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.

West what car have you ended up with now??

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'

i had a cop go over my 32 which had mirror tints on the rear 1/4s and they werent an issue.. these were mirrored silver... not like some of the other tints out there which only mirror on angles... it was like an actual mirror :) apart from the bit which had a sheep dog burnt into it lol

west - lol we dont change that much... altho i wouldnt mind going back to a 32 :) yeah josies good mate... we'll have to catch up for coffee or something

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

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
