Tinting my windows
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.

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

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.

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.

+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.
