anyone can help me?
i thinking of installing car tint
http://www.everyday.com.my/coupons/jb/wcool.htm
so i went to buy this coupon.

but after reading several threads in LYN, i cannot understand the vendor, he has black 50%,  35%, 25%, 5%..
so far, you guys had been saying front driver sidescreen minimum 70VLT, behind side screen 50VLT.
so what should i tell the vendor.. front 25%? back 50%?
is it too dark and too tinted?

Just tell the shop you want 70% for front windscreen, 50% for side and back windows.. Ngam ngam pass smile.gif

thanks.. but i am still confused.
in the package he is giving 5 windows, so i think its 4 side windows and maybe at the back window.
so i should ask 50% for side windows?
i reckon when he said black 50% or 35% or 25% or 5%..
does he meant 50% VLT, 65% VLT, 75% VLT, 95 VLT?

another burning question;
in singapore, alot of cars have a lighter tone for front-side window, and darker tone for backpassenger-side window.. can it apply in malaysia too?

yup, 5 windows is for side windows + back window.
i saw he stated there you can opt for 50%, 35%, 25%, or 5%. so you just choose one of these.
50% means 50% VLT, 35% means 35% VLT (which is darker), 25% means 25% VLT (which is even darker), and 5% means 5% VLT (which is the darkest among the 4).

for your burning question: a lot of cars in msia are doing the same way too. Just that I'm not sure whether JPJ will kacau you or not. Just do the same tone for all your windows which is 50% VLT. Other than 50%, all the percentage mentioned above are illegal since it's darker than allowed % of VLT smile.gif

Hi guy out here. My car come with free Vkool Elite but its way too clear and feel unable to open my eyes while driving at noon time. So, i decided to add another layer of black tint. The tint shop keep told me that tat is actually not a dark tint. But holy shit, after done 2 layer of tint form together, It is really dark! Somehow did affect a bit during night. I guess i wanna peel off the front windscreen and redo the tinted... Bloody hell kena tint shop tipu...

so you wanna tear it off? well, if you are tearing then you gonna tear both layers of film.. it's kinda impossible to tear just one layer without damaging the other layer. If you are okay with side windows, just tear the windscreen tint and go any tint shop to re-tint the windscreen. If you are not okay with side windows, I think you might just have to tear everything off and redo your tint as I felt your current % of VLT does not pass JPJ too. I guess the shop didn't tipu you, it's becoz any 2 layers of "not dark" tint being together, they would be "very dark" tint. Go for high % of VLT film for second layer.

oh ok now i understand. your explanation very clear. thanks bro!
so i guess the good deal is not that good, since the vendor giving only 50%.hehee

nope.. you have to see whether it gives high rejection of infrared (IR) or not~ VLT doesn't affect the price usually.
The higher the % rejection of IR, the higher the price. VLT 50%, but if IR is low (I have checked your link, they didn't state whether how high % is the IR rejection), you will still feel hot with that film.. IR above 70% or 80% would be good as it rejects large amount of heat, but however, if will cause disturbance to GPS and Smart Tag users.

thx bro.
does side tinting affect my garmin? since i am not tinting the front windscreen. hmm.gif

maybe it affects, maybe it won't. This is very subjective until you try it out. lol. laugh.gif I was a RF engineer trainee (a job of telecommunication field), I've learned that the signal strength of a device varies when you put the device on the dashboard facing upward and facing downward. Just put your garmin near to the windscreen will do~
