Darkest Legal tint is junk. IMO its doesnt give much privacy at all. BUT it is what is. You can go few % below darkest legal and it shouldnt be much of an issue with insurance etc.

Got 5% back windows and back windscreen & 10% on front windows on mine. Ive always been a fan of dark tint anyway..

Its 35% but cash talks

New WA laws as posted already!

All vehicles

Tinted films are not allowed on the main part of the windscreen. A tinted band across

the top of the windscreen is permitted providing it is above the portion of the windscreen

swept by the wipers and it does not intrude into the primary vision area of the

windscreen. The band area must not be more than 10% of the windscreen area unless

the Vehicle Safety and Standards Section have provided written permission.

Passenger Vehicles

A minimum of 20% VLT tint can now be applied to windows behind the B pillar provided

that external rear vision mirrors complying with ADR14 are fitted to the exterior on each

side of the vehicle.

Note: All windows whether tint has been applied or not forward of the "B" pillar

must have a VLT of at least 35%.

Tinted film must not be reflective or mirror like as it can dazzle other drivers by reflecting

sunlight or headlight beams. The Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 limit the

reflectance of window tint film to 10%. Again, you may be subject to receiving a

compliance notice or an immediate fine for contravening the Road Traffic (Vehicle

Standards) Regulations 2002
