Default pic request: 35%-50% tint

As the title says, I'm looking for pictures of Zs (preferably darker colors) with 35-50% tint. I've looked through a number of tint threads and can't seem to find any with anything above 20%. I had 20% on my previous car, which was silver, but on San Marino Blue, I don't think a very dark tint would look all that great (not a fan of the 'blacked-out' look) , plus I want to be able to see! =]

I'm looking to get the Z tinted tomorrow, so please post anything you have! Thanks a lot guys

well this won't help I guess.. but this is my car the first day I got it.. it has 10%.. and you can see in it slightly in sunlight..



I really need to post new photos, because since this was taken, I got eyelids, CF A-Pillar Overlays, and B-Pillar, as well as CF side view mirror overlays.

Mine is 35%.

CORRECTION: It was 20%. Now I don't have any...got pulled over and slapped with a fix-it last week.

I may go 45%-50% later on. I like 45% but no one seems to carry it.

To give you an idea, I've got 50% on my front window. You can barely tell it's tinted. I've got the rest of my windows at 30% and to me, they look plenty dark, while still being legal in Indiana. I don't have any photos though. If it's not raining in the morning, I might be able to shoot a couple.

edit: Mine are just a tweak darker than Phantom Menace'.

Got her tinted about an hour ago . Luckily the shop had a perfect film for me -- SunTek Carbon 45% light transmittance.

The pictures really don't show the amount of reflectivity. It looks pretty dark when the sun is shining directly on it, but visibility is hardly affected!

Overall, I'm very pleased with the 45% tint and recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different.


PS - found a new toy sitting in the driveway when I returned, as seen in picture 2

Go with the 35% you won't be disappointed with your choice.
Here are some pics of mine with 5% on the back windows and 35% on the front two.

35% = perfect. Not too dark not too light, looks good, and you don't have to worry about the police getting on your *** about it.





Ignore the missing B-pillar panels...

is 35% legal in all states, I'm from Chicago and I am worried because they are pretty strict about tint laws. At least with my limo ones they were.
