I have used 3M and have been very satisfied over many years there is a 3M dealer in Adelaide http://solutions.3m.com.au/wps/portal/3M/en_AU/Window_Film/Solutions/Support/Find_a_Dealer/

If you have not had tinted windows before I would recommend that you don't get the front windows too dark as on a rainy night it reduces visibility, the darkness of the tint does not make any difference to the reduction of heat coming through the window as this is a factor of the metallic film that is contained within the tint film.

When did the law change to allow tinting your front window,as far as i am aware you can have the tinting that comes with the window and that covers the first 125mm approx coming down from the top of the window.

In WA you can have a tint strip across the top of your front window as long as it doesn't come down any further than your sun visors when they are down apparently.

Edit:  Just checked the WA Transport Regs, in WA you can have a strip at the top of the front window but it is not to be lower than the arc of the windscreen wipers also restrictions on level of tint, see;

I had two previous vehicles done by Tint a Car, the tint I used was called Forumula 1, I had no trouble seeing through it winter or summer, perhaps because it was not a very dark one, but just as effective.  I was very happy with both tints and they are guaranteed.

Here is a link for Adelaide only, you would have to type in your postcode to see which store is nearest you, see;

Tint A Car are franchises and their prices can differ, so check a couple to get the best price....

This is some info on the Formula 1 Tint;

The SA transport regs on window tinting, suggest check with RAC Adelaide as well...
