Default Want some pics of tints on a white Z

Thinking about getting tints and want to see some on similar cars. It's a white Z with Ground Effects. I want to do 5 in back and 20 on the sides. I am also contemplating on the top windshield. Whats are your guy's thoughts.

My one friend said for me to not be a ***** and go with 5% all the way around, but I drive his truck and can't see out the sides when driving and backing up. Would 5 in the rear and 20 on the sides give it that blacked out look?

If anyone has pics, that would be great.

I had 20% on the sides and 5% on the back and would choose the same thing again. At night, you couldn't see in the car. During the day, you could see outlines of people.

Tech, show me pics if you can, same with everyone else. Right now, i'm set with 5 in the back and 20 on the side, but I need pics to justify the project.

Thanks everyone.

Awesome. Can you see out of the sides ok at night, or is it a real task? I like the look of your car, I think thats what I am going with. Thanks.

I would go with 20% all around, although the 5% is nice once you get used to it. I have 5% on the front windows of my truck, it's great.

heres the deal....

with 20%, if you get everything done, when all the windows are up and you look inside, the other windows really help block out the light and you cant see anything, however, say you look from one side and the opposite window is down, the light will shine in and you can see through it, same goes for looking through the windshield, if theres light coming in, youlll see it. whereas, if you look through the 5% with the opposite window down, you basically cant tell.haha. while sometimes its hard to see outa my 5% at night, i wouldnt have it any other way. if you have a silver or white car(and it appeals to you somewhat) mirror tint is always fun to **** with people. it used to be on my car and i would love the looks people gave me. especially since it was like 5% mirror.haha. didnt wanna look into that back hatch with the sun shining on it.haha

I have limo tint in the back and I just recently re-tinted the side windows to 35%....I used to have 20% which looked ****** badass, but I got a ticket for it. If I were you I would go with 20% on the sides and limo in the back...
