Window tint opinion

**Dy_** · 22-01-2008 11:13 PM

20% is good...my looks heaps dark but when i turn on the dome light its all good from outside. so when you get pulled all windows down and light on.
I got 6 leds for my dome though.

ANY tint % is allowed on pre-94 vehicles as a LOOPHOLE.

because ADR states that it needs to have been applied before 94 (oct-93 i think)...

its upto 5% aug 94

I had 15% on my car and it passed the one and only Insurance payout it went through. However, I had to go back to the wreck and wind the windows down

My next car will be 35% on the front, with 15% on the backs. Not worth the hassle of feeling like a criminal when cops drive past or worrying you're not insured.

^- older cars pre 94 are allowed darker tints up to 5% i think

not a good idea if u drive at nite with ur windows up.

I had 15% on my old DA9 during the day was great n at nite it was ok if there were street lamps but couldnt see without anysort of light. Never got pulled over and i scraped the gutter a few times with the windows up.

18% to 20% is ur best bet.

Does pre 94 include 94?

i have a copy of the QLD vehicle modifications guide and it doesent even mention any exception of tints applied pre-94, it just states any darker than 35% is illegal.

i heard as long as the front driver and passenger window are of legal darkness the rears don't matter, any truth to this?
