denveratsun Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Nope...no tint for this old guy. The look I am still aiming at is pretty Hotrod...so I am gonna leave it off. While I agree that it does help keep it cool inside...I think it looks like I am trying to make my truck look like something I am not. :D Quote Link to comment
Dat620guy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Tint I think is a preference thing. I did my windows myself. Its dark enough I can see out my windows at night and not get burned by the sun in the day ( when we get sun.:D ) Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have limo tint on the back & 1/4 glass.I have no issues seeing out the window.:confused: You also have sunlight. :D Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 in oregon you are only allowed to tint some of your windows a specific amount. sometimes the cops dont care but if they want to be dicks they can give you a ticket Quote Link to comment
Pedro Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Not a fan of tint on most old cars. I got a mild tint done on my old 510 but regretted it. Having no tint on a 510 and being able to easily look through the whole car and out the back window has something about it. Quote Link to comment
71ka510 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 for me i wouldnt tint for looks.... i do it to keep temps down, save th interior from fading, and privacy..... makes it harder for crooks to see if there is anything worth stealing out of my car...... and it helps block those annoying 4x4's headlights in my back window at night.... my first car (1979 rx7) came fromt the factory with limo tint on all the back glass... stayed super cool in the summer, but at night i couldnt see a darn thing behind me, not even the cop that was following me for miles .... oops...:o Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 In the desert states window tint darkness is not regulated and for good reason. I tinted all my older Datsuns I had. I even tried and failed to get a good clean tint on the curved back window of the purple 280ZX. It wasn't perfect so I removed it immediately. Otherwise I love tint. I just haven't gotten around to doing it on my more recent cars. Frontier, 350Z, and 280ZX will all get tinted. Even the Fairlady... j/k :D Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 In the desert states window tint darkness is not regulated and for good reason. On the front windows % is limited to 30-33 % in Arizona.No restrictions elsewhere. Quote Link to comment

79datsun620 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't know what % mine is in my 620 but when i'm looking in my rear veiw at night i see a reflection of whats in front of me, its pretty freaky lookin. Quote Link to comment
71ka510 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 in california, you are actually not allowed to tint your front side windows at all,even though some cars come factory with it (like 2004 evo's) buddy got a fix it ticket for his.... and your front windshield, if i remember correctly can be tinted 4-6" down from top....

thisisastickup Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 yup, illinois is like that as well. Quote Link to comment
az_rat210 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I run tinted windows on the side. Grey, allows me to see out at night. I tinted those myself, but I will be having the hatchback glass done professionally. I have to be careful with the tint though as I am not running side mirrors, thus visibility is very important.

intense 620 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Cali's tint laws suk but i really don't like tint. pulled it off of my accord and off all the windows in the datsun... when i'm done my truck will be full show i like people being able to look in and see my interior. besides thats what i bought an alarm and a car cover for:p Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 i honestly like tint but not limo black. I think a light tint or a light mirrored tint looks very classy. If you use 50% and up mirrored tint it will actually make your glass look brand new and very shiny. The plan for my datto is 50% or so on all windows (windshield included). Right now my toyota doesn't have tint and im kicking myself for it because that almost fully charged R-12 A/C system doesn't do a thing when the sun is beating in the windows. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have all the tint in my room ready to go on my windows I just dont have the balls to take my rear window out. I'm afraid the weather stripping is gonna crack/break. Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm not sure if I"m going to tint my car or not right now. In Kansas City in the summer time interior temps can get 110+ after sitting all day, but my baby does sit in the garage, and I would like to track my car so a nice clear view all around the car would be a good thing. My wife's car is tinted and my Mazda will get 20% all around. Quote Link to comment
