Is It Really All About Who You Know?

[TUFF_350]

In the market for some tint & stockish tyres for the beast,

as usual do the search on the forum & go from there. Im liking Hankook 105s so give good ol recommended Tyre Power a buzz, $190 per corner but since your on SAU $165. Nice i thought but i'll give my local Bridgestone a buzz cos its 5mins from work & can't really be bothered with town today. Nice & helpful guys answers, sorry no discounts but my price is $145 per corner. This point i was

Next to the tint, called Scorpion etc and was given the price of $250 which sounded good. Meh try my luck, called Mobiletek (also 5mins from work) & second thing i was asked was have i been quoted yet. Yes i say, $200 from tint-a-car BOOM price matched.

So is it really all about "who you know?"

I thought that was just for the group buy?

[Madaz]

group buy was actually $165 not sure what he is quoting nowadays so dont try and hold him to $180 either be warned

but Ric will certainly look after you just ask Blue32

$165! Yipes he mustv made close to nothing on that, anyone interested in group buy?

[Madaz]

any further group buys would not hit that price again

and it was no small task getting 20 people to lay down that much money

Can anyone post a pic of there silver skyline with 30% tint all round? Im aware of the legalities which is why i don't want to go as low as 20%, will attract too much attention.

[TUFF_350]

Anyone? Wuldb really appreciated cos i have to decide by the end of the week, thankyou.

[Madaz]

Again SAU holding the hands of young men since 1999

did you give Ric at autoperfection a call?

30% at the front mate is too dark and so still illegal if at the back as well

the legal tint opacity is

front windows = 70% opacity

rear windows = 35% opacity

No tinting on the front or rear wind shield

i think i measured my front windows after taking the tint out and it came to 72% opacity

so your tinting cant be any more darker

[TUFF_350]

No just going to mobiletek,

main north road is bit of a pain for me to get back to work. Thanks Krishy, yep i read up on all those percentages earlier & even so im going to go 35% all round & be confident to still pass as a "sleeper"

[Krishy]

umm the boys at regency are very picky and the cops that defect you dont even have to measure the opacity

so you going 35% at the front will be heaps dark

when i got my tinting checked i had 19% opacity at the front

it was a pain to drive in the dark in rain thats for sure

had to drive with the windows down to see whats next to me

[TUFF_350]

Im getting confused maybe...

I had 20% all round for my Honda Accord, that was extreme black but i could still see visibly be it rain or shine. It was Sungard like im going to get now, so im assuming going 35% all round on the liner would be a huge difference.

[SLED]

also note that some manufacturers quote a % of light that passes thru whilst others quote a % of light that's restricted........alot of people get confused this way when it comes to selection

Just get it tested by one of those test meters

they stick it on your window and within 5 seconds it will tell you the opacity of your tint

i also had sunguard mate but mine was black as me lol
