    I plan on tinting the Z when it arrives but i want the windows dark but not so dark that every time the heat drives by they pull me over. What is a safe percentage to go with without getting ticketed for it?

    50% on the back and sides is a pretty good bet I think.

      what state you live in plays a part. If its Nd the cback can be as dark as you want. and the front is 50%. if its MN 50% around the whole car except the windsheild.

          depends on what you like I guess. i don't see any reason to do it, makes you look like a drug dealer imo. a strip across the top is nice for the evil, relentless, unforgiving sun in the summer tho. you aren't going to be able to get your front window dark enough to keep your car from getting hot unless you don't need to see to drive if thats what you are thinking. the max in ND for the front is 70% so any more than that and you are looking at a ticket.

            idk, ive had 50% on a couple of my cars and its light, but it still helps with the heat. if u did a 30 or 35% on the front rolls and 20% on the back, it would look kick ass. the 50% and 30 or 35% is somewhat close too so its kinda hard to tell which one you have in my .02 cents

                cuz i went into TM a few weeks back and they quoted me something around 250 for sides and back. ive just never considered tinting the front, but now im getting second thoughts. i just envey the cars that i drive by on the street and you look over and i woulnd even be able to tell if they were driving naked for that matter, just really dark. and thats what i want, but w/o the tickets

                    i think im gonna go 50% in the the driver and passenger windows, then the back three windows at like 5%. i guess thats one way to play it safe.

                    Bubba: im assuming sarcasm but is that how some cars have it so you cant see shit inside?

                            I have 30 on the sides 5 in the back and hardly get bugged, once actually

                            Is everyone talking on the same page, like 30 is percentage of light through

                              I like the tint that's on the lexus but wouldn't mind getting the front windows matched to the rears. Troy if you read this do you happen to know what percentages you have on the car??

                                He put 50 on the front roll downs and 20 on the rear IIRC.

                                    I've got 35% all around on mine. The color of car also plays into how dark it looks from the outside. I have never been hassled for tint at all.

                                      my z had 20 all around... was only pulled over 3 times in the almost 3 years i had the car (1 ticket). i believe its 50% for being legal on the front side windows, atleast thats what the cop told me... depends on how dark you want it, 30 would probably be pretty nice all around.

                                        i would not go 5% on the back. My GTO was 5% all around, and it was a fucker to drive at night. No mirrors at all, i had to plan my backup route before i got into the car. go 50% or 35% on the sides and 20% or 10% on the back. 5% is overkill and i think 20% is the best bet.
