Any place can do an illegal tint on the car for you. YOu just wont receive any warranty or receipt for the work. If your car is a coupe get the driver and passenger window a legal limit, Then you can get every other window (rear quarter windows and rear window) as dark as you want legally. Thats how i had it on my r33 and you still atleast have a warranty and no excuse for the insurance company not to pay you out if you have an accident. Stupid as it sounds they can refuse to pay up if your window tint is too dark :|

now why would u want an illegal tint? Just do a legal one and be happy...its just another thing the cops will defect you for in the future.

Have have done a few tint jobs at Premier Tint in Nunawading..they seem to be good. All my tints have lasted and been of high quality.

In fact I was going to take the R33 down there this week if they are open...

how dark is 35% on a car? like what does it look like? and what can you get the back windshield done to legally? anyone got any prices?? group buy anyone??

[krzysiu]

my old car with legal tint on driver and passenger. Then really dark on the other ones.

[Rah]

[Rah]

Mine was about 160 on a 4 door sedan about 18 months ago. That was an SAU group buy and done to a very high standard.

[R31Nismoid]

Well why dont you ring and find out?

Just a thought

[sillylankan]

Doesnt really remember if its a backyard job or not.. It all depends on their experince and whether they know if they are doing it properly or not. Got mine done in this guys house, not only it was half the price but the job was done better than most of the tint places.

I posted up as a suggestion, I have my R33 done there as well!

Well said buddy. The guy works for a major car manufacturer. and yes, he does it at his place. The job was well done IMHO.

i wanted to get my widows tinted aswell, just wondering if tint professors quality is good? if anyone has tried them? or any other places ppl can recommend.

i want to get 35% darkness (legal) on front 2 windows and 20% on other windows, does anyone have a pic with similiar tints - i just want to see if it looks odd or not

cheers

Just so you are aware, 35% is the maximum legal darkness on all windows including rear ones.

I can see the tendancy to want to go illegal. Both my cars have had tint darker than the legal limit. 35% is really not dark at all, in the pic above of the white 33 its really the angle that makes the 35's look kinda dark there, in real life they will just look like a camry tint.

I have 5% on my car at the moment on all the windows (my choice so don't try and tell me how silly it is as i have heard it all before from others who don't have the tint) and it really does look quite good. Not as hard to see out of as everyone makes out, i even still have the optioned rear blind in my car ( Broad daylight and no chance of seeing through the back from outside ) Reversing in side streets at night can be a bit of a problem though ah well its the price you pay i guess for a stealthier look. (keeps the car nice and cool on the inside too ) 20% is a good medium, noticably darker than the 35's whilst not looking super illegal or too hard to drive with at night.

"All windows of a motor vehicle, other than windscreens available to the driver to obtain a view of the road or other road users must have a light transmittance of at least 35 per cent...", it then mentions that its desirable windows to the side and ahead of the driver are not reduced below 70% transmittance, and another section on windscreens say it can only be tinted during manufacturing.

If this rule is 35% tint all round then there would be a lot of vans and other cars been defected for the black tint that you cannot see through?

Can someone please clarify the above?

Is the rear windscreen not a window that the driver uses to obtain a view of the road (trying to understand the tinting laws)?
