Tinting
Hey guys,
Getting my wagon tinted soon and being a 4WD I can go darker on all the rear windows. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with having 5% tints on the rear in regards to visibility? I'm weighing up between 5% and 20%.
Cheers!

Re: Tinting
A flatmate had 5% tints in his GTX hatch way back when, and it was $$% horrible at night
Couldn't see a damn thing. 20 would be plenty dark enough and still be usable. Unless you went 5% on just the side windows?

Re: Tinting
Sweet, that's enough to convince me to go 20%! Would still like the kids to be able to see out
but be nice to not have them blinded by the sun...
Could possibly do 5% sides/20% rear but yeah, pretty sure the kids want to see outside

Autotintz are doing mine too
They are running a special on at the moment until 1st September, I think all up it is about $220 including the 20% on the rear. Really good pricing and Nick has a great reputation.

Re: Tinting


Well it turned out awesome. Super happy with how well Nick did it.
Ended up costing $349 as I went for the Carbon tint rather than Standard Pro - the Standard Pro was more charcoal colour and the black looks better.
