whats ya thoughts? how much cost?
thinkin of doin back 3 windows
slightly smoked or summint
r u doing it ur self
if not i recon for a decent job ur lookin at over a ton uless uve got mates who can do it
if ur doin it urself take the windows out as it easier as for the back id do it in sections because it curves thats how i did it sum 1 else on here might have an easier way

Pro - ?170 to ?300.
it will look poor if you just do the rear windows
dont do it ureself get a pro to do it. i made that mistake.
i did mine myself it looks sound but i recon mirror tints r easyier 2 do as u cant see bubbles as easly the only 1 i cudnt do was the rear screen because of the curve on it its worth tryin it ur self 1st 2 see if u can do it and if it looks gud ull have saved ur self summ ????

Ave been told that it is now illegal to have the door windows tinted of any kind but its still ok for the rear 3 windows.
Do you guys know if this is true?

Tint evrywindow apart from the windscreen.
The front door windows must allow 75% light through.
The rest can be as dark as you want.
You can tint the rear windows as much as you like think it's classed as a van when you have done it. the fronts must allow 75% in as said
CJ how easy is it to apply the rear window film from d-tweeks? as the normal stuff you have to cut into 3 strips to allow for the curve

It comes in Strips for the rear window but they miss out a section in the middle for some reason think its so you can see clearly thought in the rear view, but you get enough excess on the sheets to make a strip up to cover it!!

i recon there suposed to let 70% of the light through em by law but ask BC as his old boys a copper fronts that is

yeah its 70% light throught my bro had his tested by a copper when he got pulled over a while back
asked a bloke last night an aparently only the traffic cops have a light meter on board so if you get pulled by a normal cop they can recommend you take it out or send you to an mot testing station to get it checked
