mate has 15% on his fiat and it is shocking at night. parking and reversing is a nightmare and also anything that lights up like head unit reflects off the sides Confused

agreed i have 35% (illegal.. just)

anyway ive never had any trouble with the police, it looks really black and nice (white car) but you can still see out fine even at night, and it makes the cars behind you's lights not so bright at night so thats also an advantage


if i get tint again on my next car i will DEFINITELY get 35%

I've got roughly 25-30 on the sides and 20 on the rear.
I like the rear being darker.
I have no idea what is going to happen when I take my car over the pits for rego after engineering.
But I've never been hassled up to now.

I'm not sure of the %ages but we've always gotten illegal tints on the side windows and ambulance style on the back window. looks good. never had a problem with police or rego even tho i'm sure it was illegal.

15% tints on my car (for sale lol)

http://ribfeast.no-ip.com/mx6tinted.jpg

They are great during the day and help take the bite out of the sun, but forget reversing and parallel parking at night. Good for blocking out idiots with high beams on that are following you though. Hides all your expensive things in the car reasonably well, esp at night.

When I get the Cressida I will probably go 20% or 35% though.

I don't know what my tinting was on the honda coz a friend of a friend did it but man it kept my car way cooler. You have to have the same % tinting all the way around though.

This is my car with 25% on the sides and 20% on the rear on a very sunny day and the sunroof open.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/Yian/DSC00561.jpg

I reckon any darker than that and driving at night would be a hassle. I struggle to park at night coz I can't see shit. Confused

EDIT: The windows were open too. The joys of not having A/C on a 30+ degree day.
