zippypooz Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Hi all, so i'm getting my rear window tinted on Friday, what shade tint did you go for...And can you post some pics if you have any!!? Thanks in advance! Quote
Randy_Baton Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Dark smoke on the rear and 35 on the rear 1/4's. For some reason I can't post images directly but anything after post 1 in my build thread will show images (link in signature) http://i1310.photobu...zps7h6eemog.jpg http://i1310.photobu...zpscgfw2isv.jpg http://i1310.photobu...zpsflpcci3q.jpg Edited June 14, 2017 by Randy_Baton 1 Quote
Jake.Lowther Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Went for dark smoke on all rear windows it's a 75% tint I'll try and get some pics on my lunch break. Mine was a diy £21 eBay job though Poor pictures I know. Inside the car it's a huge difference at night it's hard to see car lights behind you But who needs to see behind you in a Zed anyways you smoke almost everything on the road Edited June 14, 2017 by Jake.Lowther 1 Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Dark tints on the rear and small windows, medium on the sides 2 Quote
Olly350z Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 I went for limo tint on the back and sides, cant post pictures as im on my phone but if you look through my build thread you'll see plenty haha. Word of warning, I believe the Z came with a factory tint on the fronts, mine did and when tested by the tinters it was right on the limit, so any darker could invite trouble! 1 Quote

The factory tint on the front was on the limit? I was going to buy some tint for my front windows but if this is the case I better get it tested first :S Quote
Jay84 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 All cars come with front sides tinted slightly, even putting the lightest of smoke on puts it over. No one can really tell these days as there are a lot less old cars on the road, but if you compare any car to that of an 80's car, huge difference. Quote
Jake.Lowther Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 On my old Astra it used to say 30% tint put the factory the Zed doesn't say anything not that I can seee anyways. Quote
Olly350z Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Yep mine came with it bud, we even checked the glass for any film. Was quite surprised when he stuck the machine on it to be fair. If I applied any it would be over Quote
Randy_Baton Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 The guy who fitted mine refused to put any tint on the sides as it would take it over the limit. 1 Quote
zippypooz Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Had it done, i think he said 25% on the rear and 15% on the sides...did a fantastic job, all for £80. Pics to follow. Thanks guys. Quote
Jay84 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Good price. Have you never tried doing the tint yourself? I've been successful on side windows bur never rear. But I can't wrap either, but your wrapping skills are ace. 1 Quote
zippypooz Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 I have done it as part of my job but couldnt be bothered haha!! 1 Quote
