Any of you get your windows tinted yet?

I got mine tinted a few days after I bought it.

It's always the first thing I do - then I de-badge it, although with the name 'Nissan' on the brake calipers I'll have an extra job this time - must say I deeply prefer 'Brembo'.

What level of tint are your windows? - standard + photoshop?

That's a beautiful car! Congratulations!!!

photoshop? lol. no, no photoshop. I have them tinted with 5%. No problems for me seeing out at night because its good tint, and I have never had a legal issue with them being so dark (so far, knock on wood). I have been pulled over a few times in my other cars with 5% and had no problems. I just like the windows dark.

...then I am officially jealous! I'd love to have my tints that dark, then nobody could see how old and ugly I am

...but in the UK I'd be stopped all the time - it's not worth the hassle - good luck with yours - they're beautiful.

How much is the clear bra cost?

I wonder if there is a way to temporarily disable this feature?

Educ8r, I agree with regarding when big trucks or suvs lights blind the crap out of you. But I have a aftermarket rear view mirror that has a bluish tint that keeps it from being really bright. But another problem is the side view mirrors. If the truck or cars is wide enough or more on either side those damn light shine right in my face. I wish there was something I can put over the side view mirrors to keep it from blinding me.

I paid $470 and went back and had the lights done for $125, there are bubbles in both lights so they will either fix it or do it over. I was told they have a machine that will suck the excess water and air out, we will see. Oh yeah I went back to the dealership to have my plates installed (here in TEXAS the DMV delivers plates to the dealership) well while I was waiting I was looking at the other Z's on the lot, they were charging $795 for the clear bra, which didn't include lights.

Oh you can get the clear bra on your head lights to? Damn that seems expensive.

Get a quote on painting the front bumper and let's see if that's cheaper than buying a clear bra.
