got a few questions in relation to getting windows tinted... got my windows tinted to the darkest legal tint on my VT but still wasent dark enough for my liking.. i want to go the darkest tint possible so you cannot see into the car at all..maybe something like limo tint...do many places want to do that sort of work or is it frowned upon because its past the legal tint..? any one been ****ed for thier tint...? or any other suggestions to what sort of tint would be dark but still practical?

limo tint is 5%. many places will do it but they wont give u any receipts or the like as it is illegal so you wont get warranty from it.

ah okaii...also if P plates cant be seen because of the darknest of the tint is it the same penalties as not having them up? just weighing up if its worth going as dark as i want and if the boys in blue are gonna pick up on it.

id say go down to about 20percent. as its dark but not ridiculously. ive only got 35 on mine which is the darkest here. its not that dark during the day but at nights its good. i would assume it would be the same as not showing plates just liek if u have ur rego sticker on tinted glass its illegal

in nsw cars made before 1994 can have tint as dark as tinted, cars made after 1994 must be 35% or higher cars made before 1994, but tinted after 1994 can't legally have tint lower then 35% either. all you say is, the tint has been on there since pre 94, who is to know any different. other states may be different. the rules mainly have to do with cops being able to see if someone is going to pull a gun/knife and how many occupants are in the vehicle etc

ambo tint sounds the go, cos its virtually impossible to see into it during the day. i was quoted $460 for it so it sounds reasonable i guess. also this is for rb30-power my car is a vl so it was obviously pre 94' so if i get pulled up for the ambo tint i can say it was put on before 94' and then everything will be sweet?
