Thanks... Yeah I'm happy with 15% tint... With the light interior, you can still see in somewhat, except at night... But its not too dark where I have to put the windows down to see out at night... How dark is the coupe's tint...

They put 45 in to keep it legal. Initially, I was going to just get the back done, but ended up getting it all done. I wish the back window was a bit darker, but I'm fine with the rest.

lol.. You got to keep your ears open. I got mine from a friend that bought new 20's from the Infiniti dealership and left them his 19's.

I paid 400 bux for rims and tires with about 5k miles on them. It was over casual conversation lol that i said will you take 100 bux a tire?

He was like go pick them up and i gave him a check!

SVT - 45% can u even tell there's tint on the windows... I just put the windows down when I see a cop

1njen - 20% looks good, its not much of a difference...

G Whizz - It's not bad at night I like it... If I was somewhere where there are no street lights or cars or anything, I may have to put the windows down to see a side street or something, but I'm not usually in the middle of nowhere...

Tampa - Your sedan is probably the nicest I've seen and I think all black cars should be tinted, they look so much better... But I love coupes, sorry...

I'll have much better pics up this weekend after I give her a bath, thanks...

Yeah, it's fine for me! I've taken illegal tint off my oldest son's car before and it wasn't fun!

Looks great.

I am waiting to go to Cali for vacation next year to get mine tinted. Huper Otik is what I am holding out for, and it is more than double the cost here in WA stste. Nobody stocks it. Special order only.

Were brembos ever an option on the sedan? They def make the car look a lot better which is the main reason I wanted an 04 over a newer one...

I got a few friends in the tinting business so I don't pay full price and know I'm getting it done right... What is this Huper Otik?? and what makes it twice the price better?

5% is a little too dark for me... With that you will have a problem seeing out at night no matter where you are... My friend had it on his mustang and when its dark out, you cant see much on either side of ya... It does look good tho

15% wins in my book..

IT is the perfect amount... Very dark and you cant see in durning the day and at night i can still see out just fine!

Huper Optik is a ceramic tint. It blocks most of the UV rays, and keeps the car a lot cooler on a really hot day. It also won't interfere with a radar detector.

It's only twice the price in WA State, it's not common up here, since it only gets hot for 2 months. They have to special order a roll, and it's not cheap.

In Cali, it's about 50% more than regular metallic tint.

I have privacy glass on the rear windows on my QX (was like that when i got it) And let me tell you...to park i had to get super bright reverse lights (i.e. when it's raining or too cold to roll the windows down) so i could see! When you sit back there (or even looking out the rearview) it's pitch black, unless there's a car with HID's riding behind you

But back to the original topic, nice choice looks great!

Yeah most SUVs come stock with the back windows tinted glass which is equal to 15% window tint...

Hello My Fellow Bulldog,How much were you quoted for your tint? The prices down here in Florida (I know, enemy territory), seem to be much, much better. I paid $325.00 for my Huper Optik 30. I was able to get three of my friends cars done for under three bills. I have heard people paying around $500.00 for the film. Even if I had to pay that much, I would do it again. It will blow your mind just how much cooler your car will be. Furthermore, because the film has more of a matte finish, nighttime visibility is improved. And unlike metal based tints, no interference from radar, laser detectors, GPS, etc...Go Dawgs,M.L
