I didnt do the windshield. To be honest, i dont know how you guys can drive like that with tint on it... but it does look good...

I find it's nicer at night driving with a lightly tinted windshield. 35 would be really dark for a windshield

Not issue at all with visibility at all during night driving, not too dark, just perfect as I don't feel the stares as much this way.

First post to this forum. Bought my 370Z in May. Tinted my windows the next day. I've always had a little darker than they should - 5% on the rear, 20% on the doors. Skipped the stripe across the windshield. Hint: there's a power window reset. Found that out afterwards. Spent a day rolling up the driver window from passenger side.

During the day its like having sunglasses on.
During the night you can't even tell it's tinted.

It comes in handy at all times. I hate people coming towards you with high beams on.

Question for you guys. I got them done Saturday and as i went to leave i noticed a bunch of bubbles on the rear window. I asked the guy what was up with them and he said they are normal because of moisure and that they would go away in up to 10 days. Ive heard conflicting things on this, some say its totally normal, some say to go back right away. Any opinions? I figure if he told me to wait the 10 days, ill wait and then go back. Some bubbles have gone away but there are still a bunch...

Bad, fogginess effect to be expected as tint dries but no bubble. They messed up the tint job.

yea thats why i asked him right when i saw them and was a little surprised he told me it was normal and to wait...

birdmanx1 · 09-27-2011, 01:35 PM

I didn't have bubbles on my tinted cars.

Pelican170 · 09-27-2011, 02:26 PM

yea well after giving it a closer look, I noticed several scratches in the film on each window. I am going to go back and complain. I want it redone...

Halcom2 · 09-29-2011, 10:19 PM

Took about 2 weeks for all the bubbles to disappear. Otherwise perfect and no complaints.

Turbo11 · 09-29-2011, 10:55 PM

here is my newly tinted Z (sorry cell phone pics) 20% all the way around:

Pelican170 · 09-30-2011, 12:10 PM
