I got 15% all around. Its one step above limo. 20% is legal here in Florida. They pretty much leave you alone, unless you get pulled over for something else. Me personally, I don't think its dark enough...

30% on the sides and 15% on the rear

i'm not saying it's the best combo, it's just what was recommended to me by the installer of my clear bra. i had told him that i don't want something you can't see out of(what the hell is the purpose of that) and for the rear glass i went with the darkest possible without taking away from me not being able to see when backing into my garage. this is the 1st vehicle i had ever had the tint installed on and i am pretty happy with it!!!!!do whatever best suits your needs and wants, another thing the state troopers around here luv pulling you over for crap like tint too dark and i didn't want to deal with that bullshitt

It depends how much HP you want to gain. the less light that can enter your car the faster it will be.

thanks for the input.

lucky bastard with those < 30%. those look sick. i wish i didnt lived in california. lol

well im going to go with 35% sides, 30% rear, none on the front. usually i drive this car during the night when all the popos are out. hopefully it wont attract any of them.

one question....what if u bought a new car from a dealer that already has a tint on it and the % on it is not legal for that state? does it come off the car or not?

They usually don't tint the car unless you get it afterward and want it on it. They will not go beyond illegal. Cuz they don't want to be held responsible.

here in va legal limit is 35

I dont like when some windows are darker than others. Not my taste.

i have 5% all around in OC/LA/SD, havent gotten a ticket yet.but let me tell you something.you really cnt see **** with that tint, especially backing up in an apartment garage, get 20/25 darkest, don't get any darker then that.

Zerafian

your in cali so I would think nothing darker then 20% just to be safe. I have 5% but everyone in Orlando has 5% so the cops dont really care.

I am getting my tint done on Saturday... 35% Llumar ATC all around. Would it be better to go 15% on the back? Also, would 30% be much different?

Since the Z has less interior light in the rear, the hatch window always looks darker than the rest of the windows especially cars with black interior.
If you like to have even darkness on all windows, I would do the hatch 1 tint lighter than the front window (e.g front & side 35%, hatch 40 or 50%)

one thing for sure is you want 5% in back and rear windows, no reason not to.... 70% in front, you might as well not waste money tinting. i did 20% which looks great with the 5% rear tints, but of course you dont go side by side with a cop car without rolling down the windows....
