Frankly, i think none of these tints passed the JPJ regulations...even the new tint i've just done for my Savvy..also 5x% VLT....but i dunno maybe you can blame Proton if JPJ saman you....after all, this is default tint from Proton....that's why better than doing our own tint....now can write to Star and blame Proton if JPJ ever saman u.

Here's a good read:
http://www.autoworld.com.my/v2/news/nb_det...D=RT.ATC.CAR.NW

See the specs here already failed the 70% VLT requirement....remember, this is tint level only...add to your glass maybe another 8% VLT loss....sure all failed....

I think as long as your tint isn't totally dark (like some cars i saw on the road...these guys don't give a fcuk...), modified with big oversized spoilers, looks like Ah Beng cars...most likely police/JPJ won't kacau u.

Seriously, this 70% VLT i believe, is made for JPJ to cari makan...they should raise the standard to 50%, a more realistic figure and you still can see the people inside. I mean they can always ask people to roll down windows in road block....if people have intention to ram your road blocks (criminals), Zero tint also they'll ram....

Thanks Matrix. Now that make sense. Typical. They come out with the regulations and the public is not aware. Then they used it against us. Another example would be house renovation. It is difficult to find the specification on the do(s) and the don't(s). Then we were slammed with the authority letters.

BTW, I just found out that JPJ actually specified the following:
So for Inspira, the windscreen is a little bit dark while the rest is acceptable. But then as you said, it's from Proton anyway.

The Ecotint is considered a good tint, so it would be wasteful to replace the tint with something else.

Maximise from cool to warm? Means you turn to 30? The sound you heard is the water from the radiator going into the heater unit. Yes, Inspira has a cooling coil and heater unit in the same blower box. When you turn to warmet, the hot water from the radiator is channelled into the heater unit in the blower box to warm up the air, hence the kloosh' water sound... Why you turn to 30 anyway? Its stated in the service manual and I also checked that the water pipes are there as well.

Added on July 5, 2011, 11:27 amHeh heh.. I dunno I so powerful can curse ppl one? Get well soon!

Btw, the ecotint for side windows are 6mil (not mm). Most other security films are only 4mil. Front and back are 2mil as any thicker will hamper/distort visuality. So the existing Ecotint is actually good enough and is worth more than 2K outside. New owners pls dun waste money changing it.


Nice write up DM3... proves that our Inspira FC can be really good if you can tame the beast. And the eco challenge was driven under real conditions with a/c on, no extreme fuel save techniques, etc... Can even win H Insight wor... hahaha..

All inspira tinted is pass by JPJ. reading is 48%. I check with JPJ already & the result OK. can use. dont worry.
but dont put double layer. u will kena 1. save ur money.

Proton bribed JPJ liao...or use the powah of UMNO krony datuk. LOL. Where did u get this 48% info btw? Just curious. And 48% of what? 48% VLT means failed wor...

From his own experience...

Yes, from his own experience... So painful his 2nd layer kena removed but lucky ecotint layer remained undamaged else lagi sakit.

I see...but i still dun understand lor...i thought the specs for the tint there says 6x% VLT???

I also confused with all these ratings... perhaps u can drive to ecotint office and get them to test. Ask them explain then you post here.. I'm sure the info will benefit us all. I can't, mine not ecotint di..

Is 48% the VLT reading (ILLEGAL) or does it mean it just does not allow 48% of light but 52% can pass through (LEGAL)? Applicable for side only. For front VLT should be 70%.
Important to know for whoever is thinking of adding any 2nd layer which would surely break the so-called law.

VLT reading shud be the reverse way.. meaning the lower the percentage the darker it is. According to JPJ is 70% VLT for front and 50% VLT for side and rear.

Either way also failed...48% VLT failed...52% VLT failed...that's why kepala pusing...LOL.

But I thought 50% VLT (for side) is the so-called regulation from JPJ? 70% for front? So 52% for side should pass because it allows 2% more light than the minimum.

Anyway, just like you said, don't touch anything. The disclaimer is always pointing towards Proton.

Added on July 5, 2011, 2:12 pmI found this LYN through google and I like the discussion Inspira owners are having so far. There are quite a lot of useful information around. It would be more convenient if this information is structured properly. Is that being done or is there a sort of index that newcomers can refer to so that they don't repeat the same question again?

Yes, but the windscreen of the Inspira is Ecotint hybrid 6mil or 4 mil....either one also failed the 70% VLT requirement.

I dun think anyone can structure these information properly...this is a forum, not a Document Management System...lol.

Yes, you are accurate. If they simply swap the tyres and rims, then the tyre will be rightly installed still (inside is inside, outside is outside). And yes, only the roll direction will be different.

Again, personally, I prefer my tyres to roll in one direction, to reduce wear and noise.

SHIITTT!!!! my wife just hurt my INSPIRA by hitting a divider.. front bumper is scratched bad and got something lari sikit (from her report to me)... demmm... will have to go back early to diagnose the problem.... T_T....

I'd suppose its safe, as EcoTint have said that if we kena JPJ summons, we simply collect the summons and pass it to them to settle it.

One word of caution, we should all take the original glass VLT properties into consideration when adding tint. Most tints are borderline JPJ approved limits, and adding them to the glass WILL exceed the JPJ ruling. So beware.

Also, as highlighted somewhere else in this FnF threads, Puspakom rulling on tint films are vastly LOWER than JPJ, again be aware.

Sorry to hear that.. why did u let ur wife drive ur "bini"?

Yeah, and these ppl argued with me that there is no way our aircon system have heated water pipes from radiator....

Added on July 5, 2011, 3:38 pmDemmm....!!! So sorry to hear that.... hope nothing major lari, based on experience, if the front bumper kena from the side, usually the bumper area near the wheel arch will lari... hope its minor and that you can "push" it back in...

XCInspire: His wife will meng-amok if she cant touch his "bini".... nanti no approval to get bini no.3 and 4....
