        its $130……. you could get your car tinted 3 times over and still have money left over.

          @W0rldtraveller: Call and ask what film they are using, research that film online. believe it or not there are numerous window tinting forums.

          Also, my understanding is a fair percentage of OEM privacy glass is just coloured glass which does not contain the properties of some window tint films.

    Im like you. I only wanted 3M film to be used on my car and could not be happier at the difference in heat. This film is not cheap

    Having said that I had my front windows done for $179 here http://www.carboncartinting.com.au

    Dont worry about the rear windows and UV protection etc by covering them in clear film. Its BS

      Are you sure about this? is it mean that the color/darkness between front and rear window is different?

        Yes

        Rear privacy windows are around 20% tint that is why the colour is different

        Maximum legal tints for the fronts allowed are 35% so you will always end up with the front windows being lighter than the rears if you keep things legal
        The higher the % the lighter the tint

        I have a Kluger with factory privacy glass on the back and have no problem with heat or UV
        Putting my hands on the tinted driver side window and the rear passenger window I notice no difference in heat on the inside

    carbon car systems blacktown, was about $250 3 years ago for a mazda 3. as for the tint mines still like new and I havnt noticed less or more heat will be hard to tell unless I have an identical car next to me to compare.

    mine is max legal all around but I should have gone darker on the back window

      +1

      it is legal to have the rear side windows as dark as you like
