i need to get some window tinting done and ive read the past threads and it states that the darkest legal tint is 35%....

just wondering what most of you guys have on your skylines like is it 20% or are most of you liners on 35% tints...

Also what would you go for, the mirror finish effect or just the plaine dark tints as i dont want ppl to be checking out whats inside the car

thanks again

wish limo tint was legal,that would keep damn car burglers away.I use a 35% 3M security tint,its expensive but the new trend nowadays especially for audi's and bmw's.One night i heard my alarm and stupidly ignored it.The next day i saw the black rubber on top of the door been like jacked up somehow.My driver mirror just had like a scratch line.No cracks,but had to fix the rubber thing cos the mirror wont go up and down properly.Mine's plain dark tint.Looks good.

3M surcurity tint is good but... most of tint places will only do window bits... that you can see... not the hole lot!

to do that tinting shop must take your door out and tint the whole glass...

what's the point doing surcurity tint when they smash it then ripp it out with hands... especially skylines have no metal surrounding so it is even easier!

so ask them if they can tint whole glass bits!

cheers

i got the sum,mer breeze on my astina ages ago and i hate it its ugly and looks brown, im going top of the range for my skyline soon, $400 odd but it is well worth getting the formula one, but most likely im going to get a 'under the counter' job and get it darker than legal

hmmm I beg to differ about mirror tint looking "homo gay" ...

PSIKO on this forum has mirror on his Silvia, and in the day time it looks hot. At night time it looks just like dark tint.

Prolly not the best example but the only one I could find for the moment:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
