Default Who all got their Z Windows Tinted?

Im just curious as to how many Z drivers get their windows tinted. Seems like something that should be stock to me, but Im not all knowing about cars so maybe im wrong?

I have a black Z and tinted the back 3 windows 5%. Looks good to me and that's all that matters.

Since when did auto manufacturers start tinting windows as stock ???

I would tint them all as dark as you can!!!

IMO, i think those windows should be tinted yet you should see clearly through them.

I tinted mine the first week. I got limo tint all around (including the 2 roll ups) and a 6inch visor on the windshield.

Limo tint = 5%

got the fronts 35% tint (medium)

then the 3 backs 20% (dark)

the fronts at 35% are fine for me though. its a nice tint, plus, when its dark outside the medium tint is pitch black anywayz

its a little difficult but not that much. sometimes when i have my front windows rolled up and i make a turn its a little hard going from a clear windsheild to looking out the window thats dark but its alright. the only serious probally is reversing... thats why i love my l.e.d. brake lights lol

tinted first week i got the car. 35% ceramic tint all around, $300. Want to stay legal cause too many cops. But ya tint is very important if you live in hot sunny areas. the ceramic tint does an awesome job blocking out heat and with a front sun reflector, my car is much much cooler inside than such a dark car should be tint ftw.

i hope you don't mean the entire front... haha good luck getting a safety check or pray a cop never sees your car (assuming it's illegal there like it is here). but if you mean tint the top 3 in or so up to the legal line, I say don't do it. Your car will look much cleaner without tint on the front.

20% all around 3 days after I picked up the car. All my vehicles are tinted. it gets to hot and sunny on the coast not to have it.

Sometimes I wish I went darker. and I don't have any problem at night.

Drove my car from the dealer to my tint guy. I have 35% all around, but I would recommend 35% on the fronts and 20% on the rear hatch.

Look to pay in the ball park of $250-350
