Wow thanks. I just emailed them to see if they'll be open Monday next week.

I'm on a budget coz I have an ICE project coming up. Frankly, I don't really care about brand since they all seem to crap out after 5-6 years anyway. And I'm not prepared to shell out over RM1000 for high end tints that are purported to last forever.

I called, they quoted me an extra RM100 because my ride is an SUV and another RM80 to remove the old tint. Sunroof will be another extra depending on their measurement.

I'm going Tuesday next week at noon.

OK so I went to VNESS tintshop yesterday in Sect 15 Shah Alam for the Hamel tint promo. Here are the results:

1) They tried to upsell me the Hamel III package. I refused.
2) Hamel II RM559 package ended up costing me an extra RM150 to tint the std size sunroof + RM80 to remove the old tint. Add in GST, I ended up some RM940 poorer. On a hindsight, should have rejected that sunroof quote...
3) They called me an hour later saying they couldn't remove the old tint from my rear window without destroying the rear window de-mister element. I had no choice but to let them destroy it.
4) When I collected the car, they didn't tell me about the rearview mirror they broke too. I called them later and raised hell, then he agreed to let me buy a replacement and give them the receipt for a refund.

Broken rearview mirror.

Hamel II promo says 50% VLT. Does this look like 50% VLT to you? And it looks to me like the front windshield has the same tint as the side windows too, and this results in an annoyingly hazy view for the driver whenever direct sunlight hits it. WTF man...

Money gone edy, no point crying over spilled milk.

The most I can do I share my experience regarding this Hamel crap at Vness tint shop.

I guess I will need to look for a cheap plain light black tint to add on to the rear glass after the Hamel tint fully cures.

50% VLT my brown arse...
