| I had 35% on my XH and always thought it could be a touch darker. I've now got 20% on my EL and love it. Looks nice and dark and its not a nuisance at night. |

I once drove a Skyline that had 5% limo tint. Scare dhte s**t outta me cuz I coudnt not see out the damn thing.
I got 20% on my EF and I think its perfect. Keeps the people from looking but most importantly it stops the heat from coming in.
I paid 210 on the Gold Coast to do so. |

the latest craze is coloured reflective tint. You can get all colours and looks awsome. Also tinti graffics, using different coloured tints to create a design on ya window, I have found this to be very big on the Gold Coast.
Reflective tine is expensive, about $700 a car, and as for the legalities, well i dare say it would be illegal......can't see in. |

| dont know if they still do it over east, but I went for the first grade of illegal tint - I know some of the private tinting places around Sydney used to do it. Nice and dark and looks a treat, way darker than any legal tint I was looking at. |

yeah I beleive 33% is legal any thing less than that is suppose to be illegal. Depends on where ya live on how Cops regulate it . They can if they pull you over and are feeling like being a C*** demand you take it off before you can drive off. But I reckon 20% should see you through without any Cop problems. That said It might looker darker on a white car as a opposed to on a darker coloured car. Up to you in the end  |

Yeh the tint place i'm gonna get my tint done has 5% tint available which is fully dark. I've been in a car with 5% and its pretty cool but very scary at nite because 95% of the light is blocked out basically.
Also the 5% tint film is bleach dyed so it'll fade after a couple of years... so i'm opting for the metallised film which is a lil on the reflective side but is also dark. Yup 20% is dark enuff on a white car. |

| i think 5% is fine on side windows... back window should be 20% and obviously its illegal to do front windscreen... though they used to do it! |

| I think 20% all round is the winner. Its sufficiently dark to stop prying eyes, the cops wont hassle you, and you can see out of it safely. |
