T5 window Tints?

[Deeceer]

I've just had my '98 tinted - like yesterday. I'll try to post some pics this weekend. The price was $295 for all four windows (driver, passenger and sliding door, and back window). The legal requirement in Qld is a minimum 35% natural light transmission on the driver and passenger windows and as dark as you want behind that, including the back window.

I had a vehicle before that I got tinted and went legal all round and was rather disappointed with the appearance. It looked insipid so I decided to go one step darker than legal with the van, including on the driver and passenger windows. We'll see if it attracts the heat (sorry about the pun) but with the number of bean-can-exhausted, dropped-on-their-guts, tinted-mafia-black Skylines and Sylvias getting around here on the Gold Coast, I'm thinking the cops aren't going to be too bothered by a Plain Jane white van.

It looks great from the outside. I've only driven the van once since - that was home from the tint shop; it felt a little strange and yes the tint did seem dark but that was cos it was plain before and I think it can be got used to. If not, I'll just have the driver and passenger windows redone, it's as simple as that.

had the beach tinted first up before delivery, the rear windows were tinted at factory so they ended up extra dark, which we like, the driver and passenger sides were done legal, the darker windows are fine at night, i still get good vision.
during the day they give an extra bonus that it is quite hard to see what is inside the car.

All done! Cant really tell how well they work as its been overcast since I brought it home. Hopefully clear up this arvo and I will get some pics in the sunshine.

Sorry for no photo's, had a few issues with them that I'm not happy about. Taking it back next wednesday, hopefully all will be resolved then.

i got 5% on the rear and sides and 25%(darkest legal) for driver/passenger on my crewvan. Looks hot. Still good and practical at night. This was the second time i had it tinted as i was not happy with tint a car also. I went to a little independant guy for the second time and i couldn't be happier with the result and the price. Do i see a pattern emerging with tint a car????
