Is it the lower the numbers(18%) the darker the tint?←-ive got 18% all round, perfect compromise between darkest legal (pfft what darkness) and limo tint (too dark IMO for night)if your in perth I got a guy who does all our cars that will do it cheaply- 35 is darkest legal, lower = darker- if you fail the attitude test you will get canaried no matter what - a mate of mine had a perfect HQ Monaro, couldnt be failed for anything but he was a smartass and got a sticker for no water in the windshield washer reservoir.

BFXR6T Member 23 Member For: 19y 2m 2d Posted 12/04/06 03:59 PM Share Posted 12/04/06 03:59 PM In canberra I have very dark tint on my 84 Honda Accord (18% tint over factory aircon tint). I have pulled up next to many a police car and nothing.The only time where it may become an issue for me is when I transfer the car into someone else's name and it needs to go over the pitts, then it won't pass rego. But seeing I am giving it to my sister when my BF XR6T arrives in 2 months, I will just keep the car in my name.I will no doubt get the same darkness of tint on my white XR6T when it arrives.... should look hot!
