South Australia
Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 1999
under the Road Traffic Act 1961
Window tinting
(1) Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must have a luminous
transmittance of at least:
(a) for a motor vehicle built after 1971—75%; or
(b) for another motor vehicle—70%.
(2) Windscreen glazing of a motor vehicle must not be coated in a way that reduces its
luminous transmittance.
(3) However, subrules (1) and (2) do not apply to the greater of the following areas of a
windscreen:
(a) the area above the highest point of the windscreen that is swept by a
windscreen wiper;
(b) the upper 10% of the windscreen.
(4) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor vehicle must have a
luminous transmittance of at least 70%.
(5) Glazing behind the rear of the driver's seat may be coated to achieve a luminous
transmittance of not less than 35%.
(6) Glazing in a side window forward of the rear of the driver's seat may be coated to
achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 70% or, if another law of this
jurisdiction allows a lesser luminous transmittance, the greater of:
(a) the lesser luminous transmittance allowed under the other law; and
(b) 35%.
(7) Glazing that has been coated to reduce its luminous transmittance must not have a
reflectance of over 10%.
(8) The luminous transmittance requirements in subrules (5) and (6) apply to a vehicle
instead of the corresponding requirements in the relevant ADR.
(9) In this rule:
glazing means material fitted to the front, sides, rear or interior of a vehicle, through
which the driver can see the road, but does not include a coating added after
manufacture of the material.
luminous transmittance, for glazing, means the amount of light that can pass
through the glazing as a percentage of the amount of light that would be transmitted
if the glazing were absent.

3M Titanium tint, perfect tint, just dark enough but not too dark

won't bubble, turn purple or fade, I love it and my car is in the sun all the time, lol

should be roughly $280 for install, don't cheap out here, get a good brand or it'll have to be done again anyhow :D
