Illegal fitment across Oz
Devil with bad attitude

Hey listen up Aussie tinters and spread the word!
There is so much illegal car film going on right across Oz at the moment that this has to stop and this includes the once sacrosant front windscreens.
If we don't and let me tell you now, these chickens are going to come home to roost big time and bite all on the arse. eg. Got told by my Sydney distributor a couple of days ago that they had a car in that had 5% all round and 35% on the front screen which was to be pulled off.
I urge all to heed the regulations or we may find the fitting of any car film anywhere being made illegal and wipe out a huge part of the industry....no point crying then when it's too late.

ive been told that NSW police are pushing to ban driver and passenger film fullstop but from behind driver and passenger to maintain 35% VLT. but apparently this is solely NSW police and not the roads and traffic authority as they cannot suggest any safety concerns with 35% VLT on the front 2 windups.
it would be interesting to see if they could ban window film as anyone who gets skin cancer could partly blame not having the right to protect their skin when in their car.
i do see what your saying and thats how our government acts australia wide they see some ill3gal sh!t going around so all of a sudden everything is banned.
Free country , my ass.
now ive got a shop i keep it all legal, had to turn down a NSW police officer that wanted darker than legal claiming hes allowed it , that was interesting. needless to say he didnt call me back.
on a different note i am very confused how privacy glass is legal and "safe" yet if i put a 15 - 18% film on the windows rearward of the driver that vehicle is defectable for huge safety concerns. also i as a tinter cannot even put a 70% film onto privacy glass to stop peoples children from being burnt by the sun as privacy glass is just a dark glass it has no film that stops harmful rays.
it makes it hard when dealerships charge a lot more for privacy glass then the customer realises it does not protect its purely aesthetics then they come to a tint shop and they have to refuse their right to sun protection cause it would be illegal.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
