Whatever FL legal is, 30% i think?

Dealer contractor installed contingent upon my signature

Great thread. Exactly what I need to see to decide on my tint percentages.

Mine, 5% on the sides, 20% on the back and 70% on the front

not a good picture, but all i've got right now

kenchan · 11-07-2013, 10:21 AM

any of you tried the pre-cut tints?

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.

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.

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.

so no recommendations for pre-cut tint stores?
