[Corey_R]

You should find out.... that's the only way you know whether you're getting something good, or something TOO good to be true

[mr fox]

Shall do...What is good film and what is crap?

Solarguard?

This is a bit premature, because there's still another 5 months before my R supposedly will arrive. I want to tint the front too and I have two options:
Option 1: Just tint the front - but how easy is it to match the level of tinting?
Option 2: Tint all windows to another level of tint. Do they have to peel the original tint off and then reapply the new tint?

Which option is better?

Hi m_f. You'd be best to look at the thread on that specific topic: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f112...ion-32781.html

you can't peel the factory tint off. It is in the glass.

Which is all covered in the link on the topic...

Hey guys, I'd just like to give yet another resounding THUMBS UP to Rob at Hunters Hill Windows Tinting Service.

He tinted my R this morning (details here) and I was thoroughly happy with the job. Took ~2 hours to do all the windows. Talking to him (and observing) whilst he performed the work showed that he obviously takes a lot of pride in the little details, and he was very careful and gentle with my new pride and joy (including being careful getting in and out of the leather seats and in and out of the back, since I have a 3 door!).

I used him on the several recommendations from other people in this thread, and so I didn't even ask him what he charged! But let me tell you, when it was time to hand over some money at the end of the job, I was very pleasantly surprised at the cost.

Mr.fox which ARMA store did you get the quote from?

[SuperHans]

any recommendations for darkest legal tinters in brisbane?

[Corey_R]

Shouldn't you ask something more like any recommendations on the best workmanship, or the best price, or who installs a particular brand?

ALL tint shops can and will supply tint well beyond the darkest legal! Darkest legal is 35%. Most stock even 4% tints!
The reason is that it's perfectly legal on rear and rear side windows for commercial vehicles, for sunroofs, for the top 10% of your front windscreen, and of course, for home and office windows...

I have a high urge/itch to get my MK6 GTI tinted. So far what I heard Tint-a-Car is overpriced and I would like to try other than Tint-Professor.

Can anyone suggest a best place around Melbourne?
