Hi,
any favourite places out there to get windscreens fitted? Actually, I need the whole car done ... front rear sides and rear quarter glass, on my RA23.
Also, whats the go with tinting up here in QLD? can i get 35% or something? Where can I go and ask : "whats your price for top quality tinting as dark as possible while still remaining within qld standards"
Ringing windscreens obrien and novus now ... any idea how much i should be quoted to replace all of the glass? supplied and fitted? with rubbers? anyone done this?
(I probably dont need to replace it all, but we'll see how it goes ...)

I think windscreens obrien would be the best! They may be a bit more expensive but they do a great job! The rubbers they use are the exact right size! Most other places use rubbers they got from rare spares which are crap!

I found windscreens obrien to be good. For tinting try Cost less tinting. They are a mobile mob here in brissie, they come right to your house. They quoted me $160 for the RA40 for darkest legal. (10 years warranty too - lifetime warranty for $10 more) They did my boyfs car last week and it looks preety good. I'll try and find the phone no. for you if you want it.

thanx guys
Windscreens Obrien didnt get back to me >:/
Novus Quoted:
Front Fitted: $198 Rear Fitted (2nd Hand): $156
and the rubbers were $99 front, $135 rear.
Full tint they wanted $260 ... dark as legal, 10yr guarantee
what I didnt ask them, was what if they tint while the glass is out of the car (gotta be easier - hence cheaper) as all the glass is out atm, and, if the fitted price includes removal of the old glass.
Getting the rear out was easy, but the front windscreen, being laminated and all ... crikeys it was easy to break. Me using the hammer and chisel method and all.
Im not ready to get this all done yet tho, just wanted an idea before I trashed the old glass.

Were the front fitted and rear fitted prices including the rubbers? Did you check the price for a new rear window? The price for the second hand one seem a bit pricy!

No, i dont think that price incluided the rubbers ... darn
umm, novus said they couldnt get new rear windscreens any more
I also forgot to mention that I asked about door/side windows too (just in the case of me putting my head thru one) but they didnt get back to me on those I wanted to know if they were hard to get ...

tinting windows is normally done witht he windows in the car. they just do a real schmic job and get the edge of the tint very close to the edge of the glass. i think my mum got her car tinted with a lifetiem warranty and darkest legal tint for $198 from tint mart.
