I've recently tinted the windows to about a medium level. I highly recommend the nano-ceramic type tint film as it does a good job of reflecting the heat rays of the sun. I had mine done at Ziebart and cost about $300 for the 5 windows.

Some tint places offer a clear film for the windshield, also made of nano-ceramic film, so I'm getting that too. The windshield and rear glass are large and sloped back so the sun can really beat in. The side windows are large too, so same thing. I bought my '09 in April and noticed a lot of heat build-up on even a 70-degree sunny day. The new film really does make a difference, and no I don't work for Ziebart.

Cross posted from the Engine Bay thread ...

Hydrodipped parts:

- Engine cover: true carbon, body-color (RAW, or lapis blue) center section, "V6 VVEL" and Infiniti logo masked.

- Radiator cover: true carbon.

- Battery and brake fluid covers: true carbon.

All clear-coated parts protected with Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0.

More stuff:

- Zeetoyz coolant, windshield fluid and dipstick polished covers. I have the Zeetoyz power steering fluid cover but haven't got a chance to drive to the dealer to get a spare plastic cap (for cutting) yet.

- Dress Up Bolts titanium burned engine cover bolts. (Undecided about what I'll do with the other bolts in the engine bay, but they have to be replaced at some point.)

I wanted to do white on my red coupe, but was deterred by other people. Not that they didnt make any sense, but I saw what they were thinking. I may do a bronze color but I still have white on my mind.

I should have mentioned my car is Moonlight Pearl, so the contrast is nothing like white with red.

I've seen pics of red with white rims and it looks awesome, but so does red with bronze rims. I'm so torn, LOL.
