Has anyone got their drivers & passangers front windows tinted to match the back? if so, how much did it cost? what grade tint and how does it look?

My understanding is that it is illegal to do that (at least in Vic).

Also in NSW. Well I think you can tint the front windows, but not as dark

cant drop the front window below 75%

side windows are allowed to be 35% transmittance

our side windows are 25%, but thats not illegal because it was ADR'ed like that/factory.

G'day, The day we picked our stagea up from the gold coast we had the front door windows tinted at Tint.a.car, Wurtulla, on sunshine coast. We had them use 'Formula 1', the best UV but second darkest tint. I believe the next darker tint was still legal.

Terminal, i knows, but its not smoked, its "UV cut glass"

Could be the same thing though hehe smile.gif

Thats what i ment by, it came like that factory

I personally like the untinted front windows, make the car look PIMP/VIP, the way i like it


After having my celsior with a blacked out rear window, i will never have a car with illegal tinted rear/front windscreens!

35% is legal on front door windows. And ofcoarse it is illegal to tint the front windscreen.

On my old Stagea I tinted my front door windows to 20% (illegal, but seriously, what kinda cop is gonna do you for that) (besides apparently with their light tester thingy it comes up as 27% or something anyway, so you can just say it must've had a slight standard tint when you got them done to 35% tongue.gif)

Anyhow, I got my old Stag's fronts done to 20% to match the rears and it matched perfectly, never had any trouble with the law and it cost me $100 at Mastertint (perfect job). Its generally $100 plus or minus a bit depending on the company.

Tinted:
