I want mine tinted too, but obviously want to find a reputable/professional service - I've seen some poorly done tint jobs - bubbles galore!

Don't know about your part of the world but here I don't think its legal to have the front windscreen tinted at all..

its not, its illegal to have any tinting on the front windows now

As of January 1st 2004, new legislation was brought in that prohibits window tinting.

The Law:

You are not allowed to tint your windscreen or front windows AT ALL. Anything forward of the B pillar (middle of the car) MUST NOT be tinted in anyway. You are however still allowed to perform any level of tinting on your back windows.

If you've tinted you windows before January that does not mean that you are safe, if the police believe that your tint causes reduced visibility they can issue you with an order to have it removed.

Re: window tints! asap!

Read this.

it is illegal.

however if your tints are below 30% they cannot "do" you for it


even if they are above 30% you still have a week to remove them
