Hi all...
Could someone please post a pic of the darkest legal tint on there car. I went to a few different places today and all there samples looked different and it was hard to tell on a little square piece of plastic. I think its 35% tint. After doing a search i see the ''midnight express'' is a popular choice yet there are no pics. Cheers.

Here you go...not sure what percent, but darkest legal tint done by Ford Dealer as part of the deal....no point going darker, as you will not be able to see out at night, and it is a pain in the ***, not counting the defects and trouble at rego time.....

Was told my xr8 is darkest legal when I bought it. Looks abit darker than my old au ute which I know was darkest legal. But my AU looked way darker than the photo suggests. The xr8 tint is alot more reflective than what the AU was aswell

Heres a couple of night time garage shots with darkest legal (35%). Apologies for poor quality, crappy camera phone.
  Also one of my old corolla, same tint. I wouldn't go any darker

Hahaha no worries man - that's the problem hey, finding something that is both good looking and unique ;) --- Insurance companies refuting claims because of non standard pedals and empty wiper fluid?

My bad! Some lovely examples in this thread. Does anyone know if the silver fading to dark tint is legal? Know what I'm talking about?

I really hate this legal tint rubbish, my territory has darkest legal tint and I think it's too light, my BA has darkest legal tint and it's quite dark so who decides whats legal. Ive seen cars with tint real dark going around seem to have no problems with the police. I have seen the Police chief here in Melbourne turn up to a function in a Statesman with pitch black tint.....how is that safe for motorists...ok safe for her as no one can see her...I purchased the Territory shades for all the rear windows and with the tint you cannot see in the car...it's been 2 years have not been pulled over for this issue yet, I don't think the police really police this at all

If you have an accident and the insurance company believe that the darker than legal tint played a part in obscuring your vision, they won't pay.

They can also reject a claim if there is insufficient tread on your tyres, no fluid in the wiper reservior, non factory steering wheel and/or pedals etc etc. All of which are grounds to refute a claim, regardless of whether you have declared them. Insurance companies have many little legalities they can use to be picky with and get them out of paying a claim but thankfully not many are widely used

Ie. you spin out or rear end someone, then tyres with tread would've probably prevented the crash. This sort of thing is pretty rare. |

Late last year he had a guy who caused a big smash in his Magna. He had full comp, but insurance didn't fix his car because he had aftermarket rims and a tint. I'm not sure of their legality, but his claim was refused because he didn't disclose them. As for getting a tint done. Tint Professor are the shizz. I've had a few friends go through them and no complaints. Plus they offer a lifetime guarantee and will even come to your place to do the tint. Can't go wrong. |

Just put 5% on the rear window of my ute ... being a commerial vehicle ... I can put as dark as I like on the rear window legally.
It's not all the hard to see out of at night either ... had the same on my previous ute as well.

It makes it a lot safer for officers to approach a car when they can see the number of occupants and what they're doing.
