Great Day Today!

You need to literally have your tinter keep the windows up for a good hour+ after the tinting is done, to let it dry out. Thats what did the trick for me.

For now, to stop the peeling, why not X-Acto off the corners that are curling up?

And then I dropped my car off to get it tinted. The guys did a fabulous job 15% in the back, and 35% passenger, the car looks great now with the tint. And after the oil change I did feel a difference in the smoother acceleration and everything just felt great. What a great day, dealership does do 39.99 regular oil change and also the 109.99 ester, I got the ester free. So I think at 4500 or 5000 I'll switch to redline.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. I know the black interior is contributing, but that looks DARK. Looks tight tho. Congrats!

Something about a good oil change makes it feel like my birthday

^ I know I felt like the car is completely new again after the break-in change lol

Makes me want to tint my windows. I have a silver w/black interior as well... looks good!

SilverBullet · 12-20-2009, 02:55 AM

Tint looks good.

FYI, you can tape the little sensor on the door frame down so that your windows don't auto up/down.

Won't that pose a problem with sealing the window upon closing? Or worse...? Not sure, just askin'.

Tint looks great. But your Z is missing something. It's missing THE370Z decals!

Have patience. Try not to put the window down for as long as you can tolerate. Great job on the tint.

kannibul · 12-20-2009, 11:10 AM

Smoother accelleration because of the tint or because of the oil change?

In either case, seriously? Talk about placebo effect... =/

JakeZ34 · 12-20-2009, 01:09 PM

hahah smooth acceleration because of the oil change since it was running on break-in oil. But yeah I check the tint everyday and so far it has not peel yet, Keep in mind I went to the best of the best that is recommended by a lot of people, even police and CHP uses them to tint their cars. The total charge was $229.99 with life time warranty, I have faith in the people who did it because I saw a picture album and they've done many many 350Z which also has that same window up and down feature.
