$75 is a no profit job.

You can buy the films 3m of tint for about $20 at the shops.

So he's only really getting in $50.

You can go for it if you want. Depending on the film and the way its been applicated will be the lasting factor.

remember back in primary? our school books were contact papered and if you did a crappy job they bubbled, or if you used cheap crap later on you'll find they open up and go all ugly

my dad did his own tints on an 86 magna back in 1990. its 14 years old now and is still the same so I guess it depends on what film is used.

$75 seems too cheap. I reckon they'll use poor quality tint film.

Just go to any reputable place and ask for metallic tints (most are thesedays anyhow). Get it in 35% as it's darkest legal and looks the nicest :) . You should get a decent quote anywhere from $200 to $400.

man pm me. the guy that did my tint is good, he will tint it for cheap and dark as you like with high quality tint - anti scratch for about 150 if you pay any more than this amount you are being ripped off for both cash and qualitly.

I dont know if there is a MING in Melbourne, but they do a Titanium tint for about 350$ I think, and I love them. Head them on all cars cept the Stivo (cause I havent had the spare cash)

It is a T35 and looks good.; It isn't the darkest, but you my experience is that the darkest aren't always the best...

In Melbourne there's quite a few, even some that come out to you, Mine was done by Tint Conditioning - was about 200 for darkest legal.

REMEMBER to make sure you get BLACK coloured film. Blue or Brown just looks pox.

Under most flouro lights and halogens (ie Carpark lights) it actually flicks between green & purply

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
