unlucky mate, that by chance didn't happen this morning on the freeway?

what % are the tint?

ive got a silencer for an xforce canon if you need it

front window tint is a no no. You can try your luck. If the exhaust isn't that loud you may want the pits to test it, or put a silencer in the tip. Coilovers aren't an issue, just ensure the ride height is oem.

35% light transmission UNLESS has ADR approved privacy glass.

NOTE - OEM installed privacy glass.

Front window, you mean side glass not windscreen ? You can't tint front windscreen except the top 10% of the screen as a band.

Vehicle Safety Branch Information Bulletin IB-119A

Window Tinting
It is important that the driver of the motor vehicle has the clearest possible view of the road, particularly in poor lighting conditions, at dusk, at night, or whilst driving in heavy rain.

Also of importance is the need for pedestrians or other motorists to be able to make eye contact with the driver at intersections.

In recognition of these concerns the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 2002 restricts the level of tinting that may be applied to vehicle glazing.

Up until October 2004 most vehicles were restricted to using a tint where the overall transmittance was no more than 35% visible light transmission* (VLT). This policy has been relaxed in WA and a vehicle owner considering applying a tinted membrane to existing glazing may now use the following guidelines.

* Visible light transmission (VLT) is the measure of the amount of light that passes through a window. 35% VLT means 35% of the available light passes through both the window and the tint membrane together, and the rest of the light is blocked.

Tinted films are not allowed on the main part of the windscreen. A tinted band across the top of the windscreen is permitted providing it is above the portion of the windscreen swept by the wipers and it does not intrude into the primary vision area of the windscreen. The band area must not be more than 10% of the windscreen area unless the Vehicle Safety Branch has provided written permission.

Window tinting is allowed on side and rear windows, however the vehicle tint industry and road safety experts agree that tint darker than 35% visible light transmission (VLT) is undesirable for passenger type vehicles.

Generally if you have a passenger vehicle that has a tint applied which results in less than 35% VLT you will be breaking the law. You may be subject to receiving a compliance notice or an immediate fine for contravening the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations
2002.

Tinted film must not be reflective or mirror like as it can dazzle other drivers by reflecting sunlight or headlight beams. The Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 limit the reflectance of window tint film to 10%. Again, you may be subject to receiving a compliance notice or an immediate fine for contravening the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 2002.

Just make sure you have 100mm clearance from the lowest part of the car to the ground.
And also if you have a pod filter make sure its secured down as well.

I got a yellow 2 weeks ago and they gave me 10 days to get it over the pits. Wonder why you only have 5?

Yeah sorry front windscreen... And was not too sure about grade % but its pretty dark

as already mentioned the windscreen is only allowed to be tinted a thin sun-strip across the top.

Sways, ALK, braces etc... are all fine

exhaust is your call, sounds like smerm has a silencer to suit your exhaust system if you need it

Good Luck!!!

the time is at the discretion of the officer, i once had a friend who got yellowed the day before a 4 day long weekend, and was allowed 5 days to rectify the problems...impossible...generally it's two weeks but i know a few people that just assumed it was two weeks and got caught out as a result.

Didn't happen to put the sticker on sideways as well? In the old days the "angle" of the sticker was a code to the pit inspector on how hard to be. If you got one completely sideways you knew you were going to get hammered.
