Tinting the micra...

[smidge]

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

[smidge]

thanks nsm!

 

[CMF_tris]

approximately how much does it cost from bob to get your windows done??

 

[CMF_Yom]

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%.

 

[smidge]

yeah i'll be going 20-30% if i can, the windows are massive, or maybe i'll go jap style and 35% on front and 15-20% on the rear

looks awesome i reckon

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.

On that note, does anyone know someone in Perth who can do reasonable price illegal tint? Tint a car want 380bux to retint my micra in their darkest legal tint.

 

[smidge]

$150 is very reasonable... id be after 20-30%-ish

count me in, how many do you need Ed?

 

[CMF_tris]

yeh that sounds good ed id be up for that!! and i got a mate who would aswell!! so thats an extra 2 possibly

 

[CMF_ed.]

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.

 

[CMF_tris]

where abouts is this place?

 

[CMF_deNs]

$150... damn I wish I was up in sydney. Desperately in need of some tint for this summer. Doubt i'd be able to find it that cheap from normal places down here.

Road trip!!!

 

[CMF_deNs]

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

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

Find a tint place and ask one of the guys that works there to do a job on the side go to auto barn and buy there tint film get the guy to fit it should be under 200 easy that is what i did cost me 70 for tint and 100 to fit.

 

[CMF_Micra_King]

Hey off topic but JUSTO contact me mate as I lost all my msn contacts last night and I dont have your new email addy...and cant remember your msn addy.

 

[smidge]

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

cost $250, from a mobile guy

 

[CMF_tris]

that looks sick smidge!! i wana get mine done... but not for 250 hah what happened to the tint day.....

 

[smidge]

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
