QUOTE(momo-sang @ Jan 19 2015, 01:07 PM) Hi Bro, yeah......once enough, scare already. but i didn't really go there for 1yr, and never notice that they closed down already. Ahhh.......my tint warranty gone case already since they tell me that I can only go back to that shop for warranty. Never provide me any warranty card at all. Anyhow, I learned a lesson here, hope everyone aware of unethical tinted shop. Do you have the receipt and Smart Window warranty application form ? Can contact HQ if you have this

QUOTE(jericho @ Jan 22 2015, 08:00 AM) Anyone heard of Huper Optik ACHT? It's the same Select series as SECH but with higher VLT=77% and TSER=46%. Seems pretty good choice for FWS without needing to worry about JPJ once and for all. [attachmentid=4311463] Malaysia not carry in Acht series bro

QUOTE(jericho @ Jan 22 2015, 01:48 PM) I know the Malaysia HO website did not list ACHT but since Breyton is listed as the official dealer so i guess it shouldn't be fake. Maybe it's still new, but just checking if anyone else has the chance to tint this in their car IF 77% VLT can offset the VLT reduction of the original FWS, then shoulnt have any issue with JPJ. I would rather comply with JPJ rather than get the saman and claim back from tint shop. And 46% TSER is pretty decent for a relatively clear tint. Sorry bro.... HO Malaysia new carry in film is Hüper Shield 6 Mil. No Acht 75 in Malaysia yet... You can contact HQ for more info

QUOTE(thteong82 @ Jan 30 2015, 12:11 PM) For the ACHT 75 tint film, some dealer might be imported it from Singapore directly since Malaysia distributor didn't sell it. I already make calls to both Malaysia and Singapore office of Huper Optik. But still, there is a risk of the ACHT 75 is fake. I ask few shops in Penang and Butterworth, they do carry ACHT75.  Better don't take the risk.... You can't go to Smart Window for claim if anything wrong because this is not official warranty film and you don't know it's original or fake

QUOTE(amersudin @ Feb 9 2015, 02:25 PM) Hi Guys, This is a great thread and been following it the past 1 year. Now I got my own car and thinking of putting a tint on it. Im looking more into the security film rather than solar film since mostly it will be my wife driving it and she park indoor. If both, should be better. So far what I've read, you guys are recommending vkool, 3M and HO. What is the price range for all these brand? Any other brand I should consider? My car is BMW 118i and of course, I want it to be JPJ compliant (70%, 50%, 30%). Any reseller/dealer inside this thread can PM me. My location is in Mont Kiara and Shah Alam. Thanks people =) You can PM me for more HO info

QUOTE(jericho @ Feb 24 2015, 06:06 PM) How to check if the tinted Huper Optik is original? Have not received the warranty card yet, anyway to check it on my windows? You will receive warranty application form on the spot. Smart window will send the original warranty card to you within 4-8 weeks

QUOTE(jericho @ Feb 25 2015, 10:16 AM) i got the receipt but the shop said will file the application for me. So i guess will call them up after 8 weeks. Just thought there is a method to eyeball check on the tint itself. I remember i called Smart Window before and the person mentioned something about rainbow effect to check for authenticity. Any idea what is that? It's hard bro if you not in Tint field

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Mar 17 2015, 10:17 PM) If you want legal it has to be 90% VLT tint for the front. Max allowed front is VLT 70%. Most cars front windscreen is already at 80 to 90% VLT without any tinting. Putting on 70% on front will bring it lower than the allowed 70%. If you go to good installers they will tell you this. The ones who want to rip you off will keep quiet hoping that you won't realise. There is also no such thing as JPJ approved as JPJ does not and never approve products. They approve individual cars that is brought in for inspection and approval is only given to that car. That makes every VLT 70% tint out there non JPJ compliance for the front and you install at your own risk.

QUOTE(jeffbong @ Apr 28 2015, 02:00 PM) Yeah bro...now 4 brands Raytech, Llumar,Huper and VKool all under same parent company...lolz all under Eastman... yeah different factory is doing it (eventho same parent) but im just saying these brands are reputable cos all from Eastman...wont go wrong... at least if these brands post the TSER,IRR, the security tensile strength and etc stats in the website, it would be trustworthy rather than other "home brand" can simply write TSER 75% and IRR 99% Did you mean Vkool, Lumar, Huper and Raytech selling same film ? "all from" & "wont go wrong" This words will miss leading ppl bro Different factory, different technology and different materiel... This post has been edited by shaguarbb: Apr 28 2015, 02:26 PM
