To Tint or Not to Tint

[ScottTN]

Hey Everyone!

I am a new Z Owner and have a decision to make.

My Z is Pearl White and I am trying to decide if I should tint the windows or not.

I have always tinted my windows in the past but I have never seen a Pearl White Z with tinted windows. I think it would look good but just not sure.

Does anyone have any pictures?

Thanks,Scott

No pictures of white with tint but I've seen them before and it looks great. Mine are tinted 35% and it looks really good, but my car is black.

I'd say do it

White with black tints looks good. Do it.

[kuhan]

depends on your state tint law if it's legal to have tint or not.

there are many white Z's with tint. go for it. it'll look very nice.

I'll get 35% next spring since our state just passed the new tint law.

[STS350]

Do it. It will look good

[BusyBadger]

Tint up to the legal limit.

I've not seen a Z33 that tint didn't look good on. I'd post a pic of mine (yellow pearl) but if you poke around on here you can find some white ones that have done it.

Nice to see another Vol - Z on NICO! Welcome.

Seriously! Tint away! Any Z33 looks better with tint. They look more aggressive, IMO. In addition to looking bad a**! The car is a lot more comfortable in the sun. I could really tell how much cooler the car was in the sun after the tint.

I have to say that the tint looks awesome on my pearl white Z!! I would def recommend it to anyone! I have 15% on in with the black leather inetrior so it even looks even darker than it really is. Here is a couple pics for ya to help ensure that you will like it...

White + dark tint = good.

IMO the darker the better. Mine is illegal at 80% all around but luckily they don't mess with us too bad where I live.

Dang! That looks awesome!

[Mr. Z33]

Thanks! Believe it or not, I m scheduled tomm for geting my tailights smoked. Not having them be all blacked out, but just smoked. I cannot wait to see what it looks like with the windows. I will post pics as soon as I can.

Smoked tails on white looks wicked.

[Mr. Z33]

Pictures of the tail light tint as promised

[RyanALLDAY]

tint for sure! i have 5% on mine its a little too dark but sun never bothers me, keeps the car cooler in the summer too....

[RCAnismo]

Wow that is crazy dark. looks good.

Your smoked tails look good. How did they do them? Is it a tint film or did they sand, paint and buff them?

Thanks! It is actually a film. The film itself is said to have a 5-6 year life, so not to bad for $65. It is still very safe to drive, becasue you can clearly see when the lights are on and when you hit the brakes. Not a big fan of the paint, just because it is permanent. Where as I could just rip the film off without having to purchase new tail lights.

Do you know the % tint used on your tails? And, is it the same tint used inside on windows or is it different? - thinking it would be considering it's exposd to the elements.

Not really sure on the percentage of the tint, but I do know that it is lighter than my 15% on my windows. Yes, it is a different material than the window tint because it is exposed to the outdoor conditions.
