Tinting the micra...

Sun 23 Sep 2007 01:59:58 PM
i've noticed alot of you have your windows tinted, and with summer approaching and the massive shop window style windows on the micra (ie. every bastard can see in all the time!) i was thinking of getting them done

how much did you pay approximately and any suggested places to go around sydney?

cheers guys

I'll let ya's in on a wee secret.. I have illegal tint. 32%

But its actually lighter than the 38% on our Patrol. Why? Micra has a light coloured interior and biiiiig windows. The patrol has a black interior.

Quite happy with 32%.

If there's enough sydney guys.
I can organise a tint day $150/micra.

I've organised a few for the Type-R guys on clubitr.com.au and the quality can be vouched.

Legal limit is 30% but IMO 15-20% is more effective, esp in summer.
Downside is reverse/parallel parking you gotta put the windows down at night sometimes.

Min. 4 to go ahead.
$150 is for a micra.
If it's a bigger 4 door car then it's $180 for the whole car.
oh and $50 to remove existing tint if it has it.

It's been tempting to do on more than a couple of occasions for micra stuff and gear for my other car :P

Though I think I may be able to find a guy who can do a decent deal for me.

got the micra tinted yesterday... 20%... its pretty dark but will fade over time, makes a difference to how hot you get sitting in the car with the sun on you!

quoite happy with it

in hindsight i should have gone 30 on the fronts and 20 on the back but oh well :D

cost $250, from a mobile guy

meh dunno, probly same thing that happened to the sydney meet!!!

$250 isn't too bad for a pro job... biggest quote i got was $380

the hatch window is part the reason for the expense, its quite curvy... good on girls, bad on tints
