ZacksZ34 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 okay i got and estimate on gettin my windows tinted and cant decide how dark i should go i wanna go with 20% but it would almost be to dark but i dont really care for 35%. And in 2 weeks i will be getting headlight covers and vent visors to does anybody have any pics of there z34s with vent visors and any picks of black z34s with headlight covers Quote
ZacksZ34 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 5% that would be way to dark the cops would pull me in a heartbeat if it them that dark Quote
jeremy Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 you might get pulled over, but it would look killer Quote
ZacksZ34 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 you might get pulled over, but it would look killer i know it would look killer but if im gonna go dark 20 will be the darkest i will go cause im gonna get the rear window and the sides done including the door glass and for a cop that screams pull me over Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I Like 20% but some places have different % so you have to check. I got 20 on my escort. Sometimes cops will be dicks anyway, but never had a problem. Then again I dont drive like an asshole. Also as far as ventvisors I think some dude with a white Z had a set on his here. Can not remember tho. Definitely got with tint, cant go wrong with it. Quote
Q-Ball Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I got 5% on my car, here is how it looked when I first got it done. If you drive at night often, I wouldnt go with 5%. But its awesome in the summer! I've never got pulled over for it. 5% all around. Even got my sunroof done. Didnt do the windshield. Hmm I cant find the pics I have when I first got it, but here are some others. Quote
cutty Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Around here(pittsburgh area) i would go with 35% i had the front windows in my cutlass tinted 20% and i got pulled over for it. But i do have 5% on the rear door windows and the rear window, no problems at all seeing at night or anything. Quote

cutty Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Miniquads suck for night. Be happy you drive a 4 door cutty. Thats what i have heard, but i can see great at night since i have HID's Not to rub it in anymore Quote
kwk39018 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Even with a bulb swap on the miniquads they still suck.I would go 20% on front and 5% on back.It would "look legal". Quote

kwk39018 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 It should look hot when you are done.We want pics when you get it done.Where did you get the hids?Sorry about the hijack. Quote
runt Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 If anything do 20% all around if your willing to take a chance. Go 35% if you don't really want to be bothered. Granted, it won't look "as cool" but it's better than having to tear it off. (Which you WILL have to do if you get pulled over for it, in a lot of cases.) Quote
cutty Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I got the online from oznium.com, but they don't sell them anymore, i have also heard of guys buying them from ebay. Quote
cutty Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 but it's better than having to tear it off. (Which you WILL have to do if you get pulled over for it, in a lot of cases.) So true thats what i had to do with mine that i had on my front windows Quote

(Which you WILL have to do if you get pulled over for it, in a lot of cases.) well a couple of my buddies got 20% on there trucks sides windows and they said they havent got pulled over yet cause of it Quote
cutty Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Trucks for some reason don't get bothered as much for tint i have noticed, not sure why though. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I would go 20% on front and 5% on back.It would "look legal". Thats what I have on my Ranger. 5% on the rear window and 20% on the sides. It isn't as dark as I thought it would be and I love it! Get at least 20% if you decide to get tint. Quote

Most trucks don't get bothered. Most cars do. And it's going to "look" darker because of the black car. I just don't want to see you spend good money on it only to have to tear it off, thats all. But, by all means, do what you want! Quote
Breakdown Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 The Zack from 5 years from now visited me last night. He doesn't want you to go overboard with the mods to the Z34, because in 3 years you're going to need a new(er) car, and he wants it too be a cool car and relatively debt free. 20-30% sides, 15% back, don't go stupid dark - it's just going to cost you later on. The red car is done 25% on the sides, maybe 30%, to me it has the "look." I have the sedan done a little darker, the coupe is tan interior which is pretty bright to start with, your red should be dark enough to work with the tint. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 We have 20% all around on the '94 vert (except windshield) and my wife loves it. It looks good and is plenty visible at night. She has never been pulled over for it in 5-6 years and it IS illegal in my area to have below 35% on front sides. She has been pulled over before for other reasons (speeding, broken turn signal switch), and the cops never even mentioned the tint. 20% is about how dark factory tint is on pickups, minivans, and SUVs that got factory tint, btw. You can still see through it at certain angles, especially when the window directly across is untinted. Yeah, it'll look legal if you get 5% back 3 and 20% front sides, although the mismatch in tint darkness kind of stands out, so in a way I like them all uniform. Quote
ZacksZ34 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Posted August 17, 2008 well im gonna go with 20% for my tint chioce and as from puttin alot of money into my car im not planning on it i just want it to look good and make it my car show car. The most im gonna spend will be 1000 to 2000 to get it repainted Quote
Euro Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 so...headlight covers eh? *looks at the ones I have sitting in the box on my floor* As great as 20% would look, I think I'd just do 35%. Quote
