[Dum*P*ster]

Every company that offers window tint can I believe

However, if you cop a fine for it your stuck with it.. The company who did your tinting can not be fined for it nor will they refund you the $$$

[vnwpn2]

My local place wont do it for my Patrol

[strgas]

try dr tint he has done afew cars for me at trade price in limo tint for less than regular tint ,,, yet to be booked for limo tint on my daily drive

[phatvtcom]

don't go tint a car dude, theres plenty other places way cheaper and the same quality.If you live in Melbourne, Professional window tint in dandy is pretty good, he charges $200 for a four door and does all dark shades down to 5%

P.S. 15% is pretty dark and way illegal, try 20% to be a little safer

%15 really isn't that dark. Have a chat to Teppa on this forum, He's based in Frankston area from memory and will do a bloody good price on any darkness you want, with lifetime guarantee. He did mine maybe 6 months ago, Highly recommended.

Bit pointless if you get pulled over by the cops because off it will come lol.

Guess certain tint companies are different, i got 20% all round & only got charged $280 from Solartint here in Castle Hill.

Mate, if you wanna go darker you will asking for trouble from the cops. It'll cost you shedloads more to get it all taken off, and then the legal one put back on. they won't just give you a fine either, they will yellow sticker your car for being "unroadworthy", then they will go over the whole lot and you could be up for so much more.

Not worth doing it, unless you have unlimited funds coming in from somewhere and a whole heap of spare time to do it..........

What's the deal with it being illegal? we can see out of it easily enough. why do the cops mind so much? the front windscreen doesnt get tinted or nything so doesnt impair our vision.

its not the police's choice. its due to the ADRs, police just have to enforce it.

It's also so that the police can easily see thru your car windows and see if you are doing the right thing or not, ie: wearing seatbelts, not using a mobile whilst driving, making sure only the amount of people are in the car that the car is registered for etc etc.

Alot of these things aren't turned into rules just to pee you off or to make your life difficult, alot of it is to make sure that you are doing the right thing and to keep you safe if you aren't.

I suppose thats their purpose. Just I always have seatbelt on etc and now I can't have more than midnight express :P

I don't care about the cops .. just don't want every stupid baboon looking in

its a lot harder to see out at night time, my mate had a VT clubby with 5% all round, between the tint and that rear spoiler, goodluck trying to back out of car spots and see if anyone is behind. 15% not that much darker and I beleive on any vehicle you can go for 20% on the back, in saying that, i've always had 20% all around and the cops have never picked it, they cant check on the spot and usually wont even bother if you are not being a smart ass.

[W84N01]

Their usual way of checking overe here in WA is with a business card. They will open your door andplace it against the window on the inside, if they can't read it clearly, you'r tint is too dark, and that is all they would need to sticker the car to make sure it's checked out properly.

I think they also have a specific card now that they can do an on the spot text with it.

actually all HWP cars are being outfitted with devices which test the amount of tint.

just google Teppas Tinting.

im not sure why everyone thinks as soon as you put anything darker than legal tint on you will get nailed by the cops. I have had either 5% or 15% on all my cars for past 10 years, even had a 4x4 with alayer of 5 and 35% (now that was dark).

i have never been pulled over due to the tint, been pulled over for spending and other things but each time they never made comment over my tint. Comes down to how you drive and if you get pulled over how you react.

drive like a idiot and speak to the cops with disrespect then they will nail you on anything than can.

if your looking for tint Teppa Tinting has been doing all my cars for past 8 years. You will be hard pressed to find someone better.
