coldel Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Nice looking GM Zed with 35% tints on this page about eight cars down http://www.perfect-tint.co.uk/gallery.html Quote
WINKJ Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Cheers for the comments and pics, helped a lot, decided to go for them, just not drug dealer levels like originally thought Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 i did it on the jag and it sets it off nicely, i didn't go with limo stint as i had tried it in a mates car and hated it, mine is dark smoke and actually visibility isn't bad. mines not black so limo would have looked out of place on it.

Ian Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 My first car had 75% tint Not sure how much the Skyline is tinted but they are factory fitted Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 i think this might be the first time i beat Ian to a picture whoring opportunity Quote
johnd2 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Tints can look great, depends on the colour of the car and the strength of the tint, had a few cars tinted in the past and generally find darker tints work better with darker coloured cars, although there's always exceptions.. Black Z's with tints always look good! although would still never go for limo tint as not practical at all.. Quote
coldel Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Oh dear, thats done it, gotta do it now, more money gone I think i read somewhere the legal fronts is 70%, are the Zeds fronts already tinted though? I reckon going 35% on the back? Quote
Ian Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Pretty much anything on the front sides are illegal, front windscreen is a complete no-go. Rear windows you can have as dark as you like Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 front windows already have a slight tint, even a light tint takes them very close to the limit due to the factory one already on Quote
Stew Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Remember that the % quoted is the percentage of light allowed through. I'm sure the Zed as standard is pretty close to the legal limit. Anything behind the B pillar is fair game. Quote
narcotix Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I think tinta are pretty cool unless you go too dark with them .. I've had tints on all my cars except the Zed .... probably because I WANT to be seen in it .. LoL I'm tempted to get the rear quarters done in a light smoke though .. Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I just can't see the point in tinting the rear windows when you can't tint the front and sides Quote
coldel Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If the Zed already has a tint on the windows, then by tinting the back wont it make those tints already on the front appear somewhat darker? If you went say 35% at the back? Quote
jumping350 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 go for it mate ive got blade silver..my rear window and little side window are quite dark and my pass/driver window have light tint looks cool...gonna spray my handles,badges,rotas black and carbon the roof to match...cant wait then il change my avatar looks nothing like that now been photoshopped but can see rear tints Quote
LRF4N Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If the Zed already has a tint on the windows, then by tinting the back wont it make those tints already on the front appear somewhat darker? If you went say 35% at the back? Yep, good way of doing it, best of both worlds- keeps it legit and looks better Not sure how tinting just the quarters would look. Think they might be too small? On mine it's just the quarters with a heavy tint and the fronts much lighter but the rear quarters are much bigger than the zed Quote
ioneabee Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Thinking of having some tints put on and as I'm visiting Stratford-upon-Avon on Wednesday, was wondering if there was anywhere close by I could visit to have a look (and if said company was any good) thanks Quote
Dblock Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Do it if you like it. But what if the forum don't like something has done to his own car Quote
