window tinting

thanks for the advice.

any ideas on price range for my model.

i know it depends on what type tint.

thinking of something that will last but dont want to look like a mirror. just want something to keep the heat and glare out and look good with black duco and chrome work

thanks

If you where local to me i could do you a good price for the carbon film $195 mates rates LOL
but in a tint shop you will be looking around $350-$450
I have done some of Stephen M many cars and 4by's he has had and he seemed happy with the job.
Just shop around your local blokes and bargan with them or if its worth a drive i can help you out
Cheers

i think i would be interested in the mates rates - they are always good. Main thing is getting a good quality job, after all its something you got to spend a fair bit of time looking at after its done hey.

where are you located and how long does it take to fit? never know what can be arranged with a little bit of thought. i was wanting to find an excuse to take my 10 y.o. son somewhere different.

thanks

hey rusty my email as follows

v8footy AT hotmail.com

obviously replace the AT with @ and you will get me.

i am in no hurry other than before xmas. only other thing i need to do is arrange LPG conversion which should be done in about 4 or 5 weeks if i go ahead with it. (still tossing that one up)

good luck with the new bub. wish your missus all the best - obviously all your hard work is finished and hers is about to begin. hope she isnt over-cooking it by leaving it in there LOL :)) good luck to you both. send me an email when you get time with some details for me to contact you. thanks mick

Just one question, why would you still be tossing up about having it fitted with the rising fuel prices and the Gov subs, for having it fitted??

I have both road vehicle and Off Roader converted and can't even contemplate not having it...

Hey Rusty,
If your keen I to have a prado that needs tinting, I'm at Hornsby Heights so just through the gorge and I'm there.

email: andrew.lee@defence.gov.au work hours
dixie_lee_au@yahoo.com.au after hours
I'm in no rush but like mick would like it done before XMAS

Cheers
Andrew

Hi PradoOz, as everydoghasitsday has stated yes he has done around 5 of my own private vehicles (not including the prado ) which was done prior to me buying it and as he has mentioned the cheap dyed crap will fade as myn has done and go a purple colour. I have been extremely happy with the quality of his work on all my vehicles and have never had any issues with lifting,going bubbly etc as seen on some vehicles. Forgot to also say in last nights reply the darker it is the harder it is to see out of on a rainy and/or dark night when reversing which Im sure everydoghasitsday will agree with. I would take his advice and go the dearer tint you wont regret it. Regards Steve M

Hi Blaze - I was only tossing up the idea as I wasnt sure how towing a caravan or off road driving would be effected. I actually booked in today for the conversion which hopefully will go ahead in next 4 weeks or earlier. I would be happier if I could keep the 90L main petrol tank and fit the LPG tank in the place of my 69L sub tank. But if I am to get any benefit from a LPG tank it has to go in place of the main petrol one.

So it is due soon so hopefully all will be good.

Thanks for your opinion and reply. Cheers Mick

Hi Steve

Thanks for the info. I am happy enough to go for the better film as I rather quality in anything any day. I just want to have something that looks good against the black duco also. I am aware of the problems of dark tint and night vision which is one reason why I have not tinted the Prado before and stuck with the factory stuff for so long. I was wondering what the tint Rusty recommends looks like on a dark car or any car for that matter. Do you have a photo you can email me.

v8footy@hotmail.com if you are able to send something.

I trust his opinion and yours as word of mouth is the best form of advertisment. A good job will reward him with many recommendations in the future as yours is doing now. Looks like my thread here may get Rusty busy after the new bub arrives with Andrews reply also. I may even be able to talk the daughter into doing her first car which now sits in the garage with my wifes now outside. (and she hasnt even got off her Ls yet)

Thanks Steve any info appreciated and thanks to all other replies and suggestions. They are all worthwile reading. Cheers Mick

Hi again Blaze

LPG on 4WD

REVERSE CAMERAS on 4WD

If you have an opinion or suggestion on these two things would you care to drop me an email at the address I wrote above or post here. All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Mick

It was hard enough seeing oncoming cars. Pedestrians under street lights and kids riding pushbikes with a light on the handle bars were all but invisible. Not safe.
