Got my windows tinted the other day. I think it looks great, the black on black looks really menacing. A pic of my GSD also included.

My Accord had illegal tint and I didn't have a problem in 2 1/2 years. For some reason this just looks really dark, maybe because of the black paint. Supposedly the local cops have been cracking down in the past 6 months. I guess the lame speed traps aren't enough.

Love it! You appear to own the car of my dreams!
How much do you pay in the USA? In England I've paid £170 for both of my last Z tints (no front screen tint, of course) That works out at about $230, at current rates.

Thanks! I paid $175. It was nice because he has a mobile service and comes right to your house. He said it's very slow this time of year and the economy, but his normal summer rate is $225. I did give him some extra gas money though.

Nice tint.
Yeah IMO the 15% was probably too dark- but hopefully you never get stopped but if you do always good to roll down both passenger windows so the COP doesn't hopefully notice the dark tint in your windows. |

With the Z's blind spots possibly being a problem already....how much harder are the tints making your driving?
I could imagine at night, changing lanes and also reversing could be much harder with the tints? I'm getting a black 370 like yours too and I plan on getting 5's but having second thoughts because it's hard to see out of the car to begin with. |

If you're concerned about reversing, get parking sensors or a reversing camera. All I'd say is, if you're new to Z's, be very aware of the width of the wheel arches - It's a wide car and easy to scrape. ...oh, and go for the tints (if it's legal!!! ), but don't go too dark.
