    I had tint-a-car formula on my old S15 as well - looks great and good quality!

    btw- I really miss my S15 as well. The GTI is a great car but its just not the same. The s15 had much better top end and completely different handling feel

    darker the better!

    I find at least here in SA - if your car look clean and kept ( not to MODS ) the tnt doesnt attract attention!

    You will find that most tints exhibit this, not because the tint is literally adjusting/changing, but because of how dark a tint looks is based on internal vs external light, and its internal VL reflective % and external VL reflective %. "Reflective tints" are not allowed on cars in Australia, however ALL tints have a certain amount of visible light reflection.

    I'm the same. Martin has tinted my car as well as most of my friends and have been very happy with his work too.

    A few people have done 15% all round tints in NSW. Was just wondering if they ran into any problems with the police? The legal limit is 30% i think. Is it to dark?

    Also was wondering if anyone could point me towards a V-cool tint. Want to get the front windshield tinted with the transparent tint.

    The legal limit is 35%. All of my cars have had 35% on all windows, except for the windscreen of course, and I've found it to be fine

    I've been in a few cars with 15% and 20%. Although I don't really have any issue with that on the rear side or rear window, I personally think it's irresponsible on the front driver and passenger windows imo.

    Back in the nineties I had a red Commodore with super dark tints all 'round and, whilst it looked fantastic, at night it was sometimes hard to see out of the side windows. It was actually a bit claustrophobic at times too. Although I never did have a problem from the police though I'm sure they wouldn't like not being able to see into the car.

    Also it's surprising how much eye contact you make with other drivers and the dark tint makes this hard...
