Accord 17'

3M
windscreen crystalline 70
all windows and rear windscreen crystalline 40

Quoted 2600 by SA, good price?

Inb4 some complaint that 3M tint is easy to scratch

walao is it true?

Anyone heard/tried hypergard tinted before?

Curious to know in what circumstances you would scratch your tint using abrasive material? I thought 3m crystalline is one of the best in rejecting heat in the market.

So many tints in the market now. So confusing.

Anybody try Lavish Tint? Is it good?

Want to ask .
what is legal % for jpj rules?
also getting axia next week and the salesman offering tinting voucher if i add rm250.
should I just take it or find other outlets in market

jpj compliance film is front windscreen visible light transmission (VLT) min 70%, the front side windows min 50% and 30% for all other windows (rear side windows and rear screen).

Hi bro, you can refer below image for the latest JPJ regulation

Okay thank you.
so 30/50 is darker than 70/80 lets say?
always thought is the other way round
new to this tint stuff as 1st time getting a car

LOL...just think it as one is looking as half glass ful or or half glass empty.

Similarly 70% VLT means light goes thru windows at 70% and 30% is blocked...hence more light, its brighter

got it?


30% VLT means, only 30% light goes thru...70% of the light is blocked, hence the tint is darker.

WHen you go to shop, most of them talk about light goes thru and not VLT...so they will ask, whats the tinting percentage ..so when you say 70%...means its 30%VLT...70% is the darkness

For 3m tint make sure u guys go to the authorise shop.



Been using it for 2yrs plus. Good quality .Just that the left side window has a small linear scratch by my wife lol

In VLT (Visual light transmission) %, the lower % of VLT is darker. So 30/50 is darker than 70/80.

i;m looking for Solar Film for new Nissan Serena - looking for V-Kool for front, and 2nd grade (solar gard?) for the rest.

Please recommend

How much ? Which film / grade ? thank you thank you.😛

There are too many brands out there and I only have experience with V-kool and Huper Optik. If you want the best heat rejection, V-Kool is the best, but the price is also the best.

My old car used to be on V-kool Elite and the performance of the tint was good to excellent. The heat can barely be felt. After I changed to a new car, I chose Huper Optik (currently on my Ford Focus) and the performance cannot match the V-kool although the VLT for all windscreens are lower than the V-kool. In order to match the V-kool, you have to go with a darker shade, but then it would be below JPJ's guidelines.

If you want cheap but good, you have to go with darker shade with lower VLT to match V-kool's performance that will be riskier with regards to JPJ/police regulations.

thank you sportyhandling. really appreciate your feedback. V Kool elite sounds like a good bet but need to find a fair price.....

thanks again...

Just to ask if tinted becomes discolor or faded, can it fall under warranty?

On cheap brand tint, perhaps it used die type tint

Good explanations. I may add on few points

1. V-Kool is metal based film vs Huper is ceramic based film. Therefore you can feel different in terms of the film performance. This because ceramic based film usually have higher absorption rate which lead to the heat build up in the film itself instead of rejecting it.

2. The price of Huper normally cheaper by 10-20% compare to V-Kool film.

Yes, it is product defect.

You can claim the warranty provided it is still under warranty period or the shop still there
