ok I looked at the tint thread which states that in cali, front side windows can only be 70 %, while the rest can by any percent that we want. So, does that mean, I can also tint the front windshield and front side windows 70 percent? then the rest any percent I want? do you think it would look weird if I totally blacked out the back and only had 70 percent on the front? Also, those of u who dark tint, how hard is it so see outside? thanks, and sorry for the long read.

I got 20% all around except on the front, I think it looks just fine. I sometimes have a hard time seeing outside my side windows at night when its really dark, but its not that bad.

Well. It is basically illegal to tint ANY front windows (ex. front driverside/passenger side, front windshield). However cops usually dont bother if they can see you through those window tint.

I have 15% in the front driver/passenger side and 10 percent on rear windows. I didnt get caught yet, but the 15% in the front window looks lighter because I have frost interior. If you have black interior, i suggest to go lighter tint but if you have frost, you can go a bit darker.

With my 15% all around, i see perfectly at night and 10% in the back work very well for Z's because our cars are lower than most vehicles out there(good if truck/suv is behind you w/ headlights on.)

but you can also tint as must as you want and just roll down those front window when you see the cop. In the end, its always hard to see through these windows when it is dark either you tinted your window or not.

sorry for the hell of a read.

the only window that you can legally tint on a z is the rear. good luck!

its illegal to have any tint on the front driver or passenger window, with that being said you can get away with 50% tint

I got 5% all around except the front, also my car is black so it blends in and makes it darker. cops dont really care because my exhaust is more on there attention if you know what i mean.

I have a PPW and 5% all around except windshield. Im in the bay area and nothing so far. But my cousin also with a white car with 5% all around has been pulled over 3 times within a few years in sanfrancisco. I plan on getting 50% windshield

I used to have 20%...until I got ticketed for it.

Ive gotten used to not having tint anymore. Its just alot easier to see at night.

both of you... fail... mr. "oh shiet" and mr. "wd40 on rotor" hahaha.

dark tint... yeah i have it on a black z... it's hard as to see at night... and especially backing out of a parking space or garage... i have to roll my windowns down to even see the mirrors. when it rains, i just hope there's no kids or midgets standing behind my car. if they're standing there, then too bad, they dead.

I had my black Z tinted 20% all around and 70% on the windshield... dark.. but whatevers..

windshield tint is useful when you flip your car and windshield shatters.. the tint saves your face

just tint and when you get caught just take it off and then repeat. and to avoid the darkness just drive with your cabin lights on, I think that should solve the problem right?

see so now you have no reason to not tint.
