Nice! What percentage is that as a matter of interest?

I'm not sure what to go for on my Tig. Because it's black, I'm not sure what the tinting will do for the overall look of the vehicle, and whether I should go for a lighter or max legal tint.

Rob uses Solar Gard HP Supreme or Quantum and I'm not sure which to go for out of those 2 either. And hints/tips/suggestions would be welcome.

definately don't go any lighter than max legal - not worth it.

hopefully, I haven't got the names mixed up, but Supreme has a metalic sheen, which wasn't to my liking.


This is 25% Supreme - notice the metalic sheen - works with a silver car.


Quantum is a "flat" tint which i knew would look good on a red car.


/searches.. sorry, can't find a readily available photo of the Skoda with 205 Quantum. Will have a look tonight.

Found it. That's 20% Quantum IIRC

They are a 35% 3m film. I had it done at universal tint.
I had tints on a black xtrail and it made the car look great. IMO I'd go for just a black tint and avoid the metalic ones.

I wouldnt risk going any darker than legal. It can make seeing out at night difficult when parking/reversing in dark environments, and besides....

don't want to go attracting attention.

Well, Rob came and did my tint on Saturday (nice and early in the morning). I watched him do it and was very impressed. He was very friendsly and helpful, and I would definitely use him again.

I ended up going with the non-metalic sheen in the end. As Rob said to me, if I had more chrome, or intended to add any chrome, then the metalic sheen would be nice. But the Quantum with the flat black look is great. I went for darkest legal, but can see what people mean when they say it isn't that dark. My light interior doesn't help much either.

Sorry I don't have pics, but it was 7:30am on Sat when Rob arrived and the poor weather meant the light was bad anyway, so it was too dark to take decent pics. I tried, but they are useless.

i have just booked Rob to tint my Tig, he told me that the price will range from $240 - $270 depending on what tint is used.

So far everyone on the forum has said nothing but good things about his work.

Mattyb:

I'm thinking to have the luggage box as the one you have. Where did you purchase them from and how much was it.

With the roof rack, which one did you get? and What model is the luggage box. Do you have a sunroof?

Robert from Hunters Hill Window Tinting did my Tiguan about 5 months ago. He did a great job and I would definitely recommend him.
