New pictures of the Q w/ tint now

[BlueC]

Just got the film installed this past week. Finally got a chance to snap some pictures. 30% platinum film on the sides, 20% platinum film on the rear window. (in the pictures the rear sunshade is raised).

















Legal limit up here is 50%. I'll take my chances...

Looks real nice bro.

Do cops really mess with peoples windows? Ive had 5% (some called it limo tint?) on all of my cars and never had a bit of trouble.

Where I live, yes. On my last car I had pretty much the same tint (28% on sides, 19% on rear window) and was ticketed for it twice. Each ticket was around $144. Both tickets were within 12 months of eachother.

Looks great. I'm debating on tinting my windows, but I don't know how I'll like it

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

I wanna do a 5% on my vert...but I dunno...if cops bother me...ill just say its Florida...alotta sunshine will mess up my interior you know? But then again I ride with the top down so its no problem...but I want the tint anyways because of the "because I felt like it" factor.

Your Infiniti is clean n lookin good by the way.

I didn't know if I'd like it on the first car I bought that had them (slightly used... former owner had the tint installed). Within days I was hooked! Now I feel naked without tint - like I'm driving in a fishbowl...

I even did DIY tint on my beater truck because I had to have the tint but didn't want to pay for it... By the way, paying for it is well worth it... tint is a beiotch to install yourself!

I agree.... driving my Q pre-tint vs. post-tint. I much prefer the post-tint.

[BlueC]

That's exactly how I felt after selling my Maxima. Driving the Q45 pre-tint felt weird. It just feels too "open".

[mryzza]

I agree. I got 20% all around on my 92 q45 and I love it. I haven't had any cops bothering me either. I just feel secure in it, no1 sees me unless I want them to see then I just roll my window down.

Looks great!

In Alabama, 35% is the legal limit on all windows for cars. Trucks and SUVs can go darker on the rear (Which is totaly assanine, since that is where the gunmen hide).

I got Lola's windows tinted last Friday. I noticed the rear leather was starting to shrink, since she sits in the sun all day, now.

I shot some pics, but forgot to bring my cable to teh office, to download the pics.

I would have liked to go darker for security, but I barely notice the 35% at night, except for the glare from distortion around the rear defroster wires. I would like to have a rear shade in the Q, like the one in the I30.

Your Q looks great with tint. 15% is the darkest I would go. As a valet, I drove some SUVs with 5% and I couldnt see anything when reversing at night.

Not only that, but SUVs have terrible visibility to begin with. I don't see the logic behind that part of the law.

In Cali, you can tint the rear doors and windows pretty much as dark as you want, but you're not supposed to tint the front doors at all. What's worked for me the past 7 years is tint the rears pretty dark, and tint the front doors lighter, so it's kinda hard to tell if the front doors are tinted or not.

Looks great BlueC.

Ditto for Michigan. Thats what I did with mine. Limo on back doors and rear window... light tint on front windows.

Nice tint job. how did they overcome the plastic beading on the top of the rear window? My tint shop said they couldn't make mine stick.

Then get a 1999+ FY33 or a F50 with Premium and get the rear side curtains also. Both are nice, even with the Hüper Optik Stark 30.

Are you talking about the Dot Matrix? Because they couldn't fix that. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the very tops portion of the glass is a tad lighter because it wouldn't settle 100% over the dot matrix. Blends in well, so I don't mind.

Yes, the dot matrix. So the dot matrix is not tinted? Mine isn't either. He tried, but the tint just wouldn't stick. I don't know that I like the look much from the outside, but looking out the window is fine.
