You can try and tell us whether it's true or false.

Yes, very good tint around RM2000, though the cost price of these tint is actually around RM500. Profit is RM1500, yes it's huge but that is needed to pay the workers, the rent of the shophouse, electricity etc.

And for RM250 peanuts for tint, I guess it's only worth like cardboard paper, say RM25 worth of tint paper?

Looks cacat. But a lot of MPVs do have very dark tints for the back seats and lighter tints for the front seats which looked awkward.

There has been mixed reception of 0% VLT tint this morning in the news. For me it is not good to have 0% visibility, hence I am in the camp which cites safety concerns with 0% tint for the rear side and rear windscreens. Personally I don't think it will be a big difference between 0% and 20 to 30% VLT tint in terms of heat reduction. Good tints with good heat rejection properties up to 30% if not 20% VLT are good enough.

Case in point, a 0% VLT cheap tint which is basically a black-coloured tint with negligible heat rejection properties will have worse performance than a 30% VLT quality tint. In other words, a road user may just opt for a cheap black-coloured tint without any heat rejection properties and stick it on the windscreen with minimal or zero heat rejection properties.

If the new ruling comes into effect with police and/or JPJ carrying out frequent road blocks to check the car's tint, I suspect many will be penalized for having the front windscreen less than 70% VLT and side windscreens less than 50% VLT.

It is difficult to determine the VLT of the windscreen by the naked eye. I presume you can test the VLT of the tint by using a VLT handheld meter where JPJ officers use to check the tint at road blocks. Perhaps the Raytech outlet has the device and can check the VLT for you?

Having said the above, I have had a look at the photo of your vehicle that you posted. My guess is it is in the range of 35% to 40% VLT. Although the VLT may not be 30%, it likely is still below 40% as my vehicle with VLT40% tint looks to be slightly lighter in shade than yours, not as dark.

The blue coloured Kelisa parked at the opposite side of the road (WML 3933?) looked like it has VLT 10% to 20% for all the windscreens, including the front windscreen. The red coloured Kenari also seems to have a dark tint all-round.

Due to low enforcement, it's not a surprise to see vehicles with dark tints for the front and side (front) front windscreens. Although the permissible VLT is 75% and 50% for the front and side front respectively, I have seen some windscreens on some vehicles that look so dark, it looked like VLT 0% for the sides.

For the front windscreen, visibility is important for safety and yet there are some vehicles with very dark tints installed on the front. The permissible is 75% and the tint on these vehicles looked like VLT 30% or 20% if not 10%. It's really unbelievable.
