im about to get my 95 240sx tinted, but i wanted to see if any of you had pics of your car, preferably 2 door coupes, with tinted windows so i could get an idea of what it might look like. if you could also tell me what % you have.

so your rears are lighter than your fronts?

i believe when it comes to tint, the lower the number the darker (0% = completely opaque)

Quick tip... It will probably cost more, but is probably worth it to find a tinter who has a computer tint cutter. The film will be automatically, perfectly cut to the exact size and shape of the window to be tinted, and a razor blade will never come anywhere near your car. The computer cut tint will leave a tiny, if any, gap between the edge of the glass and the edge of the tint. I've seen some really bad hand-cut jobs that have big gaps with jagged edges.

Thats My 95 S14 with 35% in the front and 5% in the back.

I did have it 5% all the way around, but the cops did not like that very much, so i got that fixed....lol
