The Law and Tinted Vehicles

[adnj]

how does the maths work?
if stock glass is 90%
how does it reach 64%?

Multiplicative:

VLT glass × VLT film = VLT Effective

0.64 ÷ 0.90 = 0.71

so lunar air 80 should give 73% odd

You may need to meter your glass first.

I may have posted this before:

Nearly all automotive glass that is "untinted" falls into the 70% - 85% VLT range.

Factory glass has a light tint to disguise small manufacturing defects.

Make sure and check the glass first.

Mine was 80% from the factory. Added the air blue llumar and it came down to 64%.

[pugboy]

so you took off the air tint as it made it illegal ?

My 64% still looks untinted and has no 6" strip. It looks factory and I doubt the police bothering to check my windshield.

The fellas inspecting the car last year came out with the razor blade to take off the last sticker before I stopped them from cutting the tint.

[pugboy]

insp station i went never checked my tint
i guess once it’s not blacked out they don’t bother with detail of %

Yes. Wife made me.

If I'm honest, I didn't like the blue tinge on everything. I complained about it from day one, especially as it cost $600.

So for those of you who tint the entire front windscreen, how do you deal with the inspection stickers that need to be removed when you get a new inspection done?

Can they remove the old sticker and not damage the tint?

[pugboy]

good question
i didn’t bother to put on my sticker as the paper cert is good enough if stopped

[gastly369]

Lol

Ummm...you have the new sticker that the inspection centers themselves install with the qr code?

I cut a oval in my tint around the sticker

[pugboy]

what happens when they change the shape of the sticker?

[pugboy]

[Chimera]

I had strip my front glass the other day when I had to go for inspection. For years it's been rectangle sticker. U feel they changing from oval anytime soon?

I probably have to strip my front glass anytime i hadda inspect in any event

[pugboy]

It have a form online, fill out and drop off
Once approved, they will call u for an inspection and give u the approved VLT
You get a certificate also

The criteria varies, they will consider whats presented and act accordingly

[Chimera]

The exemption doesn't allow you to have g5 or fully blacked out tint.

I applied once or twice....people call me for bribes after I drop in the form...
One man wanted 10k for 3 vehicles. One man wanted 5k for one vehicle.

As it is now I does just roll fully g5 and I have certain police to call in different areas depending on where I get stopped who will tell whoever in charge of the road block to let me be on my way if it comes to that. But 9/10 times I can talk my way out of it.

[Chimera]

With regards to that 80% nano tint

You can cheaply bring in a 10 foot long piece to do a whole car including full front windscreen for like 400 450.

I have this on my whole vehicle then g5 over it.

Idk how men does make out with no tint and light tint and without nano tint in this weather na.

[MaxPower]

So why not apply for an exemption?

I applied.

Was told they not signing off any applications because the tint act “gone back to parliament” and they have 3000+ applications on the man desk.

An example of an exemption:

So doh feel getting an exemption let’s you wet up the place and flaunt with 5% right rong.

[Chimera]

Yea that exemption is failure. Some people getting permits though. Security companies. Ppl with FUL etc

[gastly369]

Also isn't the exemption valid for 1 year and have to go thru whole process again?

Well yeh the usual who u know with GT.

With regard to the FUL, there isn’t anything on the form or any area on the form to include you are a FUL holder.

Tint or no tint a FUL holder should not have their firearm exposed in a vehicle.

Open for discussion.
