hey, im planning to get my windows tinted but have a few questions, first of all i know u can tint all your windows except the front, and also know they do it by shades etc.

So im planning to go the darkest legal tint which blocks 99%UV and offers more privacy and security. So that leaves me with which windows should i get tinted?

- all windows except the front

- rear window and the 2 qaurter windows at the rear

- other (sugesstions)

I asked around for some price qoutes and they vary around $200, fairly expensive for just somefilms. If you guys know any other places that do a good job and is cheap in adel please post.

Thanks in advance, nada.

$200 isnt that bad. its not that had to do it yourself but the back screen can be a prick cause of its size. in my oppinion well worth the money and not have the stress of screwing it up.

plus if you spend a bit to get it done you know it will be done right. nothing worse than seeing a car where the tint is all peeling off. just make sure you go to a place that offers a warrenty on the job.

+1 +1 +1!!!

and Do as much as you can, looks silly if you only do the qtr's.

Also you might be able to do the top section of the front windscreen, not sure if that's still allowed or not??

i got my window tints done, all up cost me $200 bucks which is awsome other places where charging around 270 - 320!

the tint was for the rear windscreen and all the sides, however the catch is the driver and passegnger side have to be 70% and the darkest you can go is 35% (the lower the darker)

BUT he was a nice guy and was like tell you what ill just do 35% all the way through! but if you get pulled over dont mention this place! LOL sure thing!

After the tinting was done i asked how much it wouldve cost if i wanted darker etc and he was like nuts, should have said so before same price mate as darkest as you want, you can even get a mirror tint, i was like dang too late. i could have went presidential 5% LOL

The point is i got my tinting done for a good price :)

OH and my brother who has a 2001 WRX got his front windscreen replaced from the same guys the next day because he had small stone chips on his, he got qouted for $400+ at O'briens and the place i recommended him only charged $140 and this was quality glass not that china crap O'briens gets!

If you want the contact details, just pm me. and ill arrange what ever you need :down:

So you got the legal 35% all the way around??

I got 18% all the way around. Best thing i did to my car after suspension upgrade. Awesome driving around in the middle of the day with the windows up no glare at all.

Nice!, did you have tint on before hand, if so does that price include removing old tint and then applying the new, or do u need new glass if its already got tint applied?

lol, awesome driving at night in the pitch black too? lol

Err well it's not as dark as you would think and it takes all of a few moments to get used to it. Most places you drive at night have street lights anyway... therefore don't notice it. If you went somewhere that didn't have street lights it doesn't matter if you have crystal clear windows or 5% tint. Unless you can see in the dark that is :) can you?

    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
    • The front lip and headlights are making me do more look backs when I leave the car. I totally love it.
    • Its only inside the headlights, all other wiring I've seen has been fine (and I've seen a lot). I (and others online) are just speculating its due to the thousands of heat cycles inside the headlights. Not making excuses though, its crap.
    • Hi Luke. Yeah I actually ordered a set of muse ones from highintakeperformance. They are delivering them to me this weekend after 3 months. I think they are replicas of the nismo ones in a different material if I am not mistaken. 
    • You could have a chat to these guys and empty your bank account, I like their de-stroked 2.5 combo. https://esslingeracing.com/mazda-4-v-per-cylinder-4-cyl-engines/mzr-2-5l
