Awesome, thanks for the tip - Fairfield is closest to me so that might be an option.

And I must be out of it, because last time I got a car tinted metallic film was supposed to be best... got any photos of yours? I'm not planning to go over legal, but I'd be curious to see that 15% looks like.

Got mine done at Carbon Car Systems in Blacktown NSW, but was an indifferent experience. Had a bubble appearing at driver side window and rear screen after a week, but they were happy for me to bring it back to fix it. Alas after waiting over 2 hours they only fixed the driver side window and decided not to go back again due to the long round trip journey. I also noticed some screws missing on door shell which I suspect might not have been reattached during the job.

Had my tint done by Martin at Ground Zero, Blacktown NSW.
Highly recommended and professional work.

My tint is 15% sides and back and yes, it does look dark in the sunlight but I'm very happy with it. $160 and under 2 hours.

Martin can do it for $160 for darkest legal. Pascal does it for $180 for any tint percentage.

Pascal did mine for $220 that included taking off the tint that came from the dealer which was 35%, and putting on 15% ceramic tint imported from the US, which apparently reflects more heat than carbon. And comes with a lifetime warranty.

Any recommendations for Inner West with prices like this for darkest legal?

I know Blacktown's not too big a trip but working 5 days makes getting out there difficult.

Cheers

Heard good things about these guys: http://www.tintonthemove.com.au/ - haven't done it myself, but on good authority from fellow 86 owners.
