So I decided to Tint my 2011 G37xS
I decided to get my G37xS couple tinted on this coming Friday. I live in Minnesota and I guess the tinting laws are pretty strict here. Up until recently, you could get tint darker than 50% installed if you signed a waiver. Now you can't even do that anymore. Legit installers can't install anything darker than 50%.
You can see pics of my pre tinted G in the newbie section.
I've never had anything tinted before so I'm not even sure what 50% even looks like. Is it dark enough to notice?

Tinting %'s is based on how much light is allowed in the car
So in NY for your front windows the max you can tint is 70%, which means that 70% of the light is let in the car.
5% is limo tint - only 5% of light gets in the car
In my opinion and experience, in NY nd NJ you will get pulled over at least a couple of times for anything under 20.

i have 35% on my front windows.. its barely worth it. not as dark as i wanted and you can see right through on a sunny day. 50% wont even be noticeable; the only reason you would want 50% is if heat reduction is your only concern. if looks mean anything, dont go above 35%. there is a tint thread on here with a bunch of tinted g's. take a look and you'll see how light 35% is, and why no one really does 50% lol

I have the 2011 G37x in Blue Slate and just got tinted a couple of weeks ago (35% all around, including the sunroof). I live in IL, could've gone 50%, but I have the graphite leather interior and it's plenty dark with the 35%. Here's a pic:

That 15% really makes a difference tint wise. Can you see ok at night?
