Legal Window Tint?

[Ljayy]

hey guys does anyone know what the legal window tint percentage is??

[a20089]

35% transparancy unless it a trade vehicle

How come tradies get to bend the law?

[Ljayy]

Damn I just got 15%

[RS4-S]

in ACT its 35% (+/- 5%) so technically 30% transparency can slide but 29% is over the limit.

In NA catergory vehicles (van and utes) you can have any tint you want on any glass behind the drive, the front 2 windows must still meet the 35%.

you cant have any kind of film below that little marker on your winscreen.

as for reflective/metallic/mirror tint you can't have more that 8% reflective (unless its on the back of a ute or van, in which case you can paint in the windows if you like)

15% is pretty dark, you'll find yourself putting the window down at night just to see out

When I bought my car from a dude in QLD, it had 5% tint on every window except the windscreen.

don't even consider going that dark, it was STUPID. Couldn't see a thing through them at night, and could barely seen into them even during the day.

[myRB25DETT]

What would be the ideal figure then guys?? As im thinking of getting my windows tinted..

[Trozzle]

just go whatever the legal limit is, 35%. Will save you trouble with the police and won't be stupidly dark

[waxracing]

I have 5% on my driver, awesome love it

[Trozzle]

Whether you like it or not is one thing, I for one thought it looked awesome from the outside. Fact remains, you CANNOT see through it in either direction at night, and it's illegal. You'd be stupid to have a car that gets driven in any kind of darkness with that kind of tint on the door-windows.

[waxracing]

I can see through at night, however I have great eyesight

I suggest reducing your masturbation count down to once a week may improve your eyesight and you will be fine.

[Trozzle]

Yeah, you can see OUT at night but only barely, far from safe or advisable.

However if you want to be a cocky smartass as you've been in the past, I'd suggest taking it elsewhere. The guy was asking for advice, which you gave. We don't want you to hang around stroking it over having such good eyesight.

If you dont like a retort dont start it.

Have I been bad in the past boo hoo get over it

You're the one who got butthurt last time buddy, but whatever works huh. I didn't argue with you either, given your point was "love it" and I agreed it looks awesome.

Yeah 15% would be a bit much still at night, if only it was possible to get something (cheap) completely black from the outside but barely a shade darker from the inside...

who is this bender? cos his saying that with 5% of the visible light transmission at night, which means 95% of visible light is blocked out by the tint that he can see clear as day (night), i dont think Troys the one with his hand on it mate. you'll be able to see headlights and street lights and about fark all else on the street.

by the way its useless pricks like you that clog up informative threads with your bullshit. so make like a tree and faaaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkk off

ON TOPIC:

afew months back i did a rego on a V35 and it had 35% front 2 windows and 20% on the rears and 15% on the back. looked sweet i rekon, either though its not legal, either though half the stuff people do to cars these days isnt legal anyway

Clearly your a bit blind either that or you cant read. I said I can see through it well enough. I never made it was the same non tinted windows.

And all of a sudden because I dont have the same opinion as you im a bender?.

I can never understand people that dont agree that have to get abusive as your self to try and make your point

clearly you don't agree that's fine say it and move on.
