  • Tig wolfsburgh tint levels

    Does anyone know the level of tint the wolfsburgh has on the back windows? I organised fronts tinted with the dealer and want to ensure it is done to the same spec/level.

    Hello,

    Just had my front windows tinted today and the shop used 25%. It seems to match perfectly. However I’m in New Jersey USA. Not sure if it’s different in Australia.

      Depending on your states legal tint limit will determine how dark you can go.

      In Qld the darkest is 20% in rear windows with 35% the darkest up front. (I think this might be the same in other states but not sure)

      Most tint shops can tint to 20% all around however it can impact insurance etc as it's an illegal modification.

      Chances of this happening may be low but I've tinted mine at 35/20 and looks fine

        I just has my Wolf fronts done using the Tint-A-Car Spectra (ceramic) film to stay legal. It matches well colour wise but isn't as dark. Any darker and you could have legal issues as above. From sharp angles it looks the same but straight on and looking through the to the other side it is definitely lighter. Still looks much better than stock. Also understand that use of metallic based films could impact comms such as bluetooth. Hope this helps.

            Would any of you mind throwing up a side pic of the tints if possible? Especially if you have a orxyc white tig!

                  Appreciate the photos looks awesome. Organised it as an extra through the dealer to tint so hopefully is not too bad.

                      Haha well once i settled on a price i was happy with i requested them throw in front window tints, weather shields, side and boot sills, the hard tray in the boot, extra set of rubber mats so much of a muchness. They confirmed they will tint as close as they can.

                        Quick question on the segmented portion of the front windows next to the side mirror. Is there any reason they cannot be tinted? Dealer stating it is possible that section of the front window cannot be. Something to do with a sensor?

                          It's possible, just a pain to get to and do properly. Often will just be left not done to save any complaints.

                            Had my micro front quarters done by Tint-A-Car with the main fronts - job done well and no interference with anything but mine is a ceramic ( not metallic) tint. They didn't baulk at it and didn't even add to the price when I mentioned I would like them done as part of the deal. So unless that is the difference is metallic film causing "interference I couldn't say. However the micro quarters are pretty much obscured from view by the mirrors. Not sure it is an issue for a good installer.

                              Thanks guys. Seem the dealer said something about an airbag sensor or something along thise lines. Disnt sound plausible but thought i would check with people here on that and if it is legal to have that part done?
