Martin@GroundZero Tinting at blacktown can hook u up with tint for under $200.

Quite popular amongst car forums.

u can also try Rob @ Hunters Hill Window Tinting.

another well known tinter amongst the modded car scene.

you need to book well in advance.

pricing...bit dearer than GroundZero.

cost me $225 for my MPS.

All good, getting one in today, we'll see how it goes!

wheeler33 · 08-07-2010, 07:42 PM

All tinted

I'll take a photo in the day but was a bit too excited to wait. I'll inspect tomorrow and let you guys know

What % did you end up getting?

wheeler33 · 08-07-2010, 07:53 PM

ended up getting 30%, thought that it should do fine, not too dark, not too light. i woulda gone like 20% if there were no regulations. But meh. I'll see the true results in the morning under the sun.

bringing another thread up from the dead.

went to tint-a-car in milton as i was driving past today to enquire about tinting. I had 35% done and its barely dark, So i asked him what others they do, basically he said $400 for 20%, tint removed and a touring strip in 5% at the top of the windscreen. thoughts? its a no-named brand, but comes with their lifetime no crack/bubbling/fading/peling etc warranty

ouch! maybe call around a little more, im in sydney and most of the ppl i called quoted me 300 for removal and tinting. Maybe try some mobile tinters?

See if you can see it in person before you get it, my friend got cheap 20% in his falcon and well... he winds his windows down when he drives at night.

I got the best 35% one available, it doesn't look as dark as other 35% ones, but has a slight silver sheen to it (none of that mirror crap) so you can't see in the car very well and it keeps out a lot of heat. If only I could get it on the windscreen....
Although if you can't get mates rates I think it's worth $400 without removal of old tint, so a bit pricey...

i already have 35% in 3m octane, most expensive and best metallic film on the HT.

DavoAust · 13-10-2011, 07:41 PM

Im trying to track down something between 35% and 25% that I like for the 3000. Daniel, what's the name of the stuff you got? Maybe they've got somethig a little darker

mynameisdaniel · 13-10-2011, 08:51 PM

Found this page on the one I have. The same company has a bit of a range, plus the Eclipse tint that I have comes in different light levels, mine is 35%
