RTHRTY3 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Where can i get cheap window tinting from, anyone know of or recommend me a place to get it done? Cause right now the darkest i could go is the 35% is dat right? Cause i'm willing to go to 20% tint. A quote i got for the 35% premium metal tint is about $270 does that sounds fair? I got a R33 by the way. Thanx in advance. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

memphis Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 give me a PM if you want and ill work out a price, it will be cheaper than anywhere else, but your car will be a bit of an experiment (never done a r33 before) probobally could do 20% premium for about $180 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-562421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I will be interested but as it is an 'experiment ' if stuffs up do you pay to fix...? Just gotta make sure from the straight out.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Kym, That would make your tint illegal, I for one don't want to spend money on tint only to have a yellow sticker tell me I have to remove it:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-563116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ix9 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Does it? :dumb-look: I don't care, I can't stand legal tint (looks stupid, and is still hot) I can rest my arm on the window and not get burnt, i can look at the sun directly without squinting, and stare at people without them seeing me.... and it's not dangerously dark ie. Limo tint, and i've been pulled over a few times and cops have said nothing (doesn't stand out like a sore thumb) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-563187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Kym, They changed the laws last year, both on the amount of trasmitted light and on reflectivity. I think yours looks sweet, but I don't want to spend $200 then get told to take it off like I did with my last lot:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-563289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta make sure from the straight out. I am sure you understand. Yea as Milo said, same here. Strich9ine: Yes i think GTS-t VSPEC is right they change the law and the darkest legal i think is now 35% although i don't mine 20% as long as i could get certified saying that its alright. Cause could shove it at the cops face later when they pull me over! raasclaat or Zanda: Wats the guys number? Might give him a buzz. Rezz: How much can you get for it? Cheers all.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 All cops have been given special meters to measure your tint, if it says it is dark I bet I can guess where they'll tell you to shove your permit:D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-563383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crock, listen to a scanner and hear them calling for other units with "alky's" and "tint checker" *sigh* Guess I'm just lucky..

Hicks Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 My tint aint to legal, Looks f#ckin sweet though. Was done by current trendz. Nice and dark, nice and reflective. Pits failed me cause it was to dark, the second time I went over, they pulled off the sticker. Didn't even care that I hadn't done anything to the tint.

raasclaat Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 i think all cops carry those 35% cards..not really a meter, just a card they stick behind your window with a "35%" on it. if you cant read the writing from the outside then its possibly too dark/reflective and they yellow you. thats what they used on me last year.

Its just a different shape car, its not like i never tinted before Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/26596-window-tinting/#findComment-566473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fane Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 talking to a tint guy he said the law now says 28 grade is the legal limit but you can quite easily get away with 35 grade... this was about a month ago... i in the deliema of how dark i should go too... i think i'll be going straight for the 35 mark as i dont like to have to worry as i drive past cops too much.... my pod is clamped by a metal bar and everything else is legal yellows are my enemy as i got one on my old car....for no reason at all....didnt do anything and it went straight through the pits...
