Is my first car with a sunroof - figured I would spend the extra to get it. And loving it atm! My fiance has an MX5 convertible and find that a bit too much. Sunroof is a enough wind for me.

After a few days of driving the car with tinting and a couple of night trips, no real issues.
Reversing is a bit of a pain - the reversing lights aren't that bright, hence it is a bit dark to see behind you. Really have to trust the reversing sensors, but they don't really help if you are reversing up a driveway and not wanting to fall off the edge.

Thinking I could replace the globe in the rear fog light (I mean seriously, when am I ever going to use that in Perth?) with a white light to give me that extra light.

During the day - no issues. I actually feel it improves safety as it removes glare, making it easier to see.

So highly recommended it to everyone.

The rear fog light makes the tail lights brighter only, you could try brighter bulbs in the reversing lights. In QLD though your lights can't 'dazzle' someone so not sure on how legal it is to do in different states or whether bright reversing lights are classed as 'dazzling'.

Glad to see your happy, like you I trust my sensors when reversing.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a tint place in Sydney?
I don't want dark, or even legal limit tint. Just a (quality) tint to reflect the heat and make the feeble air-con work a bit better.
Cheers.

i hope for your sake they didnt put 20% on.. anything darker that 35% is illegal in WA

does look really good though!

Heya - 35% illegal in WA?? Oops. We have almost the same model, except TDC Sea Grey with sunroof and your right, looks good with dark tint and Sea Grey. Almost the same number plate too - 1CUY. One problem only so far - the boot on the hatch wont open!! What The? Its stuck. Took it in to Midway today where we got it. Will see what the outcome is tomorrow.

As someone who's had a stack of skin cancers taken off, window tint is a must-have. On darker coloured cars, I like the more reflective style tints. I had my last two cars done at Tint Mart Browns Plains in Brisbane. highly recommended.

Here's my focus....
