What % tint would make it impossible to see inside the interior on a sunny day?

BlkNismo 03-04-2013 04:31 PM

none, even limo tint (5%) can you see thru ever so slightly at the right angle on a suny day.

Question for you. I live in CT and today my brother got a "warning" about his tint from a cop. Apparently we need a sticker from the dmv that says its been approved. Has anyone heard of this before? I dont want to run into this problem as i have 20% all around. Anyone have any ideas of how to get around this haha..

yoo yea the CT law states 35% Just go to the DMV in wethersfield for the sticker :tup:

Which spoiler is that?

zilverbullet 03-29-2013 03:07 PM

Going to get tint done tomorrow. I'm thinking 35% on sides and 5% on the back. Eventually I want to vinyl wrap the roof so I want the top of the car to look like one solid piece.

My question is, do you think the 35% will look off compared to the 5% in the back+gloss vinyl wrapped roof?

Will that "cure" out or is there an optically superior film I could use? It's not bad, just noticeable.

I guess another option is to put in factory tinted glass. I saw a tinted hatch on the 2012 nismo the other day at the dealer.

Wavy is normal when you just finished tinting. After it gets dried out(maybe 5 days depends on the temperature) the wavy thing should be gone.

It's funny that almost all the 35% tint pix posted here look much darker than what it really is. Maybe it depends on the light and angle.

20% all around and front strip... sorry for no straight shot of the back, but ill get one if you guys want it.

Yeah darker tint always looks good on SR especially in the sun. :icon17:

Just got 15% all around today. It's pretty dark, but during the day, you can just make out the outline of a person and the interior looking at it from the rear. At night, it looks like limo tint. Windows down or interior lights on when driving around the 5-0!:tup:

Depends on quality of tint and where you get it done. I'd say average is anywhere from $150-$300. I paid $200 for my 15%. Go to a dealership and that same job would be $500...my buddy didn't listen to my advice and took his ISF to get tinted at a dealer. Cost him almost $600. Ridiculous.

FrostyNaples 10-07-2013 10:17 AM

Whatever FL legal is, 30% i think?

Dealer contractor installed contingent upon my signature ;)

any of you tried the pre-cut tints? :confused: if so, any recommendations which store(s) to buy from? :)

i ask because i can do overlay, clearbra, and simple tint installs. i dont feel like paying someone (and cleaning up their mess afterwards) to install 2 tiny pieces and one flat hatch piece. :ugh:

Ok. Good to know.. I am taking my new Nismo for tint in an hour for 5%.. had 5% on my last Z in GA... think I will go that route again.

Catchin-Z's 11-15-2013 09:07 AM

Excellent reference thread.

Loved to be able to have a look at all the different percentages to determine what to go for.

Looking at the Colorado Tint laws the max I can go with is 27%. Visited several shops in the neighborhood and got a good price quote at a shop I felt gave me good customer service from the get go.

Will be dropping of my 1013 Z on Saturday and should be able to post pics Sunday morning.
