lol, low is definitely on it's way. And it will definitely be done panel by panel. Had some long days of late so getting time to do it after work and around noise restrictions can be tricky. It'll get there though. Just ticked over around 1400km and it just feels so much nicer than the last one. The bits I liked are the same and the bits that bugged me are different. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

need better neighbours if noise restrictions limit you.....either that or be more threatening lol. I have a bad habit of leaving my compressor on over night and that thing is damn loud when I kicks in. the neighbours know to come and see me or call if I am disturbing them and I will pack up. no complaints yet and I do check up regularly. just get into it dude!!

No issue with the neighbours - just don't want to push it. They're fine with late night polishing and the like - I just try not to tempt fate by running the compressor in the wee hours lol. Definitely getting into it this week though. Looking forward to it even though I don't get paid for this one!

Nice, tinny, I'm jealous.

Any chance of getting some pics of the tint during the day, I'm trying to decide between 25, 30 and 35% for mine...

Cheers guys. Really happy with it to be honest.

And Hex, you wouldn't be the first client I've had from ACT - just have to brave the road trip north ;)

I'll take some over the next day or so if I get a chance. IMO, from those options, 25% will look the best - but any thermal or UV benefits will be negligible if you're going with a quality film. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I do miss the darker tint of my old car from a cosmetic perspective but went with 35% to keep it all above board and legal this time.

Probably a bit late, but here's the 35% carbon tint in full sun

Should be a bit easier to spot on the road now that this is installed...
