Just a tip: even though illegal tint looks cool it is illegal for a reason.

I got graphite 35 which is prety light considering some of the tints out there but u can see through it clearly at night. Guy on sheilds crs in Myaree did mine and it not a bad job and comes with lifetime guarntee. Cost me 220 all up.

I think F1 is the darkest legal available and u can only get that from solace:)

Use DMS Energy on Hutton St is Ossy Park -they are the only authorised 3M automative film fitters in WA apparently and they do an excellent job.

They have a new film called carbon black that look INSANELY dark on the outside, but is still legal and clarity is excellent from the inside.

If you are with the RAC mention it, you get a discount.

i have f1 tint from solace on my mr2 (as seen in the avatar),

it's pretty dark but still good at night. Highly recommend it!

there was a story about a guy in Adelaide who had illegal tint, it was dark and he didn't see a cyclist, cleaned him up and ended up having to foot ALL the compensation bill because of the illegal tint voiding his 3rd party. :eek:

don't know how true it is but i have a major gripe against dark tint anyway, you can't see much at all through the car at intersections when you need to see on comming traffic etc. :cool:

i think i will be going legal, to each their own but for me i think being able to see what is happening around me at night is very important, especially when you do country driving and there are no road lights to help you see whats at 90 degrees. Also having my insurance voided in a crash would be very nasty, cheers for all the replys

yeah mine isnt that dark so i dun think i would get into trouble...i drive with the windows down anyways...

my main concern however is that people might break into the car thinking that there is stuff to steal but in the end all i have is a factory head unit.

what sux is that if those kind of people will just smash your window whether there is something inside or for the off chance of 20cents being left in the ash tray, even if they could see in and see nothing they would probably run a screw driver down the side of your car anyway...their scum...................i hate them all:mad:

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
