gwin Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Anyone know what the % amount is on the tints that came with the luxury pack? Accurate information please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceinsideyou Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 According to what I think frylai told me earlier, they're 45%. However, I plan to get my fronts done with 35% - one would hardly notice the difference between them I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frylai Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yes it is 45%, 35% will be close to a perfect match if you use the deflector from Solace. Matt =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceinsideyou Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Excuse my usual ignorance - what's the deflector from Solace? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwin Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 looks pretty dark though. thought its around 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frylai Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I went to a tinting place in Auckland and got them to test it out, they said it was 45%...sometime you can miss led it when the amount of glare and the colour of the tint is different from each other!

voiceinsideyou Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 It can't be 25% as for a regular vehicle such as an Altezza, the legal limit in NZ is 35%. From a manufacturer's point of view, I suspect one would be somewhat conservative as different countries have different limits and so forth. I guess 45% makes sense.

AltezzaNZ Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Factory tinted glass... even if it was 25% it would still be ok... the law only applies to aftermarket crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwin Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 exacto mondo to the post above thats why i wanna know exact numbers. coz anything stock standard is permissable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceinsideyou Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I stand corrected then. Anyway, gwin - if you're going to get the rest done aftermarket, aren't you going to be bound by the aftermarket limit anyway? And I don't know about you, gwin, but the tints in my Altezza aren't that dark really, so I have NO idea how you could think it was 25%... :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwin Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 If aftermarket matches standard specs it gets passed. Bull*BLEEP* walks. I had 18% on mine before I had to pull them off for AIS. planning on going limo tint next round but bringing it to my mate to get it passed. made a mistake and brought it to someone with a reputation. *DAMN* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceManNZ Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I had the rears tested on the my Altezza, they are 37% Over And Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceinsideyou Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hmm, interesting. I'm guessing maybe there's some uncertainty in the measurements - perhaps only accurate +/- 5%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
