Window tinting

[riojin]

what is the darkest legal tinting i can get? is it different for the windscreen? can you even tint the windscreen?

[sketchy]

think it varies from different state but in nsw it should be 30% max tint
i prefer 18% of dark tint looks nice and ghetto :2thumbs:
5% if your daring enough to do limousine black haha
don't think your legally allowed to have the front windsceen tinted.. only the top section or a full light blue/orange tint (european)

heres a random pic from a big tinting company 'solace'.. they charge an arm and a leg would rather go to smaller places >200$
but you get to see the different qualilty (the dearer means more metal in the tint meaning its stronger and will last for more years)
the security tint is supposively a antitheft tint <_< doesnt make the window shatter or some shit lol

dame wanna get mah hachi tinted now!

That list is expensive.

I paid $350 for the darkest tint i could find, Couldn't see in it at all. Cops didn't give me shit about it either and got defected for other things.

I thought the cost related to the quality of the film rather than the darkness of tint?

D'oh, I fail at reading..

Don't quote me, but I do believe that it isn't that hard to tint yourself... a panel beater told me that

But don't quote me, cause I'm probably wrong lol

I think I've seen too many of those purple, bubbly home tint jobs to even consider a DIY job, for the money I'd go to the shop every time.
