yeah darkest legal... meh i still like it

thats what i thought, and thats why i'm getting my "legal" tint changed to 20% or so as i'm pretty disapointed with my current light tint :)

BTW: i actually got my first tint done when SAU had a group discount going 2 years ago :(

yeah, and they charge about $60 for removal of old tints - apparently its not just a case of peeling of the old ones :)

also people should know that 20% tint is $30 more.

Its still cheap compared with normal prices but i've decided to keep my old tint as i'm short on cash :)

Just so people know as I do not see it on this thread, 4 door cars do cost more.

Apparently for 4 door cars a price of $195 was agreed

Still cheap but posting so others know.

When i booked my cefiro in i said it was a 4 door, and the price was still $145 ????

No worries alan, your car looks great...

hmmm I've organised this group tint but my cars taking so long at the painters that I'm still a few weeks off getting it tinted, let alone registered arrghhh...

Cheers mate, was very impressed myself with the results also.

I am sure they would hold the offer for you as the organiser given the circumstances with your car being built.

How do I put a thumbnail image up like that as I tried to work that out earlier viewing the code. I made sense of it but is there a quicker way?

I know nothing about tinting, so here's a couple of questions:

What is the % of tinting of exactly? Is it what you can see from the inside of the car (when standing outside)... Does this mean that the lower the % the darker the tint?

I assume that there is a 'darkest legal tint' because people (police) might like to see inside the car... or is it that the darker the tint (from the outside) the harder it is to see out of the car from the inside?

cheers guys

:D

The % that is referred to is the amount of light let in i.e 35% So if the % is less, the tint is darker as it lets less light in. I have 20% on my back window.

I believe the darkest legal tint refers is so that visability out of the car is still good rather than looking into the car. With my tint, it is quite black from the outside, looking in but looking out when driving, there is barely a difference IMO.

When I got to the tint place, the guy already had a package he suggested which was the 35% windows and 20% rear which I think is being offered to all people. The 20% rear normally costs a bit more but they are doing it inclusive from what he said to me.

HTH and if anyone disagrees, please correct me

    • 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.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
