I'm with these guys

im not sure what % mine was. was darker than standard i think. wouldnt go much darker as it makes it annoying to reverse at night time.

i just picked up my 05 XR6 and wanna get good looking tints for it, and to keep the UV off my kids.I had an old crumpledoor wagon which had 5% on it. that was awesome during the day, but too dark at night, 35% is the legal tint but i think thats not dark enough. some1 told me 15% is good. does that sound right?

cheers in advance






FYI ill post pics of my old EB and new XR6 soon

What % is factory tint? I'm guessing mine is factory. Its starting to bubble on the back window, so i think i want to get it re done, but go a touch darker..

Pardon my ignorance but do they actually do window tinting at the factory? I thought it would be arranged by the dealer at a local Tint a Car or similar. They typically do the darkest legal, be it 35% or whatever.

Of course the legal VLT varies from state to state.

common is 35% side windows and 20% on back window...

Darkest legal is not dark enough. I have 25% on the falcon i think.

I have darkest legal on my EL (35%) and its perfect. Not too bad @ night and does the job during the day.

Yeah i was told the car yard actually organises it. I always thought the factory did it until i said "remove factory tint" to my local tint a car and they told me its outsourced by car yards

I have 13% on my EL ghia and i reversed into a tree the other night.

my brother in law has his done but they look like they nearly arent done. my father just bought a brand new clubsport, he got the car yard to organise/do the tints for him and the back window seems to be darker than the rest, any idea wat %'s would b used? really wanna get mine done. and want em dark enough so people cant see in, but with good visibility at night aswell, so im kinda stuck at the moment as to which would b best to go

I've got 10% and it sucks at night time.

Just get legal which is 35%.

anyone got pictures of a BA/BF sedan with 35%? trying to get an idea of what it looks like before i go ahead with it :s

35 on sides and 20% on rear window

Mint^ <3 XTT-747.

Factory darker tint +1

id go 20% i have that on my cars and have had on most of my cars and wouldnt change it.
to me 35% isnt dark enough but anything under 20 is too much.
oh and yeah all tint unless it is tinted glass is outsourced from the dealer.
cheers josh.

my dads ute has 35% which i dont thinks dark enough. no idea what my car has but id say 25% because its alot darker than my dads but i can still see fine at night.

to make it legal. but also dark enough to keep the kids safe and look good im going with 35% on the front doors, 20% on the rest. getting it done on tuesday next week.will post pics up when its done
