Yeah, advice: don't go to Manly West! hahahahahahahaha. Seriously, there are one or two shops there that are good.

Just make sure you get 3M window tint. Normally they will offer you 3 or 5 year fade warranty.

If you are Westener, then they will offer you only 30% tint. Thats the max we are allowed, or is it 40%, can't remember now. Do not get the sun-strip across the top of ya windscreen, looks pants!

I would recommend a shop accross from Lamcy Plaza. It's an Audio shop, but they offer good swervice and do a very, very good job. It's not cheap though, but it will not peel or bubble. If it does, you take it back.

If you don't mind me asking, when you say not cheap, what kinda ball park are they?? Yes i know i'm just being lazy and could call them.

If I remember, I paid AUD350 for my Sports car. I think it would be around AUD500-550 for a decent sized 4x4.

You were pretty much right on the money, I went there yesterday and priced them out, they quoted 600 before any discount discussions.

They had a couple cars in the room and i watched them work on one, looked very sharp. I'll let you know if I decide to go with them and how it all turns out.

the price is complocalle to Canada, to tint my P5 ran me CDN 160 or about AUD450 for 3m, 5 year warranty, gradient tint.

Nice one. Thye are pretty decent bunch of guys and gals.

What % tint did you look at.

There are cheaper places to go, but I found them very good and at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

The 50% 5 year guarantee 3m is really nice but I haven't committed just yet, I've only had the car for 17 hours, need to make sure it runs okay first.

There are considerably cheaper, I know a guy that'll do the car for AUD 150 but I'm a little hesitant and am looking for good references, it is silly in my opinion to spend X thousands on a car and then make it look like trash to save a few hundred.
