bmorr Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 got 35% on my sisters car it looks sweeeeeeeeeet.... def. do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 20% isn't legal. that leads me to raise the question. Do they still enforce that. I'd really like 20% all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 17, May 2005 Author Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 ej my man, i can get warranty for 20% at the rear and 35% on the sides .... to me thats legal enough because if the tinter is willing to do it, his ass is on the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatta Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 to me thats legal enough because if the tinter is willing to do it, his ass is on the line Actually its yours... the owner of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vukie Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 I had a 15% tint on my last car for about 3 years. It was lowered, exhaust, wheels, i was pulled over many times for RBT's, once for speeding , and a couple time into a defect bay and it was never spotted and never defected for anything... I say go for the darkerst you can get, i would get the 15% on the clio again if i didnt already have tint on it, but i will say this, 15% is very dark, it will take some getting used to, during the day it is fine but at night it can be a worry, in dark streets i had to wind my window down when pulling out of intersections so i could see out of it! My old beast with 15% tints, this is on a sunny day even with the massive rear window you can hardly see in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 17, May 2005 Author Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 ok... legal tint - get warranty and receipt illegal tint - no warranty, no receipt getting my drift here ? if someone gets a darker rear and gets warranty and receipt, and car gets defected, the tinter will be responsible as he has sold u a defective product (if u want to call it that), and will have to remove and put legal tint on it tit for tat yes im responsible, but that is how "tinting works" .. having said that - im not too fussed with legality issues as i had a car with 15% tint and never got defected... (BUT ALSO MADE IT DAMM HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT !!!!! Shocked ) just wanna see opinions on whether a darker rear will look good or silly - thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 darker than 35% is legal if you own a commercial vehicle such as a ute, van or possibly even station wagon. and yeah at the end of the day, you get busted, your problem, not the tinter!

ClioF1 Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 The no warranty and no receipt is just the tinter trying to get out of any liability, but at the end of the day the OWNER is responsible for roadworthiness. I wouldn't go the darkest you can get because that would mean 5% like on my mate's Subaru wagon and its wayyy too dark. It is legal to get darker tinting at the back I believe, many people do it on station wagons but i'm not sure of the regs with a hatch.

portal Posted 17, May 2005 Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 In Victoria they only look at the driver and front passenger windows. Pretty much ALL tint is illegal anyway. It's just not enforced unless you cant see through the window. I have been done for this before, VIC Roads showed me a sample of a legal tint and believe me it looked clear. I don't know what kind of tint I have, but its more of a mirror tint. Looks wicked and I think it reflects the sun more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 17, May 2005 Author Report Share Posted 17, May 2005 we have a mirror, mirror tint is DEF illegal LOL but yeah i think ur right F1 regarding the darker rear on wagons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Posted 18, May 2005 Report Share Posted 18, May 2005 20% is a nice shade. I use to get it on my cars prior to it becoming illegal! not too dark, not too light. 35% on my RSC is too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC172 Posted 18, May 2005 Report Share Posted 18, May 2005 I got 20% on my black 172 all round, looks great too. I say go for it, never had a problem with police in regards to the tint darkness either. ClioF1 is right, at the end of the day if YOU get defected for illegal tinit, it's YOUR responsibility to pay and get it changed. Make sure you use 3M tint too, it's the best stuff to use by far and any reputable tint place should be using their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 18, May 2005 Author Report Share Posted 18, May 2005 35% metalised tint film, 20% rear ... $185 mobile service 35% all round would cost $165 loox great ... PM me for details if you are interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black04RSC Posted 18, May 2005 Report Share Posted 18, May 2005 Les, I don't know how accurate this information is but i've been told if you are driving an unroadworthy car (illegal tint) your insurance will be null and void. From previous experience with insurance companies if they can get out of paying a claim, they will. More of a worry than getting hassled by the cops i think...

Guest Reepa Posted 6, July 2005 Report Share Posted 6, July 2005 Hey guys, I just sold my Eunos 30X and am seriously looking into getting the RSC Cup F1, so i'm basically doing some homework! Anyway (to get to the point) I had 70% tint on the back window of my 30X and 50% on the sides. Being a dark car, it looked great, however dont recommend the 70% u cant see crap at night - luckily the 30X has a a bottom window u can see out of that doesnt get tinted. A 50% tint would be borderline at night, a 30% to 40% would be perfect IMO. Cheers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
