Hi guys...need a few opinions here thanks. Getting the black 'rolla tinted next week at the Tint Professor in nunawading (vic)...they're telling me not to get the standard black (as on their Getz's) but 'cos it's black, they always go for a more silver tint that looks (to them) better on black..

So which do you agree with them, and are they good guys to deal with...??

Cheers fellas..

Yeah I heard that black cars apparently look more better with the silver film.

Im not sure if its legal though? Could that be classified as mirror tint?

Hey there,

Welcome to the club man. :D

I got my Black STivo tinted from the dealer...not as black but more a dark greenish tinge.

At first i was ****** off cause it wasn't black enough but as has been confirmed it was the darkest legal limit, n the way it tints is a little diff - Mirror like.

Not too sure bout T.Pro but if i was gonna retint...i would've gone to them.

There are a few diff types of tints...but i believe the main too are either:

1. Just darkening your windows for a dark look or...

2. My personal preference...mirror tints which actually work like mirrors do.

If you check out a lot of new Jap imports inc R34s, Evo 8s n above and even the Toyota Kluger the have what's called "privacy glass" setup where only the rear n passenger windows are allowed to be PiTcH black.

As for tint colours black or silver i think is up to you for your own personal preference. B)

Should come on the cruise man! Check out the Melb Meet Thread, i'm sure u can get a whole lotta ideas from other Rolla owners. :D B)

Yeah that was like me. When I got my car back from SolarTint I was very dissapointed with the "lightness" of the tint. Legal is tint is not very dark at all.

Do people really get pulled over for having their tint to dark???

I've seen some cars that look like they have black paint on their windows.

I work in the automotive industry and in my experience it is extremely rare to get pulled over for your tint. I had an ambulance tint on my last car which you litereally couldn't see into even if you put your nose to the glass. Only once was it ever commented on in 3 years of being pulled over, and all that was said was "Is that tint legal? It looks too dark" To which I replied it was on the car when I bought it...Nothing more said. I wouldn't worry bout it.

Thanks for all the input fellas..much appreciated.

The cost is $265...seems good considering it's for premium tint when others like tint-a-car are quoting the same for their el-cheapo basic tint.

You also get to drive their lairy getz's as a loan car if you need it.

They have an interesting forum on their site www.tintprofessor.com.au/forum/ and they seem pretty honest with their responses on the form.

Might post some pics when it's done.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
