theman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have all my cars windows tinted. I find really dark tints look terrible/cheap and are dangerous during dark o'clock. I normally go for 35% film. I've found 50% and above and there is no visible difference to standard. Driving in strong sunlight gives me a sore head but a slight tint makes the whole cabin more comfortable. Remember, as a general rule if you have a dark interior the tint will appear darker, with a light interior a weak tint may not make difference to appearance of car. As for aesthetic value, it's all down to personal taste. I think done properly and at the right level it can transform a motor. Around £180 would be a good price for a Z. Worth paying for quality, there are lots of wannabe amateurs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkwright Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 If this is any help this company, (300zx owners) in Plymouth have attended Zed Fest and Z008 and tinted club members cars. They will probably be there again in '09 for the more northerly members. http://www.mastertint.t83.net/ Give them a try we had good reports.

theman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 How easy is it to take tints off if you get pulled by the rozzers? I have found, generally very easy to peel off if done with patience and not too agressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaf Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 How easy is it to take tints off if you get pulled by the rozzers? I have found, generally very easy to peel off if done with patience and not too agressively. That if its only been tinted recently, it has glue on the back of the tint and sticks to the window. Lots of soapy water and a blade to scrap it of to remove the glue, very occasionally it will come off with the glue if very carefull, so best to use a blade to scrap the excess glue off.

Darren-B Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 markyp, where abouts in essex are you bud ?, seems like a fair price to me, a guy at the last thurrock meet had his tinted, he had a black zed, looked really smart , not a clue what tint he went for though ! It was me I only have a light tint, just to tone down the contrast of the clear glass on a black car. I used a Solaguard Film and done it myself. (im afraid i wont be filming another zed though, access is s***, gave me a back ache for 2days, also i dont have the patience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98duffa Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 how can front windows be tinted guys due to them having drop down windows etc and your not meant to use your windows for at least a week. help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Won't be happening. Tints should be for limo's only imo.....the people I see with tints have usually got something to hide....... +1 [rant] the sooner we get rid of all tints over 15% the better IMO. If you've nothing to hide, why black out the car? No need to take them off limos, just destroy the limos as they are an affront to car styling. I've never seen a good one, even when something crap to start with was stretched. It's impossible to see throught the car next to you at a junction or roundabout too.

3FIDDYZ Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Get in car, pop hood, get out of car, shut door, open hood, disconnect battery......... just dont shut the door when you have the battery disconnected! As you may be replacing the door glass! Thats for fitting! Not sure about leaving it for 5 days without using, 12hours perhaps! Simple!

Spaceman Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Jesus cant beleive how much peeps are being quoted for tinting, £120 back and sides for mine at Totaltints in Bromborough Cheshire. Guy told me that under no circumstances will he tint the front side glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helimeddaz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi, Haven't read all these posts, but Mines done back and sides. The trick is to fade to lighter tint as you come forward to the driver and passenger windows. Make sure these guys know what they're doing. Cos if its wrong it'll look crap and if its too dark plod will be all over you. About £170 is what I paid. They removed the door glass to do it too. Top job. Take a look.

yokomo Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 looks good , been seriously considering getting just the rear sides done dark black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N!ck-z Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I was recently pulled and my windows tested (they have a machine carried in most patrol cars now). They need to let 70% light through or you will get an on the spot fine and told to remove them. It is possible for them to give you points also. Unfortunately for me, mine did not let 70% light through (nowhere near if I'm honest). Fortunately he let me off when he realised I was in the armed forces (cue stories of him and his old regt.). He did say however that sometime in the future (didnt clarify when exactly) the test was being introduced into the MOT. So anyone thinking of going above the 30% limit, I would seriously think twice about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
