Previous owner who got it tinted said, "20% + factory, so around 17%"

15% on sides, 2.5% on back



(old wheels)

If you drive a lot at night or have to back up a curvy driveway, I wouldn't get any darker than 20% for the rear.

Sorry for the camera phone pic. I took this the day it was done. 1% all around. And no, I do not recommend this for the weak.

I've got 5% on back, 35% on sides and windshield. The bottom pick is with the windows down and the ttops off so you can see how dark it gets. The other Z has no tint obviously.

tint on the front windshield! I've always wanted to do that, but figured it'd be a quick way to get a ticket.

It makes the car look killer even with the windows down and tops off its hard to see in there during the evening. I dont drive the car that much and their is no real way to measure the tint on the windshield so it makes it hard to prove

State Police tint meter reads anywhere between 9 - 11 % I love it, but i have to roll the window down if i'm going somewhere unfarmiliar to park at night :P I have no idea what's on the back, some tool used a roll on before he sold it to me and now it's bubbling, i'll probably go the same as the sides when I get it replaced professionally.
