I wouldnt recommend him if he was crap, he's done 8 cars for me personally so far.Hi MickBob tinted my last two cars @ 18%. However just the thought of an accident and having it denied scares me to get it at 18% again... The new Sentry Security Tint is not too bad and legal.. Dealer has offered to do it at a good price so may end up doing that and just keeping things above board.CheersChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a non metal film with a 33% vlt (visible light tranmission) when fitted to the green coloured glass in our Fords. It has the highest heat rejection of any non metal film at 60% yet still looks darker than most other legal films. It's distributed in Australia by MEP Films and should set you back about $250-300. One of my work colleages has the 3M CS20 (lower the number the darker the film) on his Typhoon and mine doesn't look that much lighter except it's legal. It comes in at 33% with a light meter because the factory Ford glass is a little darker than most other cars, but if you ever get questioned it's totally legal because it's sold as a 35% film.Any other questions just drop me a line and I'll be happy to help.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now my car has 35% which is way to light for my liking but goes from mirror tint to normal 35% just for something different.If you want it get it hey want can happen you get defected, rip it off and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any film with more than 10% reflectivity is illegal (mirror tint is around 80% reflectivity). Having 5% is just asking for trouble, it's only a matter of time before something goes horribly wrong. There are guys here on the coast that will do 5% on the sides and 35% on the front screen, that's just plain crazy and will one day probably kill someone. I had an incedent many years ago where I nearly took out a kid late at night on his BMX without lights at an intersection because I couldn't see out of the tint clearly.Good Luck Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
