I think I will go with 50% all around except front windshield, I don't like the variation of different percentage on my car.

So I wouldn't say its "a complete waste of money" -- this will protect your interiors better than no tint.
you just can't risk going darker than that in the bay area (esp. when it is clearly against the law) - you are just asking for trouble. Yes - they pull over just for 35% in the front there.

Good looks comes at a price... a slight risk.

Did you really put a red "S" on your rear G35 badging?
If Infiniti packaged the car with that badge - terrible.
If you put that on - want some super sized chop sticks to go with that huge, steaming bowl of rice?

You are really going to judge a car based on a little red "S" attached to the G35 on the back of the car?

The car looks great! I've definitely decided upon the Blue Slate when I purchase my G in the short future (as soon as I can sell the M5 for a reasonable price) - as far as the tint, I concur with the others as far as the "unbalanced" look is concerned - I would have done 35% on all the sides (what is legal in TX anyways) and would have just waited for law enforcement to tell me otherwise... kinda like a front license plate!!!

I'm not a fan of the unbalanced looking tint. It' gives cops something to compare with to know you have tint for sure. I have to say that tinting the front windshield is just plain negligent. I know a lot of people do it but you have just reduced your night vision by 50%
