Hmmm when I contact the totalgard guy Marn he showed exactly the same but the price is different.

I agree on this. 2 cars installed with totalgard tint can feel the heat even thou their IRR & TSER spec looks good on paper.

Can't complain much, their price is competitive and after sales support is good too.

What do u mean good on paper
They show the reading using linshang film transmission reader
Not sure if they can modified the device

It feel heat if park not moving.
If moving my ekon set to 23c is enough on hot sunny day
Before tinted need to set to 20/21c

I think all tints can also feel the heat no matter what. TSER only block certain percentage, the rest will still get thru. Overtime, even a cake can be bake in the car when parked under hot sun for long hours even with the most premium tint.

This is bcoz u compare with exp tint
Proton vs bmw
Have u compare with other cheap tint ads in fb rm99, rm199, rm299, etc
Other exp tint maybe incl security film which isnt incl in tgard so there's addtnl cost too

If vs Coolgard, and the price u mentioned last time, not even convincing even website also unable to show detail, website . Rather heading to rm2k+ brand than taking that, vouch for 3M Crystalline.

For tint, look at spec then verify it on meter. Similar to those who send car for remaps, not using butt dyno.

I am free again, so ciong hei opinion ranting (long post again). Feel free to skip.

My 2 cents for layman (not technical, just casual user) is I roughly evaluate a tint heat performance by putting the back of my hand under the tint in hot sun. How hot is it on the back of my hands. I think most layman do that, no technically accurate at all, really pasar style but.....it worked for most.

Heat will always build up overtime no matter what tint used if park for long hours under hot sun. A good tint slows down the heat penetration thus slows down the heat buildup in the car. A good tints will contribute to heat reduction ON skin while you are in the car with direct noon sunlight shining directly on you. You will feel the heat but you won't feel the painful sting on the skin.

Just an example of how I see a good heat resistance between a good one with a bad one is lets say during the start, the temp is 24 for both tints, after half an hour, a good tint is 28, a bad one 32, 1 hours, a good one 32, a bad 38, 2 hours, a good one 36, bad one cooking at over 40. After 3 hours, both cooking. Of course, the car body also absorb heat and add in the heat. We are just talking about direct heat penetration thru glass that contribute the most heat direct into the car. So if you stay in the car under super hot sun, idling, waiting for half and hour, an hour (did that so many times, wifey go buy stuff), that is where good tints heat resistant effect comes maximum into play, air cond also no need switch so high vs bad or nor no tint. Sunlight no sting on skin, still feel the heat but MUCH lesser vs lousy ones.

So some say not worth to premium ones but for some like me who wants MAXIMUM comfort under hot sun, it is worth it....a bit wasteful tho, I admit the money can be better spend elsewhere but that is how I spend it, no regret on the tints, just regret when I think I can go eat chicken so many times with the money I spend. Some comment, no need good tint, they don't sleep in car....I do...sometimes...hahaha.

That is besides the protection accorded to a good tint UV protection of leather, dashboard, plastic, etc inside the car over the years. I kept my cars for decade or 2, trust me when I say my dashboard still looks very new, practically little to no fading, always parked under hot sun. Also a good tint adds to anti-glare, at least to the Windscreen. Act exactly like the rear view mirror dimmer (some cars have rear view mirror anti-glare) darn cheapo Honda skipped that for most models, so this worked the same except the entire rear Windscreen act like anti-glare dimmer. All these are layman understanding that have no scientific data to backup...but that is how I see it.

Now why I preferred  a good metallized tints over ceramic (might not be correct but that is how I generally understand them, in layman term), metalized sputter tints like VKool Elite and Irispro Elite, Diamond and DX series reflect heat. If using silver sputter like VKool and Irispro DX, it has the best metal heat reflection. Ceramic absorb heat and disperse them. The weakness for ceramic (at least IMO), is ceramic worked great while it is moving, the wind will help disperse the heat, so do aircond but heat still get absorbed (some into the car before air-cond disperse them). Metallized sputter reflect some of them (not all lar, just the basic metallized attribute), so while heat still get thru into the car, when compared with ceramic, much less will get into it in the first place (at least on the same quality comparison, again no hard data, just basic understanding).

That is my own layman understanding (might not be accurate but I believe it is generally like that). Of course improvement of nano ceramic tech will upgrade the heat resistance but so do nano metallized sputter improvement. Good metallized sputter are generally more expensive due to the real metal used but also depends on quality of sputter, metal. There are some cheap metallized sputter but I don't trust those coz in general market, good metallized sputter with high quality material and sputter process (some good sputter used 6 micro layers for each metal sputter layer) will definitely cost more to produced. Some do hike up pricing due to brand names (proven reliability tho) but some like Irispro trying to build their brand names and try to penetrate the market with lower pricing (for metallized sputter pricing lar, still even supposedly lowered, it is still darn premium pricing compared to other branded ceramics).

Of course I can't dispute some expert that are into tints or r&D and tried out many tints like dwRK....hehe...If you asked a mechanic, they will always think not worth to buy new car coz they truly understand and know the in and out of it...Same with sardine canner worker, they will likely never eat canned sardine, ever. Haha...
I am no mechanic, so I buy premium tints that I feel worked super great, maximized comfort on what I can afford, keep life simple, just spend money and eat real shit after..hahaha.

how much for fws ?

sputter or nano ceramic ?

Hey guys, just bought CRV V spec latest model, the honda sales give me a package for tint and coat, can someone tell me if this price are reasonable and if the package is good and worth it?

There's 4 different package for CRV price is rm6600, rm5300, rm4200 and rm3200

or should i seek for other shop? the benefit is they can do it for me before pickup car, so no need to arrange another day, so i am thinking if the price is more and less the same i just let them do it

I am a supporter for VKool except now cannot afford coz too expensive due to this as well.

The true test if my 14 years old proton persona that are still using VKool Elite. That car are ALWAYS parked under hot sun. Although the tints heat resistant has degraded now, it is still working ok enuf (for clear tint) and the dashboards and leather seats are still good.

Unfortunately, no one are buying or interested in TCM cars nowadays since many years ago.
