30% is legal. It better be that cos it's a furnace out here and today I measured 55C as the mid-day high. I hope removing it will not be an issue after summer. Except for the rear window doing a DIY job isn't that difficult & film is cheap to buy.

This may sound laughable and a strange paradox to you guys in the states, but Camaros here in Dubai carry a strange perception. For one, nothing on the outside indicates that it's a chevy, so to many it's a mystery as to who made this car and from where. People think that it's so complex a machine to the point that it scares most people away from owning one! Secondly it's got a thug image hence other cars often give way and stay away from an approaching camaro! thinking it will be a reckless angry ruffian at the wheel. THATS why I like to be SEEN in my Camaro. I enjoy every minute of it's ownership.

Back in the 90s, I remember how everybody thought our '95 Camaro was awesome. But now, people just look at it as a car that isn't made in Germany or Japan.

Well...it's all about preference. I have 20% all around and I love it. It looks bad *** with red which is the color of my car. But I must say the cops don't like it. That is the only thing that sucks about haveing tinted windows and keeping the side windows down when it is cold...they hate it when they can't see you!

Re: Tinted my Z, don't like it now

i just bought my Z and i havent gotten around to retinting it yet... but on my DD /winter rider Jeep i have two layers of 0% tint on the rear windows and a single layer on the front two windows and 35% ont he windshield... you can kind of see it through the camaro in the picture below. i went that dark due to carrying 2500+ dollars of electronics in the vehicle, and personal taste. The camaro will be that dark within the month more than likely.

Here in Bahrain Camaros are popular as well. I was really surprised at the attention it gets here.
