Just did a little bit of research...Just to share.
3M CRYSTALLINE 70
Visible Light Transmittance : 70%
Ultra Violet Rejection : 99.9%
Infrared Rejection : 97%
Vs.
V-KOOL ELITE (VLT=73.2% UVR=98% IRR=94%)
And comparing tinting with security feature...
3M ULTRA PRESTIGE S70 (6 MIL)
Visible Light Transmittance : 65%
Ultra Violet Rejection : 99.9%
Infrared Rejection : 97%
vs
V-Kool Impeccable Series
Ray Barrier (VLT=63% UVR=99% IRR=95%)
I'm leaning towards the 3M Ultra Prestige S70 (6mil). Is 65% VLT JPJ-compliant? Thank you Mac.tay for pointing out that 3M actually has the highest IRR and is better with GPS/smart tag. Now it seems like a no-brainier to me. I can give up that marginal heat rejection from V-Kool for all the extras from 3M. Any Reviews or comments? I'm gonna be fetching the missus and the baby during weekends, so the extra security does give me peace of mind. Unless somebody has had/heard bad experience...In that case, please share. Thanks guys.
Next is to consider the LED tail light and RCD510 before moving on to doing Sierra Glow...
