[gtsttrk]

Hey guys was wondering if anyone could recommend any good tinters around melbourne who offer both angood service, and a good price on a full tint. I'm after 5% if that helps.

Cheers mate, what parentage did you do? And was it a full car that you got done? Also roughly what was the coat? Do you have any pics of the work?

Sorry about all the q's just trying to be thorough haha

Yer im actually after someone also to get some dark tint done, unsure what percent it would be but barely visible from the outside

Yeah that's the only thing that's put some doubt in my mind lol. Maybe 5% at the back and 15% at the front? Though that'd probably still be bloody hard lol. My mate has 5% on his XR6T ute, says he has to put the window down to reverse down side streets at night...sucks when it's rainin I guess lol

But its good wen idiots in 4x4s have there lights on blinding you or if idiots high beam you..i had really dark tint in my last car, loved it. At the start it was hard to see thru but you get used to it

yeh its a pain, especially in cars with heavily slanted rear windshields..

Yeh I eventually got used to it too.. just dont think i'de do it again.. im up for a tint too!

Car'x in clayton said theyd do cheap with lifetime(I THINK) so yeh might give them a call.

Just something to be aware of - cannot confirm this but have heard multiple times from people, if its not road legal tint and you have an accident the insurance company will blame the fact you could not see out properly so you wont be covered.

Hey mate have those people had experience with those problems or is it just hear-say? Didn't think of that so im keen to look further into it!

[Sunkist]

its happened to a mate of mine.. the police now have some device they check the tint of your windows with now as well.

on the other hand a lot of people get away with it..

i wouldnt again..

No there are legitimate cases, just I cannot confirm if there were other factors involved to make the insurance companies deny the claim, ie if it was night/day so visibility was already reduced etc.

also heard Rob is the man to go to if you want the best job/product.

Reminds me to book a time with him... i'd get in before the weather gets too warm as he can get very busy

33R wing ftw! altered the angle of the wing blade to block out 4x4 lights

Ummm I just went what ever legal is. It was the full car but I don't really have any pics showing it off very well (if you want ill take some) I have the following:

Also some pics here:

But not up close with windows etc. Price was around $380 I think (2+ years ago)? If you give him a call on 0417755537 he should be able to give you a quote over the phone. Might be bit more expensive than others but I will be going back there if I was to get another car.

Brett does a top job. tint looked like the day he applied it for almost 5 years. only damage was caused by my ex gf's bag buckle . have been pulled over by pettet, he checked only the door windows. lucky i had 35% on those. had 20% on the qtrs and rear.
