The Honda ecotint raybarrier 4 is not up to par with those rm2k+ llumar and vcool. I suspect theres a reason ecotint left out the IRR reading in the specs.
The low IRR means surface like leather and dashboard feels like oven. I got it for free in exchange of the rm1k discount and kinda regretting it.
The only way I cope with it is sunshade. I'm also waiting for the fit to form sun screen.
Yes agreed. The Honda Ecotint is surely not high quality. I too suspect the IRR reading is low which is why Honda left it out. My friend installed it on her City. She parks the car in the sun and on hot days when she returns can almost cook eggs inside.
Im using Llumar Diamond 6 with 97% IRR but on very hot days, I can still feel the heat because the windscreen uses Llumar Gold with only 93% IRR. So I can imagine how a tint with even lower IRR must feel.
We have to keep in mind that any tint <2K will not have high IRR readings. Plus if its security tint, the break strength will be low too. If you get a low IRR tint and we get more of that super hot weather we had back in April/May, ure gonna regret big time. I think its worth spending 1K more and getting a better tint for long term durability and peace of mind.
