not sure exactly. also the interior light might make it go flat and the stereo and maybe the parkers or headlight might of been on. wen we tint a cars at work, even brand new ones with new batteries, 1 hour of having the ignition on makes the car go flat. thats with having the radio on low and putting the windows up and down at most 4 times. it doesn't take much to make it go flat.

this man speaks the truth ^^^

i got my last set of kyb's for 140 a pair. they did the job and were really good. i put them with king spring lows in a corolla. if you are still looking into getting these let me know. i am also thinking of putting kyb's into a yaris 5dr very soon. but i am going to try to pair with king springs again after my great experiances with them. plus i can get them cheap as chips.

Oh bingo, this would undoubtedly be the problem then. Do you find you engine heats up quickly or gets really hot? i used to have a 20v that would take about 20 mins to heat up then overheat when driving. the stivo heats up in about 4 mins and doesn't get to hot when driving either. it sits just about 45% up the guage.

best way to describe how a canon would sound on your car. grab a milo tin, fart in it and hear the sound bouncing off the walls of the empty tin.

i like yelle. good french group. they have better songs than this though.

give doyles in auburn a call. they do all the leather for steve jarvin motors so they have loads of experiance and are very good i myself have dealed with through work and got very good deals. although i have no idea what they would charge for a whole car. if we damage leather at work we get them to retrim it for us.

ahahahaha miketurbanisdirty.

i think the honey comb in the cat has gone fallen apart. it sounds like there are pebbles in my exhaust somewhere. will take it down soon and get it checked.

i loved the old cyclones we used to get in brizzy. i used to live in logan when i was a young fella and mate they were awsome. excellent footage mate.

it's alright. i am a terrible salesman because i can't bring myself to lie to people. my bosses hate it when i have to deal with customers because i tell them all the details and give them a cheap price. at the end of the day if i was buying tint, and knew nothing about it, i would want to know the truth.

i dont take it the wrong way lol. TAC parra is very good aswell and would look after you i tinted my best mates car and charged him $295 as well. and i paid for half of it out of my own pocket as a birthday present for him. we cannot go below that price. we will vary the price on certain days and i would say parra did the same. on a quite day we will charge 320 to get people in. and on a busy day we will charge 395 because we dont need the customer. with the car industry in trouble at the moment, prices are dropping for tint and so forth as no one is looking into buying it, and cars arn't being sold. hence less customers so cheaper prices. the only thing saving us is that summer is coming on and tint will reduce the heat. and 4 months ago is was 100 bucks of MEX. We run promotions on a season basis. Bolle ended today. it very well could be that Midnight express is now our promo again which would mean 295 again. lol like i said i am workshop manager not sales manager.

... and reduce visible light thereby increasing privacy. As you described, reducing IR though would act as a heat insulation of sorts ? So increasing the insulation property of the vehicle (most noticeable in summer?) and increasing privacy... isn't that why people usually get window tinting ? At least that's my criteria. I haven't made the leap yet, and although I've had the Presara now for 4 months, I still miss the privacy of the window tinting I had in my last car. My idea/point about the UV-sensitive tints was more in line with having a changing level of tint based on amount of UV. So at night there would be less tinting to avoid the reduction in visibility. However, as you point out, UV gets filtered out so for this to work (assuming that there is such a film) the tint would have to be applied to the exterior rather than the interior (as the glass filters UV before reaching the interior film). Exterior film application would be silly though ? Just an idea... Here's another question about the tinting process. Given that the film is applied on the inside, how well are the windows actually cleaned prior to the film being applied ? What's used to clean the windows ? Might seem like a silly question, but have you ever tried to clean the car windows (especially the rear window) to such an extent that it is absolutely spotless and streak-free? Seems to me like quite a challenge, and to have film applied over a bad clean job would permanently seal that disappointment in? Maybe there's a scientific explanation why this is not important if you add another layer on top with no gap for light to be refracted? they are cleaned with a razor blade first windows are then cleaned with an ammonia based product called glass klean and a scoura. then we use a squeegy. then we use alot of water to flush dirt away. then put the soapy solution on then the film. same with rear screen exept we use steel wool instead of a razor blade for obvious reasons. DO NOT EVER USE AMMONIA BASED PRODUCTS ON THE TINT. IT WILL FLAKE THE TINT OFF AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY. also check with car washes to make sure they dont clean your windows with it either

I am the Workshop Manager of a tint-a-car in sydney. ( i wont say which one just in case, but we are a very big performer) by the way i am not advertising as i get no personal gain from doing you guys a deal. i do not get a commission as i am the workshop manager not the sales manager. i bought mish and marks sportivo and that is why i am on the forum, not because i am trying to make money for TAC. first up speed. formula one is 35% so it is not darker than the legal limit. midnight express is the darkest legal 35% as well. so is bolle mk1 and mark2. midnight express looks darker as it has charcoal in the film which gives it a black effect. i am giving you the honest truth here with this. TAC is full of salesmen who work on commission. they will try to sell you anything to make themselves money. so here are the correct prices and what we can adjust to. (for sedans) Midnight express -- 10 year warranty RRP is $395 we can cut 40 off depending on how hard the car is formula one -- 25 year warranty, RRP is 545 and we can drop to 500 Bolle is much the same. New cars from car yards get a cheap as film which costs them about 220 and they charge you 500+ so never ever take up the tint option when buying a new car, you get a cheap film with not much warrenty. we dont compete with other stores as we are all franchises and can all charge whatever we want. Now to let you guys in sydney know. pm me if you want a deal on window tint. $295 for MEX, 20% or 18%. you will still get your warrenty and as you are from this website, I will personally make sure it is a very good job. i will say you are a mate (mate's rates discount) and for those who complain that our prices are expensive, just think about it this way. Does a merc A class cost the same as a yaris?? why? you can buy 35% at supercheap auto for 20 bucks and pay a tinter probably $50 to put it on for you. our films are high qualtiy and we offer full warrenties on the film and workman ship. plus you get a free car wash. we go out of our way to make sure that your whole car will look schmick once the film is on.

haahhaah i noticed that and was gunna so close to putting that link up aswell.
