I just came across this link
Window tint legal limits, by state.
From the International Window Film Association...

To give credit where it is due - I was sent to this site from this site - there is a very informative video on how a tinter actually does his job.
Here's Everything You Need To Know About Window Tinting

Not so much a question about tint itself more the process. When a shop applies the tint they usually use a water/soap solution of some sort (I think the shop I contacted uses baby soap). When they're spraying the water/soap it will inevitably drip down the door onto the suede door insert. I'm worried it may stain or discolor the suede. Has anybody experienced permanent marks on the suede door panel after tinting? Or I am being completely paranoid lol.

1991Z32 07-25-2015 11:47 AM

Just had my 40th done with no issues. As long as you use a quality shop it shouldn't be an issue. If it helps ease your mind ask the tinter how he will protect it.

IMo 20% is the perfect shade, dark enough from outside to ward off thieves but still visible from inside even at night.

Absolutely agree, Zbrah. Couldn't be happier! :tup:

Zbrah 08-08-2015 08:48 PM

It's interesting some people are able to get tint visor installed on the front windshield, I wanted something similar but the guy that did my tint said it won't work due to the dot matrix:confused:

Memphis370Z 08-08-2015 09:08 PM

I don't think it's a problem, because there are a few Zs in Memphis that have tint (50%, I think) on their front windshield. The shop that did mine said they could put it on, but I passed.

Where in MN? I'd also like to go 20 but am skeptical with the law being 50.

kenchan 04-27-2016 01:59 PM

wish there was a consistent way to rid those dotted line where they end up light in color. i noticed this on my G's tint too when i had it done.

I have a medical exemption, but I travel through and around Minneapolis, St Paul and the north burbs. Been pulled over multiple times in my other vehicle also with 20%, mostly by state patrol but a few times by local cops. No tickets though once they pull up and verify the exemption (and measure the tint for whatever reason), but they seem to pay attention and try and get people for it.

ChaseZ 05-17-2016 08:31 AM

Great reference, thanks. Dropping mine off for tint this morning. 30 back and quarters and 38 on the doors just so it looks a bit more "factory". I'll edit with a pic at the end of the day

Ghh0st 06-10-2016 07:59 AM

5% on rear, and sides. With a 5% strip on the front.

How is the visibility with the window visor. I had my tint guy put a 5% window visor on my car equal with where the bottom of the rear view mirror mount is and had him take it off because visibility sucked. I was thinking about maybe raising it up to the bottom of the dotted lines?

so i got mine done today and took it out for a photoshoot

Full Windshield - 20% > cant complain, the visibility is not that bad at all at night
Doors - 20% > Perfect setup

so im from NJ and tints law here is that u cant have anything on your front windows but i was able to get a permit from MVC so i can put them on due to my skin condition which allowed me to tint my windshield LEGALLY . MUAHAHAH

The front Brow is a tad below the line..... oops....
Brow is Limo Black 5%
The drivers and passengers doors are state legal 35%
The drivers and passengers side small windows are Limo Black 5%
