I've got a XR6 in Sensation (Blue Boy to my three year old daughter), I want to get the windows tinted and I work in Dandenong South and live in West Footscray. I know a bloke on Blackrock who can do it, but it's going to be a lot of stuffing around to get it done there.
Any one suggest a place in Dandenong, and what I should be looking for? I would like it to be dark, as it sits outside at work. I would probably drop it off in the morning and pick it up that afternoon. Thanks in advance.

I can tell you who not to use out that way. Tint professor. The sales dude on the phone tried to make me get limo tint even though I wanted to stay legal. Wasn't till I said I'd go elsewhere that he shut up. Then they picked up my car and left the loan car but no keys leaving me stranded all day. Then the 2-3hr job turned into a full day. Then I get my car back and they haven't cleaned the windows before applying the tint.

Is that the tint on the Fairlane? There are no photos on their website.
And then I read the rest of your signature. I am hopeless. Looks good. I'll call them tomorrow.

make sure it is 35%, sept last year vic roadworthy laws changed and inspectors are required to test tint (a device that is placed on each side of the glass using a lazer to read the tint, must read 35% or higher) note police use this device.
what I have found is some tinters will fit 35% tint to glass that has already slight tint from factory thus taking it under

I sent Premier Tint and email last week and they haven't got back to me.
I might give them a call if they don't. Have you used them?
