I'm thinking of having the Ute (RA Holden Rodeo 2004) Window Tinted The Ute sits in the sun for most of the day and gets like an oven at times. Any thoughts on types of film and costs would be appreciated !
With thanks
Bill

Hi Bill, ring around and you'll be floored by the difference in price... I also went for the 3M darkest legal on my Triton. As already mentioned, they offer lifetiome warranty, I was familiar with the brand and it also happened to be the cheapest... From memory about $55/window. I got
mine from Twilight Auto Tint in Ringwood,
I didn't get a chick with big boobs chamoising my car but I saved about $150 on that particular quote...

The warranty is certainly something to keep in mind- lifetime would be perfect. Just make sure it covers extreme conditions (or has no clauses excluding it) worth also looking for one that includes labour on warranty jobs (unlikely though).
I had
mine replaced 11 years down the track after the tint started dropping metallic flecks and the windows fogged a little. Go for a
well known established installer too so you know warranty will be honoured further down the track.

Hilux Dual cab was $120. Cant remember he name of the tint, but it has life time warranty yadda yadda. I certainly wont own th truck in 25yrs time so long term warranty doesnt really concern me.
I went with a 15% time (a bit darker than the legal 35%). This makes sooooo much difference it isnt funny. It also matches the ARB factory tint on their canopies.
Hopping in a car with normal 35% tint is a joke compared to a darker tint. Yes I know its not legal.
Cheers,
Glenn.

Thanks for your comments. $120 seems to be a real bargain.
You say it's not legal. How would you go in an accident...insurance wise.? I'm always wary of Insurance Companies. I like the idea of being darker but I'm not sure if I would take the risk.
Thanks Glenn and good luck.
