I think reflective tint looks good on silver (and only on silver) cars.

Since I'm moving out of state in < 6mo I figure I'd better wait until after I've registered in my new state so the DMV there doesn't give me crap.

 

17% is not that bad at night. If you have half a brain, you would roll your windows down on a dimly lit street, or if you live in the sticks. So if 17% isn't bad, 20% should be even better. 5% is bad, yes, but 17-20% should not be problematic.

 

how you guys can see outside with dark tints? I was in my friend car that got 32% I think and i cant see very well... its depends what kind tints you got? or all the same?

 

i was GOING to get black 20% on my car but after seeing BCKNBLCK max, Llumar all the way!! (in the back only tho) Any one have more pics of this llumar tint on thier car?

 

alas the only llumar shop is about 70 miles away... in the boonies...

 

Go with 20%...Just right!

 

Just letting everyone know - Went with the 20% Llumar tint... I'll get some pics up soon... have to wash my car so it looks presentable... been really rainy down here

 

Just my 2 cents: I have 35% tint but it still looks pretty dark because of the black interior. Even the sunroof was done with the same tint.

Whatever you decide to do, do the whole car with the same darkness. Otherwise, the contrast will get cops' attention.

 

black se rims???? u paint em????

 

cops in atlanta dont really care about tint i use to have 5% on one of my other cars before only place cop mess with you is down south in lil towns

 

but 5% tint does look ghetto

 

Whatever you do, do it the same % all around. I don't know how strict they are over there, but i'm running 13% and it's perfect. Night visibility is perfect as well, i don't see how some people say it's too dark?

LEMAR

 

i have Llumar and i'd rather not attract the police by going 20%. 27% in back and 35% all around is fine with me
