Buy BMW but cannot afford v-kool whole car? The difference in price is not even in thousands among good brand, I believe

For me, tint is for your own comfort and protection. It is not about how cool your car look. If you spent around 1k and guaranteed for 5 years, why not? Just make sure you will drive your kancil for next 5 years, like me

It is not you cannot afford but I think it is to more whether worth the money you pay for the product. Last time the JPJ rule 70% light transmission for windscreen and the rest 50%. Now effective May 70% front, 50% front right and left, 30% for others. Then those who tinted following previous rule have to redo.

I will also choose the cheaper product if it can perform the same as the branded one

Especially the one based on dye

It is claimed to be using nano ceramic. German some more. However, the website is local including contact. I wonder who manufactures the product. What is the actual brand name because it is for sure not Lavish (by name).

It is sure cheap for ceramic.

The windscreen and windows from manufacturers do not have standard VLT. The glass is not 100%. So, after tint, the VLT cannot be guarantee 70% ... so how to ensure compliance?

So, on each tint film they will have MS266 printed? If not how to know the tint is approved one? If you put sticker, then sticker would be available everywhere

If they want to control that all imported tint will need to pass MS2669 before allowed to get through customs then it will be a failure already. They should have stopped import of brake light that changed to white after few months exposed to sun

It is hard to filter everything at gateway. Therefore, the tint, whether get through or stopped at police/JPJ roadblock will be at the mercy of police or JPJ only through visual judgement, including your luck as it is right now. Even now, many car that is obviously cannot pass the permissible VLT still roaming the road without scare Only when get stopped, they will measure the VLT using measurement device.

Even though at 50%, when you look through the windows the light from external goes through two tinted glasses. Quite dark already and become quite dangerous to law enforcement

Will remove and put new film. I presumed already out of warranty. Anyway, after a year or two, most cheap tint will lose its ability to block heat from the sun

oppp.. if under warranty, they replace the new tint FOC

Even if you use demister, should not cause bubble. I had it once but after more than 5 years. The shop suspect demister but I told them I've never use it... true.

Removing the tint film is easy. They just spray ammonia solution and let it soak for a while and the film will come off easily. Will not damage heater element.

Does not matter what brand. Sometimes it just happened to bubble. Maybe manufacturing defect. installation not properly done, etc.

Mine was V-Kool and it is from authorized shop properly trained by V-Kool. 3M not having problem? I don't think so. Mine bubbled after warranty ... as usual

Even if not bubbled, it may become wavery

Have you ever go to measure its performance if it is still performing as it was new in term of IR, TSER, UV filtering ability? I wonder if this is included under warranty, not just against bubbling, wavering, etc. Even if it lasted more than 10 years, it is still useless. It is just owners' believe and will power that block the heat

Now you got 2 things to get scare:
1) JPJ
2) Visibility especially at night.

This is why I just stick to 50% for back screen. Safety is more important than feeling the heat for me.

Panas sikit tak apa. Jangan bagi govt duit

Any brand that block too much of specific region of IR will have Smart Tag problem, not just 3M

I have had VKool before and using Smart Tag need to go through very slow. I cannot recall what series. Many year ago. Maybe new one no problem anymore.

The problem is many get stuck just because a bit fast and start fuming others at the back. TnG mush faster

Many just to lazy to roll down window and jut the Tag out

Smart Tag if down have an option to go TnG, but RFID can just wait and queue.

RFID has its own problem due to implementation model due to sharing with TnG ans Smart Tag. The trial on closed toll system is not that smooth.

How much is Llumar tint cost now for MyVi and which series?
