About Mohammad
Mohammad Habboushi founded Tinting Xperts in 2016 with one bay, one squeegee and a rule the team still works to: if it isn't right, it doesn't leave. The business has grown to two workshops, at Revesby and Condell Park, and a team of more than 30 fitters, and Mohammad still fits cars on the floor most days.

How the guides are made
What you can check on every guide
The standards each guide is written and reviewed to.
01
A source for every figure
Percentages, timeframes and limits are cited to the film maker, regulator or study they come from, and listed in full at the end of each guide.
02
NSW law from the regulator
Tint limits come from Transport for NSW's own fact sheet, and the guides say where another state's rules differ.
03
No prices to go stale
What a job costs depends on the car, so the guides explain what drives the price and we quote in writing instead.
04
Dated, and kept current
Every guide shows when it was last updated and who reviewed it. When a product or a rule changes, the guide changes with it.
