tinting on the Z
 

hey all, just wondering for us Aussies anyone tinted their Z yet? if so how dark % etc

and anyone ever had trouble with the law regarding lower then allowed tint %?

I had 20% on my xr6 Turbo. I had no troubles and want to do the same with the Z or at minimum do the rear in 20. Only concern is making the visibiliy worse off than it is.

i have 15 on the back winfow and i dont feel that it hurt vis at all...

And what about the side windows? Can you see items in the back cargo area from the outside?

side quarters are 15 and door windows are 25...

on a sunny day you cant see in to the cargo area...

i was thinking of 5% all round, not the front window of course, but woult that be way too dark? anyone have this all round before?

Im actually getting mine done tomorrow at Tint a car. Rear screen non-metalic because of antenna, side quarters blacked out and doors legal limit metalic formula one.

I'll post pics tomorrow night.

I think 5% is illegal so I wouldn't do it for insurance headaches if you were ever in an accident. The windscreen is illegal to do any tinting.

I had mine done before I picked it up, 15% all the way round

For those that have had this done. What should I be expecting to pay for tinting?

No tint yet, but because I'm in cali I'm going with a conservative 35% on the sides and 30% rear quarters and rear hatch. ceramic, non metallic, huper optik film.

$200 - $300 is pretty standard.

check your local tint shops for a ballpark price I highly recommend ceramic tint non metallic if you have sat radio or nav there's no interference best tint money can buy. huper optik film is what I have used and it's very good tint.

have you got pics mate? post em up:tiphat:

From what I can find and what I was told, 35% is the limit.

Window tint laws are opaque - www.drive.com.au

window tinting - RACV

$250 - $350 is the normal, but remember, not all tints are the same and you get what you pay for. So ask questions and ring around a few places first.

Sorry, I need to take some photos but the weather in Melbourne has been pretty bad, well the days I'm not working anyway.

I got my tints done today. Looks so much better.

Looks good. What level of tint did you get?

is that about 35% looks good mate, what type of film did they use?

35% on the sides in Formula 1. The corners blacked out and the rear hatch with 20% (non metalic)

thanks mate

Congrats on your first mod! :)

Thanks GTRFAN.

Thanks haha. Whats the next mod for you?

anyone know of something in between 5 and 20% as i cant find anything (as 5% is alittle dark imo and 20% is still alittle light)

cheers guys
