if you do it your self good luck. but if you get pulled by the police youll have to rip it off. and if you get it done by a pro you get a peice of paper to anoy the cops with.

"a piece of paper to annoy the cops with"?
Whats all that about then? If its too dark its too dark no matter who fitted to them (been pulled 3 times with pro fitted tints)

Lol, they may give you a piece of paper but it doesn't prove anything. If plod thinks they are dark they will use their own light meter on them no matter what your piece of paper says.

Cops don't hate tinted glass they are just enforcing the law. By all means challenge the result in court on the basis of "They set it to be illegal even if it isn't" but I think you'll get short shrift.
The fact is that with tints below the legal limit you are signficantly less able to see clearly.

Oz, have you never had tinted windows?
I've had 2 bravo's with tinted windows and on my first the front tint (50% transmission) it was barely noticable. You could tell it was done for sure, but it was quite light. It made very little discernible difference.
On my second they were an unknown darkness, but when voluntered for a test they failed (no specific figure given to me, but i suspect 30-50% transmission)
These made a little difference when parking or reversing at night(ie it was hard to see the kerb), but not on the road, because vehicles with their lights on are really easy to see at night.

Vehicles are but people walking along don't have lights chap.
I have no personal experience of tints on one of my cars but it stands to reason, Tint=less light transmission=you don't see as clearly.
It even applies to glasses. Opticians will not sell you prescription shades with more than 30% tint as it's illegal to do so (or so my optician told me - I'm so trusting) due to most people using them to drive.
