    What sort of money would I be looking at to get my 2 side windows & the rear cab window tinted with something which will last?

    In laymans terms, if you can see your seats from the outside, it should be ok..( legally) 35's and lightbars(used to be) illegal, but who did that stop ?

    Depends.. You'd have to call your local windscreen bloke, if you dont have tinters up there. I had to get my 1/4 glass window retinted after a break in, and they only charged me $20.
    I wouldnt think its expensive?

    I paid $200 to do my last wagon, that was 4 windows, 2 back quater windows and the rear. I can't remember the product used but on doing research it was the best around.
    Make sure you get quotes in winter time as prices tend to rise in warmer months...

    @ Cuppa I paid $250 to have all windows stripped of the old tint and a new darker tint applied.
    Funny how the MOF didn't notice , yet every one else did.

    I want mine redone and am thinking of leaving out the sliding windows... mine is badly done and full of scratches so even harder to see out of at night.

    I even thought about painting the cargo windows from the inside ,
    but I dont want/have a storage system up to the roof,
    I think a cardboard template might work just as well

    Have you tried spray on tint??
    You spray it on until you have the darkness you want.
