Ok. So I've had my Z for more than a year and a half now. But I haven't gotten it tinted yet because I've been in college for the last year and I didn't have my car. Now I need to though (anyone else feeling the heat in f*cken super black??), and I'm wondering where is a good place to get it done for a decent price.

I live in Orange County (Brea), so the closer it is to this would be way chill. Also can you guys suggest a brand of tint, %, etc? I'm not looking to do it really black, although it would look sweet. I'm going for just dark enough I think 35% would be fine. Thanks guys.

 

limo tint all around

 

35% all the way around is good. I have SB as well.

 

Go to California Tint(city of Rosemead) off Rosemead Blvd & Mission Rd and ask for Pete. He has done tons of Zs there for reasonable price and life time warranty

 

+1 on California Tint, ask for Peter, tell him Ted with the Magnetic Black 350Z done a week ago referred you.

 

I have 35% all around on my SB. I think the brand is SolarGard or something. It looks nice but I think 20% looks the best. But I'm too much of a wuss and wanted to stay legal.

At least the dark interior makes the tint look a bit darker.

 

What is the law in CA? No less than 35%?

 

You could tint the back as dark as you want, yes even limo tint, but you aren't allowed to tint the front windows at all, not even a slight tint. With that said, for the back, I have it tinted one lighter than limo and the two front windows tinted one lighter than my back.

 

Ah, sorry. I just moved down from Oregon where you can have 35% all around.

 

just when you get caught speeding make sure you have your windows down

 

if you get pulled over and your windows are down they ask you to roll them up to see if it has tint, cops are dicks (not all i do know a couple who are b!tchen)

 

How much was it at California Tint?

 

I always go to this shop:

Window Tints Etc
15800 Hawthorne Boulevard, Lawndale, CA 90260
(310) 371-8998
(310) 371-7794

 

Any other places closer to Orange County?? Thanks for the suggestions on the tint. I would love to get a darker tint, but I attract enough attention being a young kid driving a Z, so I don't want more unwanted attention.

 

i have 15% all around and its perfect for me.

 

I got my tint done here:

Autosound Specialists
Contact: Steve Kim
13749 Beach Blvd.
Westminster, CA 92683
(714) 891-8779

It's on Beach and Trask, not sure if you are familiar with this area. I forgot how much he charged me, I believe it was around $150 or $160.

 

I think I paid around $175. Here are some pics of 35%. When it's overcast it looks awesome, When it's really sunny it just looks "nice".

 

did you do the windshield too? i'm thinking of getting 35% all around on my SS

 

+3 on California Tint. I would also get 35 all around. I think it looks classier than limo tint. SB is dark enough and will actually make the 35 grade look darker than it really is.

 

i got 20% on mine all around the tint will get lighter after a year. i think it looks the best on SB it blends in nice and u cant tell the change from window to car.
