Hi all,

anyone know where i can get reflect/mirror tint for my car? Only for quater back and rear window so it should be legal isn't it? I had it on my old 33 but that came from JP. I don't want to go through all this hassle getting my sister sending all the way from the state ( as you know they bitch and winch too much :( )?

Cheers

Are you looking for just the tint film or a company to do it as well?

I can recommend the company that we had the group buy for on Whitehorse Rd in Mitcham. Think it was Premier Tint. Very good pricing and awesome job.

My cars got a black mirror tint.. Its legal, the Tint professor people did it for me.
:rofl:

Just because a business sells/fits it doesn't mean it is legal, otherwise Autobarn would be out of business :D

Give Vicroads a call and just ask the question, you may be disappointed :(.

I had mirror tint, it was spliced, half mirror half black, got it cheap because the Tint company used my car as a promo car. I tell you now, no Tint place in melb has it, ive been searching high and low, they have full mirror, but full looks shitty, this film goes black into mirror, and the guy in Perth I got it off imported the film from the US. Created a stunning effect and everyone turns heads to look, it kinda looks like a silhouette so the cops dont really look twice unless there right next to you and yes on the 1/4 panel its LEGAL!

i was also under the impression that if it reflects light like a silver reflecting tint, it is considered illegal. falls under the same category as strobe lights and underbody neons/flashing neons....distraction to drivers. I know you can make the rear triangle mirrors as dar as you want but dont know about the legality of the silver reflecting tint.....in melbourne anyway.

So what happen to car like my old 33 that has mirro tint and made it through compliance? I though you can have whatever you want but only quater back and rear?

did anyone actually TEST the tints? if you got tint that you claim is legal, go to a cop who has the tint measuring device thing, and he will tell you! haha you cant have whatever you want on the back cos then you wont be able to see clearly at nite if its too dark. besides West, i like look at your interior when its parked in Glen Waverley at nites haha

If there was a way to get matt black windows that would look sweet me thinks.. maybe I'm just dreamin'

back and side 1/4s can be as dark as u want... u can paint them black if u like as long as u have both mirrors.

ok looks like that rule has changed

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
