VE Window Tint

I got mine tinted with mirror like tint (do it your self)
the shop with a few Indian guys did it for 60 R.S = less than 18$

EVIL isn't it

 

is that mirror tint legal in Saudi? In Australia, its not

 

tints = sporty?

Where have i been?

 

on the subject of tints - is there a big difference in choosing a 20 (illegal) tint over the 35 (legal)? Would i have trouble seeing things at night with the darker tint?
And would it be a problem with insurance, if i let them know i got my windows tinted (do i have to tell them what type of tint?)

 

i have a 15% tint, its dark as at night and i do sometimes have to strain or roll a window at night. I do live on county roads, which is where i have the issues. In well lit streets its no problem.
Insurance companies may find the tint contributed to an incident if there is one.
You will need to tell your insurance company about the tint, but not what type.

 

no it's not, also driving 120+ ... but who cares, it's the best country for driving and only driving, we got rules, but not one obay them , INCLUDING the cops !

Colored Tint

I have seen a couple of cars with window tinting that has a color running through the tint at the bottom of the side window..does anyone know if anywhere in Melbourne does this type of tint?

Cheers

 

like this you mean



yep Top Tint in mornington did mine (web site) Car Tinting - Top Tint Vehicle Tinting - Mornington - Melbourne

 

If it's illegal then the isn't roadworthy. If it ain't roadworthy, you're not insured. Least that's how it works in the UK and I assume it's the same here. Insurance companies will look for any excuse to avoid payouts so why take the chance?
I got the darkest legal tint on mine and it's grouse - you can't see in through the side windows until you get really close. The windscreen doesn't get touched (least as afar as I can tell) so there's no problem seeing out the front. The rear view can be harder, but if people use their headlights properly there's no problem - the wing is much more an issue actually.

 

I don't normally like red cars - but I have to say that looks bloody good! Did you consider adding SSV tail-lights to finish it off?

 

I dont usually like the VE's by the shape but dammm that looks good with the wheels n tint.

If only they came standard like that!

 

Hi all i just had my new VE tinted yesterday by Tint-a-Car and both of my back windows are 10mm short of the centre panel (you can visiblyt see where the tint stops). Has anyone else had this drama??? I was told that the film cannot get any closer to the edge of the glass... Any help would be fantastic

 

I have a WM Caprice with tint and the tint covers all of the glasses. The rears go all the way to the pillar. My rear windows would be longer than yours, so there's no argument that the tint wouldn't reach...

 

terrific post... saved me typing it all out!

insurance companies are a business. they pay their assessors A LOT of money pa to try and find a way to not have to pay out. They are looking for any technicality... rims 1" bigger than they should be, tint that is too dark, not enough ground clearance, engine mods.... anything. Anything at all to not have to pay out (or at minimum serverely lower the payout).

Unroadworthy = Uninsured.

Is it really worth having 22" fully sick bling bling chromies or black as night tint (mirror or colour shaded illegal too in NSW btw), if they void your insurance and then you need to pay for that Merc and the drivers busted back for the rest of your life?

 

WOW! That is amazing! Wish they had that in Auckland!
