i got motor1 i think
25% front and 35% back i'll take a photo when it;s bright again with my ghetto phone camera

Why would you have the darker (illegal) tint on the front windows, and the lighter (legal) tint on the rear windows? Did you mean the other way around? That would be how most people would have it when getting two different VLT % tints.

Looks great and would be totally illegal in Qld.

Got my white 103TDI tinted at Reflect Effect (*LINK*) earlier in the week, very happy with the job. I went with a new Johnstone 20% film all round this time, this is my new favourite film. It's a great shade. Will take pics soon.

I'm not sure they will appreciate you advertising that they are willing to fit illegal and dangerous tint to vehicles.

It's not illegal for them to do the tinting at all, what I choose to run on the street on my car is my problem. Dangerous? Get off your high horse clown. It's only a smidge darker to look out of than the 35% film and I've had no issues with vision even at night in the rain. Not saying anyone else has to take the same path, but I am very happy with this particular film hence sharing.

Do they do those colored tints you now see? I wouldn't mind getting my with a tinge of blue like this:

It's illegal for them to do the tinting. Your comment that "what you run on the street on your car is your problem" shows that you don't give a damn about other road users.

The difference between 35% and 20% is dramatic, I've posted the facts here - http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f112...tml#post498072 - the fact is that having dark tint is stupid for the reasons given. You can claim all you like that your vision is not affected and the difference between 35% and 20% is nothing but scientific tests have proven that your vision is affected in a big way.

Coloured tints and reflective (mirror) tints are also illegal in Australia...

I thought there were people that work for insurance companies on here that say a claim won't get denied due to tints being too dark etc.

No point getting too dark anyway as you can't see out at night, better off going for something a bit reflective (read not mirror) which reflects heat and light better anyway.

The PDS says you can be denied if the car is unroadworthy and/or you contributed to the accident and so on. The PDS is what matters as it spells out your obligations in black and white and window tint is not something you can easily cover up after an accident.

If police decide your illegal tint contributed to an accident you can be charged and if someone is hurt or killed you could end up doing time.

It has nothing to do with political correctness but everything to do with common sense and consideration for others (drivers, cyclists and pedestrians) which is clearly lacking from many people. Personally I don't give a stuff if people want to use a 5% tint and kill themselves but the risk is that they won't see a pedestrian or cyclist and end up running them over because their windows are so dark.

Of course if you're the type of person that thinks driving around with dark sunglasses on at night is safe of course you'd disagree.

Should be ok as long as you don't go too dark like on old silvias.. Doubt you'd get in trouble for 20-25%.
