Diva's i30 *tinted windows*

Diva · **January 19, 2009, 06:35:21**

I went dark enough ... but could of went one darker. The guy freaked me out a little so i went for the safer choice, of 20% in straight black. Not what they classed as Bronze Black. I went to Wetherill Park, good job and happy with it. As long as i dont put the windows down

How much did it cost? Cuz I want to tint them to

Diva · **Reply #8: January 20, 2009, 09:40:51**

Thanks all

I got it done at Solartint - Wetherill Park. It cost $280.

Made a huge difference driving home this afternoon in the 34 C heat. No more burning back/arms from the leather

blawler · **Reply #9: January 20, 2009, 10:34:54**

Wow. That is an amazing price as well. I might just have to pop down there and have a chat with them. Next time i am out at my client

Cazza · **Reply #10: January 22, 2009, 12:49:05**

That;s really dark! Is it legal?

Diva · **Reply #11: February 02, 2009, 08:37:59**

umm.... *looks around room*

Nope

Duckman · **Reply #12: February 02, 2009, 19:22:45**

Didn't think it was legal. The dealer tinted mine for free, and it's not that dark.

I got the darkest legal tint on my Getz a few years back, and I could barely see into it at night, and it looks you can barely see into it during the day!

In Australia i think is a "must have" tinted windows because of the sun.. but why is illegal i dont understand.. In my country we can't have front windows not even 1%. But rear it can be 100%

Stupid.. I prefer all the same

in 2007 it was legal but only 10%. And rear 55%. Now it's 0% and 100%. Really stupid if you ask me

did they give a reason for changing it?

MyChemR · **Reply #18: March 02, 2009, 20:56:34**

European standards offically

and because the police couldn't see the driver.. Like you see it in sport cars with smaller front windows and rear 100% tinted.

So its a European union thing? I think it's OK to tint your front windows in UK.

MyChemR · **Reply #20: March 02, 2009, 21:08:04**

Yes. But i think those who changed that never had tinted windows and they don't know much about it.

It's just another thing on the list that was changed to "better". Yeah, everybody is happy now...................NOT (only those that never had tinted windows)

so, another reason to tell my Icelandic friends why not to join the EU

MyChemR · **Reply #22: March 02, 2009, 21:18:41**

I guess.

But the only good thing is easier and cheaper export/import of old/used cars. Think about it with your friends

Diva sorry for the offtopic!

Diva · **Reply #23: March 06, 2009, 22:01:29**

we can't tint front window's also.... thats where i want it tinted as the sun will ruin the dash and leather :/ BUT you can also understand why

If I understand right Diva is talking about the windscreen and our European friends are talking about the driver and passenger front windows...?

It is only the windscreen you can't tint in most states of Aus...

MyChemR · **Reply #27: March 07, 2009, 11:46:15**

yes we are talking about the driver and passenger front windows

Hi Diva,

What's the warranty on the tinting?

Diva · **Reply #29: March 11, 2009, 23:53:43**

Sorry bout that... i guess i had a bimbo moment... had no idea it was about the front window this is why i shouldn't be on a car forum!!! I think i will just be quiet for a while.

Tinting has a lifetime warranty.
