hey guys, i had an old bluebird wagon, had 20% on front and rear doors and the cargo was 5%, the first couple of nights were hard to see but, when lookig through tinted windows you have to look through the tint not at it... after a 5 years of driving with it, it was like driving with no tint. all the lights still looked glary, which wasnt the case the first few days hehe...

I just got mine done today at Tint-a-car 35% (Midnight Express) for $250 (since its a coupe), it doesn't look dark at all from the inside, but from the outside, it looks pretty dark, depending on which angle your looking at it.

is he still doing it? :)

I reckon you could easily go wrong with tinting your window if you didn't get the desire dark level , you just wont be happy.

Is it true that in Vic only the driver and passenger windows are the only ones need to be at legal level? can go as dark as i want on the rear and quarter?

I got 15% done on mine and was buy a mobile tinter who came to my house on a sunday to do it... cost $260 for it... Really good guy aswell

that looks awesome!! judging by the phone numbers on the factories there i'd say you aren't in Melbourne? Wish i could find someone here who would do 15% all round for that price!

All cars look good with tint i think. I have a white 32 with rear window and quarters at 5% and the door windows are 15%. Hard as f**k to reverse at night in the dark but usually there are lights so its ok or just stick ya head out the window. I got pulled over one time and cops said i didnt have a rear p on. And i said yes i do. And their are like nah mate you dont so i showed them that i did. Thats gonna be one of the biggest problems with dark tint on the rear but now i just stick the p on the outside of the car. I have never been told by cops that the tint is too dark. None of them have even comented it except the one that couldnt see the p but he said its fine as long as the p is on the outside.

5% is impossible to see through. 15% is pretty bloody hard to see through and thats the way i like it :P

im in the same boat as you, exactly in fact. with the P plate, did they say anything about it last time when you got pulled over?

and were you pulled over because of the tint being too dark?im getting a bit worried here :D , but none the less it looks good specially day time.

that looks good as.

How much did it set you back?

Rear tint came with the car. Believe it or not the p plate is actually on the window in that pic. Top right corner. And if you think its hard to see through the back in the pic its heaps harder now with the fronts done too. Ill try take some pics soon.

L.B. - The cop didnt care bout the tint at all, he just said that i cant have the p behind it (fair enough). supposed to be clearly visible. mine wasnt even slightly visible. I have been defected for everything before: ride height, boost controller, seering wheel, pod, cooler, low tread, and even for my wiring in the engine bay not being tied down every 30cm lol. But no one cares bout the tint.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
