Quoted:

IrisPro Elite - RM3800
3M Crystalline - RM3200

Opinion?

Thanks for your feedback!

SUV, comes factory tinted cap ayam god knows what tint.

IrisPro Elite is expensive, but they do not quote me the price "after discount". It can go down cheaper I suppose. IrisPro Diomond was quoted RM4000.

I really hate all these after before "discount" non published pricing.

As for 3M, it's a full Crystalline from an authorized dealer listed on https://www.3m.com.my/3M/en_MY/automotive-w.../find-a-dealer/

I use RFID all the way. SmartTag is a non issue, just that I do not know where my car GPS antenna is, if that matters.

The amount of time we have to waste on a car is just mind-boggling. And, of course, money! If the amount spent on plastic films is higher than the cost of my recent trekking trip in the Himalayas, I'm starting to question my sanity.

It's just a Proton X90 FS, and the factory tint comes with a 5-year warranty.

I'm somewhat reluctant to re-tint, but I can tell the heat rejection is poor. I also do not like the flawed look, where the rear window is much darker than the front; it doesn't seem seamless.

I had a bad experience with an installer's workmanship on my other car (which I won't name); they pried open my car door panel with a test pen, and I had to live with the scratches.

Oh yeah, FWS is a major culprit.

Thanks for your valuable insights, folks.

The spec as below, worth to re tint?

Since it'll fail Puspakom anyway, what's darkest and "safest" VLT we can go for without getting flagged, 60% FWS?

Im thinking of doing VLT 60% FWS, and 40% for the rest.

Thank you for the detail write up, appreciate it. It'll make me easier to decide.

I do notice that 3M Crystalline has more of brownish hue say than with other tint, or even with their own Ceramic. My other car has a greenish hue which I hate.
