Post Your Window Tints! - Decision guide for the non-tinted!

I just had my Altima tinted on Wednesday. Did 37% on the windshield and 4% (limo) on the sides and back. Here are a couple pictures:

I'm probably getting my first Z at the end of the week and am hoping to do 2 things immediately;
3M clear vinyl protection (full hood and bumper) and tint.

Getting a quote for the clear vinyl and 35%VLT with 20% reflection (brow/sides/rear) for Mag.Blk 2011 Z. That's the most you can do here in NC....legally.

good call on the 3M and tint varies per state, but most states allow the back to be as dark as you want.

Growing up in Ill, I knew everyone and could get away with it. But, I've moved here to NC back in 2009 and don't know 'a guy'. When I got the 07 Civic tinted, the insp station called me out on being RIGHT at the limit using a light reading tool. To get there I believe we did a 13% backed with a 22% (limited product line). My guess is I'll have them lay a reflective first to about the same as 22-25% and finish the rest with what's remaining.

Although, ASWF makes a 34% metallic that may just squeak me by. Anyone use their product that can testify by them?

Link for those who don't know 'a guy'.
