what tint do you have

hi im getting some tint put on and just wondering what looks the best i know 35 is the legal darkest but im sure alot of people go darker just wondering what you guys have on yours

on my wagon ive got 5% all around the back, and darkest legal 35% just on the 2 front windows.

legally you are allowed to have 5% except if it blocks view of the driver and/or L/P plates.

this is in victoria by the way.

i got mine from TopTint.

Nah mate, Vic laws are the same as SA.

70% for the front windows, 35% for the rear.

Here it is from the Victorian Roads Vehicle Standards Information 2:

All windows of a motor vehicle, other than windscreens, available to the driver to obtain a view of the road or other road users must have a light transmittance of at least 35 per cent. However, it is desirable that the light transmittance of windows to the side and ahead of the driver is not reduced below 70 percent.

i had 35 on the sides and 20 on the of my VS ute and on my VZ i have 20 all round. from experience i wouldnt get darker then 35. 20 is just that little too hard to see out of at night

20% all around.

Had 5% but got defected, so I had to rip it off or replace it.

 

[WAGON MAN]

35% on the 4 doors of the wagon

20% on side rear windows and the rear door of the wagon.....

35% all round and thats plenty dark enough. darker than that on any window you will look through or be seen through is looking for an accident.

desirable, but not a requirement.

Not according to TopTint who are professionals.

Also, i have been pulled over a number of times by Police in the last 3 months that i have had the tint done, and none of them have had a problem with it?

Aslong as they arent obstructing view of the driver it is perfectly legal.

Well I got my windows tinted yesterday, but I don't know what % it is.

What do you guys, think it is?
