Hey Guys, I've been talking to a friend from Tint A Car and I've managed to score our forum a deal. The following is only relative and available at Tint A Car Capalaba or Browns Plains For members on the forum i am able to offer a number of tints depending on how dark of course depends on the price which is listed below. (Please keep in mind the below prices are Cash Only) Tint Offered: Midnight Express Original Price Utes - $275.00 Cars - $395.00 Wagons - $495.00 Price Offered Utes - $200.00 Cars - $250.00 Wagons - $300.00 If you want tint that is 17% or 5% Price Offered Utes - $225.00 Cars - $275.00 Wagons - $325.00 I would not recommend going darker then 17%... But it is your decision. Also Keep in mind 35% is the legal limit (which does shit all). At the store there are samples which have been removed from cars which had been tinted in 3M, Tint Mart and Express which do not appear to last any longer than 2-3 years maximum! Tint A Cars tint is made in the USA and is not like the product used by their competitors. Please send me a Personal Message if you are interested so we can organize a time and which store you will be getting your car tinted at.. Or if you have any inquiries. Cheers Dave
thats a pretty good deal. at our local tint a car i get the 300zx's done for a little less then $300. so that a bargain at your price. midnight express is quiet nice. i presume this cost does not include removal of old tint.
UPDATE!!!! No change to price if you would like to have a combo of tint eg 17% back window and quarter panels and the rest legal *Be mindful that 17% is an illegal window tint and an insurance company will try and void any insurance if they see an illegal window tint as probably cause of an accident due to an obstruction of vision. They will charge $75.00 to strip the tint off a complete sedan, $100.00 for a wagon and $50.00 for a ute. *Which is cheap by competitor standards given I received a quote from Tint Mart being $88.00 to strip a rear screen only. * contact details to book it in - 07 3245 6822 and mention my name David Wells please pm if you do decide to make a booking first Thank you and I hope this helps .. Keep in mind this isn't just for zeds if you have daily drivers I can also help with that It is a great deal.. Keep in mind this offer is a limited time so get it while you can .. Cheers Dave
If the zed is built before 1994 You can say it was on there before hand and they cant do a thing about it, since it only applies if you got it done after that. It is legal for a pre 1994 car to have darker tint
happen to have any photos of cars with different grades of tint I was thinking of getting mine done with a 20% tint
i got my tints done for $180 at 5% in sydney and the guy comes to ur house... and he uses a german made tint so its good quality... pm me if u want his number for syd guys obviously... sorry for thread hijack...
Unfortunately i dont have any photos of the different grades of tint ... if you look at threads where people have posted up pictures of their different tint you can hardly tell the difference due to the reflection.. As mentioned earlier there are samples at the stores if you wanna look at what your purchasing and then make a decision its up to you! In Reply to Will.I.Am the good thing about this deal is it is done at a proper tint a car workshop by proffessionals with professional tools etc for an optimum out come and longer lasting tint ..not a back yard job
lol, i was just giving syd guys a chance for tint too... and if u dont think the tools the guy brings to ur place are proffessional u can take ur car to his tinting shop and get a proffessional job, he just does home jobs for more work, so maybe mo0re experienced???.... ps. its the person skill that creates a proffession
Please keep this thread for your expressions of interest .. And for those that have questions .. If you have other offers or ideas please create your own thread .. I'm just trying to help out queenslanders that are members please keep this thread on track thank you for your contribution to the thread will.I.am. Remember all to pm me if your going to make a booking
I think you are being a bit unfair with your comment above, to be totally up front I own a Tint Mart store and have done a few 300's for members of this site. Your comment about 3M tint is accurate, their track record lately has been very poor and is disgraceful considering they are the most expensive brand in the Australian market. But your comment about Tint Mart films lasting no more than 2-3 years is very misleading. We sell every brand of film on the market including Llumar (CP films) which is the manufacturer of all Tint-A-Car films, if you have seen Tint Mart jobs that have only lasted a short time then they were either faulty film (such as 3M which is covered for full replacement cost by the manufacturer) or may have been a cheap film (chosen by the customer to save a few $). You would be surprised how many people only want to spend $99 on a tint job, regardless of what you tell them about the quality of the film. Tint-A-Car themselves have had many failures with their films, but like us have manufacturer backed Australia wide warranties, so no matter what film you choose make sure you are happy with the terms of the warranty eg. Length of time Does it cover fading (most don't) Is it materials and labour (many are materials only) Can you get repairs done any where or does it have to go back to their franchise stores Also remember any tint darker than 35%VLT is illegal, voids your insurance, and Is not covered under any manufacturers warranty Thanks Peter
Only voids your insurance if you say you've put it on after you got the car, pre 1994 vehicles with it already fitted are fine and it is legal.
That might apply in NSW if you are lucky enough to get away with it but in QLD it is not the case. Also your insurance company when faced with a $10000+ claim may look further into the case so hope there are no paper trails like credit card or eftpos payments that may show otherwise. Shannons insurance assessors actually carry light meters now and will test tinted vehicles for legality in event of a claim, this trend will be catching on. I love the look of dark tint but I know 1st hand of the problems it can cause, I've now changed my focus to the new Hi-tec legal films that stop more heat than the old school illegal black tints.
It would be nice if all the laws were Aust wide but in Qld it's 1953 http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/file/ebde8d0521b67c6/Pdf_modification_motor_vehicles2.pdf
Hmmm Weird didn't even know they knew about window tinting that far back, that one you pasted me also is only guide they said not anything official, but yeah you are right I thought it said somewhere the Australian standards for window tinting law but it is on the RTA NSW website so go figure.
It's an extract from the official Qld transport regulations they have used for the booklet, I have an original copy and it is word for word. Qld regulations are crazy, you can have a commercial van with no windows in the cargo area and if you cut the steel out of the sides and fit a window it can not be tinted darker than 35%VLT BTW window tint was invented by 3M about 45 years ago, so?
In Response The gentleman that has offered this deal is a good family friend of ours and told me the information that i have posted up for you guys to see I was not in anyway trying to put down other tint companies only passing on the information that was provided for me As to say this in no way is profiting me i am just trying to provide a quality service that the average person would pay full price for.. at a lesser price for the aus300 community. My way of giving back for all the help provided by members here. The quality of the tint and work done at these workshops is guaranteed to be of their highest quality work as they do on every car. If you have any specific questions or are in need of any more information that i have been unable to provide please contact the number i listed under "UPDATE" they will be able to help you with what ever you need to know or my personal contact number is 0434978191- please only call me for serious enquires. remember to PM me before/after you have made a booking and if you have anymore specific questions feel free to post them here or PM me Once again please try to keep this thread on track .. as to say i dont care that you work for tint a car its really non of my business and i dont care what you think you know.. i dont see you offering any tint so if your not going to be useful or if your not interested in purchasing the tint please send me a PM rather then hijacking the thread thank you.

Tint Shade Pics Hi there, Some people were wanting to know what various shades look like and I remembered these pictures. They're from vendors of pre-cut tint on Ebay in the United States. The first is from Nusolis: found at http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/nusolis/ The second is from Tint Pro: found at http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/tint-pro/ Before anyone accuses me of advertising for someone I'm including the links because I can't just copy pictures and not give acknowledgment to the owners. Cheers, Lou
