Hi all,
I have been thinking of getting new window tint on my silver 6mps because I don’t feel the stuff that’s already on there is dark enough (I think the previous owner had it put on from the dealer so who knows what quality and darkness % it is!). It also annoys me when I see commodores etc with such dark tint that you can't see anyone inside (including front windshield!!!). I am after something dark enough to make it slightly difficult to see the occupants, not impossible.
For those in SA I am thinking of going through D & S Auto (link is D & S Auto - Adelaide Car Window Tint) and have got a quote of $290 including removal of the old stuff. The tint is carbon and I can get it in 35% and 18% for the same price (I was looking to go 20% which I have heard is not so dark that you can’t see through it at night etc but am happy to try 18%).
Does anyone have carbon tint and had any problems with it? With the 6 having the aerial in the rear window I don’t think metallic is an option but would like to hear opinions on metallic also.
Has anyone gone to 18% tint and had any problems (eg vision, defects etc)? The lowest legal in SA is 35% but I’m hoping with a silver car it might make 18% appear less dark and not attract the cops lol. Is there much of a difference between 20% and 18%?
Any other thoughts/opinions are very welcome.
Cheers
