1/2 Mirror Tint On Rear Windscreen


Recommended Posts

hey ppl i've see a few cars getting around now with what appers to be some sort of mirror tinting on the bottom 1/3- nearly half way up the rear windscreen, changing to darkest legal tint on a good half of the top rear windscreen,

its not completly mirror tinting as you can see through it if you look hard enough

justy wondering if anyone knows if this is legal/ and insurance friendly

cheers

You're talking about 'Fader tint' I think (bottom half chrome/mirror, top half Black, blue etc). It ain't legal either... mirror is 5%, black part is 20%. Legal is 35% light transmission.

Is it definate that you cant have dark tinting on the rear screen?

I ask as a lot of vans have there windows totally black and some even replaced with steel in the case of refridgerated ones. And trucks cant see a damn thing at all besides a huge box.

Or is it just a commercial vehicle thing?

pretty sure that vans have different rules, they can paint their windows etc.

spoke to my tinter, who did my car ion 5% all round, thats the only reason he can get that tint, and he cant get large amounts cos the sales of 5% were monitored..

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
