I've got a VC Valiant with venetiants on the back window, it looks hot.

Try getting it done on your car, not his.

Windows on my AU2 are 35% which I believe is the darkest legal here in SA.

They offered me the chance to go darker and stuff, but told me that it could be a waste of money due to defection or cops slashing it.

When i get mine done i want them to be darker then the legal tint does anyone have suggestions which % is the besT?

[OED666]

i have had mine tinted a few times.

1 - T35, darkest legal
2 - T5 over the T35 on the rear doors and back window. Good luck seeing in, even with peoples faces right next to the glass
3 - T15, removed all the tint, after it stuffed up. Very happy with this tint.


T35 + T5





As it is now

Mate, any cop may defect my car, but I pity any Mr Plod that tries to slash my window tint. : : ing_sm : :jab: out:

[4VCLEVO]

all my cars have the darkest legal tint

[MITCHAY]

My windows are tinted and it looks good. I couldn't justify paying for it though to be honest. It just came with it! :

[tankclare]

i have 20% on all the windows of the pano except the front obviously..You cant see in unless your right up against the window with your hands cupped hahaha..I LOVE IT!

Going to pass for rego was a worry because i almost got failed because of how dark the tint is..but all was good.

[FORD3V]

Yes they are.

[EdFairmontGhia]

It's funny how the darkest legal tint is not really that dark....

[freak6]

iv got mine tinted 15% rear window and 35% sides.
but im goin to get the sides redone 15% also.

I like the look of a car with tint (looking at it from outside) but find it to dark (even with light tint) to see out of when dark or rainy.

[VeloXR6]

Australia ? No Tint ? WTF?

Seriously in the middle of summer I have seen falcons chew through 25L/100K trying to remove the heat from an untinted car in the city.

Not that I really care about fuel consumption - I tint because it looks good ... but you need to keep the outside of the car clean for them to look thier best.

This is the reason 35% VLT was chosen as the legal limit in most states. Anything darker and you may not be able to see clearly in adverse conditions.

We've had people come in who've had 5% fitted to their 4wd only to find they can't see out the back window at night or they've backed over the kid's bikes or something.

I've used a film called EMINM35 on the 'phoon as it's as dark as you can legally go and offers the highest heat reduction (50%) of any legal film on a BA/BF Falcon. It's a non metal film so as not to interfere with the radio reception. It looks particularly good against the Rapid colour.

Yep I'm tinted...Just factory tint from Ford I had done when the car was new (Sentry or Centry isn't it)....I'm not sure whether the factory tint as low as it can go legally...anyone know?
