Tinting Windows

[Charles89]

I'm gonna get my windows tinted very soon, but I'm not sure what % to get. I was thinking to get the quarter windows darker than the side windows and won't tint the back. So I'm just wondering what do you guys reckon? and maybe someone has pictures of their cars that's tinted?

About half way down the page. It'd help if you used the search button.

Nah, tint the same all the way around. Otherwise it'd look really wierd. Definately do the back tho. I think the darkest legal tint is 30%, but I'm looking at going much darker than that. Maybe black spray paint??

I'd go 15% - 20% for the sides and 20% - 30% for the rear

any darker and you'll have trouble seeing at night

[gtrzilla]

5% all way round - and deal with it!

[moobaque]

i have i think 30% on the sides and 20% on the back. looks great IMHO.

[NA_Goodness]

I'm tossing up between 20% and 5% all round. My mate had 5% on his VP and it was easy to live with, but it might be too obvious for the cops. Any one here have 5%? Do you guys have any troubles with Police interest?

[POLICE]

I know 1 guy who had 15% done, wanted darker and went 4 the 5%

wack .. got defected, had to change them back to 15%, and that was on a lil old charade

[NA_Goodness]

If the charade got done, how do we stand a chance? Seriously thinking going Limo. Wind down the windows and stay behind the cops, should be safe. 15% is still illegal tho! The darkest is 35% in WA, i think it might be 30% in other states tho

5% for the last 6 years - defected lots of times, never for tint though.

5%

I've never been pulled up in about 3 years.

Who cares about legalities, it looks cool and most decent mods you'll do down the track will be defectable. Why not add to the collection =)

35 is legal in vic. so 35% on the sides and 20% on quarters and rears

[br3ndan]

i did mine 35 or 30... whatever the darkest legal is in WA ...all the way around...

Best to attract the lest amount of police attention esp when driving a modified car... Going to the pits is painful! and it only takes one bastard cop thats in a bad mood to do you for it.

Thats just my thinking anyway =)

but i heard that if u get illegal tint, u could have some problems when ur making an insurance claim

[Fungus Mungus]

i got 30 on sides and 25 on the back, slight mirror on it as well. looks real nice on a silver 33, but even the darkest legal is difficult to see out of at night. got mine done at australian auto tint on maroondah hwy in ringwood near car city. did it for about 300 bucks and it comes with a lifetime warranty against fade, bubble, and clouding. nice bloke too.

[Craved]

35 % only applies to cars made after 1 august 1994 according to ADR's

any new tint if proven must be 35%
