Here is what 35% 3M tint all around looks like on mine. Can perfectly see at night all the while being ninja shadow to others; still hang back when I see the police cruisers... precautionary step.

lol... ur right... i already got the ticket from that anal lady cop. only paid the fine in court cuz i didnt wanna take it off. about a month ago i got a warning citation from a cop.

in the process of getting some "eye doctor" papers saying that i need the dark tint for my eyes.

ne ways i see you got ur roof blacked out. is that vinyl or paint? i wanna get that same look you have on ur car.

haha that "eye doctor" papers idea is not bad and will be awesome if you manage to get it. I'm shocked you got a warning citation, the officer had to be in a really good mood

Thx, roof was professionally painted. Give a call to Frank@ Wilson Autobody in Baltimore - pricey but you WILL be guaranteed satisfaction once you see the end result.

I have a concern regarding tinting the windows of my 2011 Nismo that I've only had a week. I know you aren't suppose to roll the windows down right after having them tinted, but whenever you open the doors the window comes down an inch automatically in order to clear the top of the door, won't this affect the tint job??

fuzzywuzzy · 04-02-2011, 02:01 PM

Does anyone have any pics of just the hatch tinted and nothing else?

It shouldn't Bodytechz, most tinting chops are well aware of it and usually cut the paint film accordingly. It will obviously help if you let the tint dry up for a few days though. You should be able to bring your car to the shop at no additional cost if the films gets loose.

Later, I found out after getting pulled over by a lady cop and checking my tint % it was supposely 12%

Also, I did the brow strip on the front since the tint shop threw it in for free. Helps block the sun glare quite well.

Anyway enjoy!

That still doesn't stop you from getting pulled over.
Not worth the hassle IMNSHO. You're just asking to get pulled over with something that dark. You've already stopped at least once, right?
The eye doctor papers won't mean squat if you're on your way home from the bar. The cop walking up to your car is already on edge because he can't see inside.

Another pic of my 5%. I got pulled over for no aparent reason last weekend and the cop tried to whine about my tint(I've been waiting a while for this) pulled out my medical exemption form and he just walked back to his car nd drove off lol. I am not one that talks bad about cops at all but I was extremely shocked he pulled me over and I know it was not because of window tint, that was just his fall back including my liscense plate cover. Anyways.....

In PA, illegal tint and obstruction of your license plate are valid reasons for being stopped.
Your state appears to have the same limitations on window tint. Not trying to be a hater, but your sh1t is illegal. So quit your whining when you get pulled over and deal with the hassle or pay your "I look cool tax".

Nice ride Big J!!!

You don't know me so I can't expect much from you. I am not whining when I say he pulled me over for no reason. He never saw my plate cover until I was stopped, bc he was never behind me and turned his lights on while he was beside my car

You got a little internet hater in you. If I did something illegal I would have gotten a ticket. Don't preach laws to me either, I already went to court for the plate cover and it was thrown out bc it IS LEGAL as long as the plate is legible for 60 ft.

This sticky should be pics and tint specs only to keep it on topic.

Ohh and it's not for looking cool, My doctor is the one that questioned my sensativity to light while running some tests and gave me the exemption without me even asking. I am one of the few that actually appreciate the exemption for medical purposes.

LunaZ · 04-03-2011, 05:54 PM

Nevermind.
Best of luck to you!

Big J · 04-03-2011, 05:59 PM
