When I got my tint here in Perth the dealer told me that my percentage of tint was 33% which is the darkest legal tint available. Oh and tinting in the rear is allowed, not the front though.

The darkest legal in Australia is 35% ~ Your dealer is weird ~ Hehe ~

Yea.....tinting back but not front ~ Damn that sucks though.....I mean.....the front's the most important ~

Guess I'll have to buy those sun cover things for my car ~ Just to make sure the sun won't damage the interior of my car ~

go for the darkest legal tint

it will look pimpin

jaspie · 01-23-2007, 10:26 AM

Can someone explain to me how Darkest Legal Tint works ~

I thought I knew until I called today and they told me the tint I'm getting is 20%??? That means it's not legal??

Hmmm.....*google it*

SmellyTofu · 01-23-2007, 03:28 PM

35% is the legal limit. Any darker and you could:

1) be knocked back for pink slips
2) be defected by the police

It's easily checked as all cop cars have a light meter. Whilst 35% isn't "that" dark, it's not too dark to trouble you at nights.

Btw, what 35% means is that 35% of light is transmitted from a light source on one side through the glass and tint to the other side. (I hope that clears it up).

Speedz · 01-23-2007, 06:46 PM

20% thats alright...

Mine is a dealer tinted... crap should have known better...

jaspie · 01-23-2007, 10:47 PM

Yea.....I called them and they told me 20% and it is past the legal tint (35%) and they told me I will have some risks ~ They said that 20% 3M film is a bit lighter than other 20% films ~

What do you guys think? Take the risk or go for the 35% one?

Jaspie ~

ASHRAF · 01-24-2007, 02:24 AM

i think u should see the two films and choose what suits you

u have to decide bro

for me...dark tint looks awesome with such small car

SmellyTofu · 01-24-2007, 03:57 AM

Jaspie, I think you know the consequences if you run outside the legal side. You're an adult now.

Ditto.

I took a risk with painting my head lights..since im not allowed to do that, everytime i see cops driving the opp direction they always stare at my headlights.

Jaspie if u want 20 go for it, wanna play it safe go for 35.

jaspie · 01-24-2007, 07:19 AM

hmmm.......

Thanks guys ~ Will think about that ~

Jaspie ~

ASHRAF · 01-24-2007, 07:25 AM

Yea......I think you're right ~

The 20% looked really nice and the 35% looked too light but to be on the safe side ~ I think I'll go with 35%......the lady at the shop said it will be lighter than what it looks on the samples ~

Hope so ~
