how about window tints? i got mine for ~140.

happytheman · 01-22-2012, 09:49 PM

What percentage did you go with?

LMBmikeZ · 01-22-2012, 10:01 PM

Tints good one!!!!

Got mine done with first week! Went with 20% all around. But I'm considering taking it out to go darker........

happytheman · 01-22-2012, 10:21 PM

Wow! Ontario doesn't give you a load of BS over the dark tints?

brucelidat · 01-22-2012, 10:22 PM

My tint's pretty light. Is it pretty easy to have tint removed for newer darker tint? Just wondering if there would be any leftover film or anything that could mess up your new tint.

I haven't gotten any trouble. In my old dd a SER Altima blacked out I had 20% in front and 10% in the rear which I loved and never had trouble one time a cop asked but didn't seem to concerned....... As he wrote me ticket for speed

lol.

Because my z is a summer/semi DD (when it's in season) I am thinking I could go with either 10% all around or maybe......10% in front and limo on rear and quarters. Most likely 10% though.

There will not be to much residue left on the windows. I have pulled out tints before and just had to use a little cleaner and it wiped up fine. If your worried just try using some rubbing alcohol on cloth. Dries clean and without leaving anything behind.

Hmm...I swear I thought I saw that the Canadian NISMO's came with NAV. Oh well. I stand corrected.

LMBmikeZ · 01-23-2012, 02:11 PM

Ya just the Canadian 40th is different from the American ones. Our Nismo is also as close to none stock as possible.

How do you all deal with backing into spaces, roll down the passenger window for better mirror viewing?

Thought of going limo, but I decided to go lighter, looks more classy imo

But I did tint the windshield to make the sides look a little bit darker:

happytheman · 01-25-2012, 06:26 PM

That looks great nmjaxx9! I don't know if I'd have the Cajones to do the front windshield like that, though one would suppose that it would be less easy to detect said tint than...say...illegal tint on the top portion, eh?
