    mate $300 is a good price, especially for a wagon..
    don't cheap out on tint or it'll go purple and bubbly and you will hate yourself for not spending the little bit extra every day that you drive your car...

    I don't have a tint yet so i may not be very credible here, but while shopping around I've been told several times that it depends when you drive your car... Ergo, if you do very much night driving, don't go too dark.

    legal tint is 35%, on hatches i think you can go 20% on the back but not many shops will tell you that and on commercial registered vehicles, vans stationwagons whatever, you can black the back windoe right out

    yea cost $200 for my ve ute but that was for 15% on all windows, i knew you could go as dark as you wanted on back window of a commercial vehicle, he said mirror tint, colour tint and anything darker then 35% is illegal but they do it anyway lol
