Default Pics of window tint yet?

If you have received your Z and already tinted the windows, would appreciate a pic and any words of wisdom you might have...did you take the window fuse out; did you leave a "window" for viewing the Z logo on the strut brace, etc...

are you using a low to no metallic tint as not to disrupt the tire pressure monitoring equipment?

Are you guys going to seriouslt tint the windows and lose that cool look of the rear support bar through the rear glass--or are you doing it so people won't be gettin drool all over your doors trying to loook at it? Your daytona does look sweet though tinted. I will definitely have to look into some silver tint to go on my chroime silver touring. Is their silver tinit or just mirror tint? I see at car shows a lot on silver and white cars but I always thought it was mirror.

Woah, Gus. That's gorgeous...

Must...tint...windows.

Re: why tint the Z windows? It's 90 degrees year-freakin-round in Florida, it would be nice to cut down on the heat factor inside the car just a bit. Though it's nice to be seen and have the strut bar seen, it's also easy to see what you have lying in your "trunk" without the tint.

If I lived In Florida, I would be tiniting my windows too becasue I know it is legal there. Here in gay New Jersey You get a big ticket for that, so when you tinit your windows up front it is usually for looks and not just to make the car cooler. I lived in Dade County, Miami as a kid but go figure I get stuck in the strictest state in the US when I am in my early twenties and am into cars.

Also, no offense but I could take a picture of any car on that beautiful driveway and it would look awesome. No offense, just an observation--the blue Z is awesome.

I was a little concerned about blocking the view of the strut bar but I opted for keeping the car cool in the florida sun and really unless you are on top of the car the strut bar is not that visible, plus this also helps cut down the glare that the strut bar shines on the window and gives some privacy if you have something in the hatch area. The tint is metallic and reflects light but it is not mirror or chrome I don't like that plus the chrome or mirror finishes I believe are illegal in Fl like the really dark tints because the cops can't see inside the car.

Is that medium or light tint? I'm thinking of tinting, but i'm afraid it might reduce the interior lighting a lot because the car is already sort of enclosed as it is... With tint it might cause some claustrophobia

That is basically light because in florida you can only put the darker tint on the back windows.
