Yes that does look good: It's got a bronze tint to it. Very Nice. I started with the Grill, Trenz Chrome no logo, painted my calipers and then tinted my windows.

Looks great. Do you think Jersey cops are going to give you tickets for the front windows being tinted?

Most mods start with the tinting. I believe I saw your car in person on Rt.29 coming home from work. I think I saw a wave coming from u but i also was flying by. If that was your car, its got a nice clean look to it.

You can't have your front windows tinted? Or are you talking about the windshield?

BTW, the tint is looking very sharp what percentage did you go with?

Thank you....I went with 35% front and 20% for the rear. We are not allowed to have the driver and front passenger side windows tinted.

You can have your windshield tinted up to 6" depending on your state laws. I have seen full tinted windshields in Florida. I just can't see how they can see out in the night and when it rains. To each its own. Warren

I am actually thinking about doing the whole windshield at about 50% or lighter. Possibly getting some UV protection for the dash and help to keep the dash from getting so hot as well.

I rarely get pulled over for my tint. I believe it happend once a few months ago on the interstate. I thought he was gonna pull me over for speeding, but when he came over to my window, he said, your windows are dark as sh*t. And then i replied, ya, it looks good doesn't it. Then i proceeded to talk my way out of a ticket. My work id helps alot!

Tint is legal in Colorado. (not on the windshield) but with 50-65% it will hardly be noticeable. 27% is the legal limit, mine are at 20%. This will be my second car with 20%. I never have been pulled over for tint.

On the safe side, I always slide my sky view open when I see the police...just in case.

Looks great!

My Tint is definately illegal. I've got 5% on the rear and back windows and 12% on the front two. I've seen cops eyeing me all the time. I always drop my windows if I see them coming. On my last Maxima (5th gen) I had 20% all around, but the 6th gen just needed to be darker. Before my 5th Gen Max I had a '97 Firebird, formula V8. Since it was two doors I just did 12% all around. I got pulled over for speeding and the cop was trying to hammer me for everything (music to loud, exhaust to loud, etc...). Right when I think it finally over he asked me to roll up my windows...And then with the hands of a surgeon, he proceeded to write his TOO DARK with his keys though my tint. (He then tried to to my rear glass, but I cautiously reminded him the back glass has not darkness limit.)

Oh well, if they do that on this baby....well....I'll just have to get it redone. It looks to damn good.

Apallos2, I live in Aurora, I thought tint was legal to 4" on the winshield. I'm looking to do mine this weekend. I want to be positive before I go. Where did you get yours done? I'll prolly run to Maddox at Quincy and Parker. What did you do about the 3rd brake light? Can you tint over it?

He didn't key my car. He was scrapping the window tint off. He told me I could keep it like that or go have it professionally removed. They tend to do that down here. Southern Justice, I guess.

Xerius, sorry I didn't mean completely illegal for the windshield, just for the entire windshield. You can do some tint at the top. Not sure what the limit is though. The tint place should know that. I went right over the 3rd brake light.

I got mine done at a place at aprox 5200 South Broadway.
