You reckon it was that good Col-GTSX ? Got a pic ?

Yeah im happy with it, i mean it provides a nice look to the car and reduces the heat very well then on the inside on has the slightest tint looking out...

So its sorta the best of both worlds, looks heavy and dark outside and nice and light on the inside...

It covers me needs and im very happy with the tint...

PS> My cameras are at work, but ill get a pic soon...

Col where did you get it done and how much did it cost you? Do you have contact info for "Tint Mart" ??

There is about a dozen tint marts round SEQ and NSW.

www.tintmart.com.au

I went to strathpine as it was closest to me.

Cost was $350, called around and none of them were willing to do it any cheaper as they are the exclusive agents in Australia for this film...

(I actually paid $330 as i had a discount voucher from the last car i had them tint for me)

Darkest legal tint is actually not as dark as you would expect. It's very easy to see through and at night its not *that* difficult to see through but it certainly makes things harder.

My skyline has what I *think* is factory darkened glass (or is it tint), under Victorian laws its ok if its factory (rear windscreen and the quarter panels (I think thats there name, the ones behind the passenger/driver side windows).

Also under Victorian law the tint is supposed to be the same % all round, I had a lot of tinter's tell me otherwise. Vicroads has this info, I assume there is an equivalent in Queensland :)

Good luck.

Im not saying its a good thing or if its a bad thing.

i have not had any issues with tint @ all.

i have 16% light tint on my skyline.... it looks shit hot @ day... at night its difficult to drive thats for sure...

I always have windows open in my car for personal preference.. i like the wind.

I personally have not been pulled over once.. possibly as my windows are always down.. and i have had insurance claims made for my car, in which the windows did not have any effect on my claim.

I can tell you, getting the 16% tint was cheaper for me than getting legal tint.

Also since my car is black, and has very black tint.. it looks shit hot ;)

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
