Default tint help

I'm ready to get window tints for my Z. I was wondering how dark I should get them and whether or not it will affect my auto dimming mirror.

the mirror adjusts with the light directed at it, if the light is coming through dark enough not to make it work, then it shouldnt bother you anyways, if its not, then it will work just fine

I think 16% would look great man. I think that's what I'm planning on going with once I have the time. Well, 16% at least worked great on another car..but for the Z i'm thinking it *may* be darker since less light gets in the Z in the first place b/c of the small driver/passenger windows.

oh, and with silver, i like dark personally, but with the laws here in miss, they are laws here in mississippi that are getting so strict now, anything caught with less than 35% on any of the window(unless factory tint) can get up to a $1000 ticket and/or 3 months in jail, kinda retarded to me, but oh well. the highest ive seen is about $350 so far though

I'm gonna get 35% all around. It should do a nice job in tinting the windows without attracting the wrong kind of attention.

I stayed legal (35% here in OR) and every day I wish I had gone darker.

But on overcast days it looks really good. I've also had cops tail me trying to find a reason to pull me over so I'm glad I'm legal.
