    its 20% all round, its also **** easy to see through from the inside, looking through from the outside you can only see bright coloured things, if its in higher light, you can see inside more,

    love the tint colour, depth etc highly recomended,

    (i thinks its a madico film)

    ps. love your monaro

    a little tip, next time to debadge a car just heat it up with hair dryer (YES) then use fishing line to cut inbetween the glue and the paint, wont actually touch the paint, otherwise you run the risk off damaging the nice duco if you slip with that nasty rag covered screw driver :P, shes got potential nice wagon mate

    nice work andyman, i also went with 20percent on my wags and couldnt be happier, altho barbs jus remember it may be a touch darker on the manaro since it doesnt let as much light in compared to the wags

    a few little things have happened of late, i had a small ding removed from my tailgate, while it was being re-sprayed which was paid for by holden,

    and ive installed a clarion 12inch single sub in clarion enclosure with amp, i set it up with terminals on the leads so i cant quicky unplug and remove. looks neat,

    a ss strut brace has also been fitted

    i also installed extra wiring to accommodate a uhf radio when i get around to it,

    check out that engine bay wiring, tried to make it look factory, looks pretty good i reckon

    picture of the exhaust fitted up, not loud but has a noticeable deeper tone to it, and if you give it some revs in neutral/park it comes out with the occasional pop/crackle,

    will have to post up a pic of the tips havnt got a pic right now,

    i also have a video of it running with the exhaust dumped at the cats

    its not to bad actually, appears to give it a little bit down low, and seems to be a good thing for economy so far, down to 11.2l/100km atm .

    getting a tune done soon, so hopefully a good torque gain comming up

    very nice!
    i was thinking bout putting the ss exhaust on to keep costs down thinking there'd be a few around from the amount of ss with aftermarket on.
    i just bought a june 05 executive wagon from auctions with a police pack fitted
    i'll upload pics soon
