Ahh that makes sense. I'm contemplating between the llumar vs 3m. I used the crysatalline series b4 only problem is the tint color can chip off. Thanks again cybermaster98

Going by that same logic, it would be 'worse' for the Orchid White Pearl rite? U look at the white a million times and its still white. At least the lunar silver is a darker shade so unlike any other silver on the road.  biggrin.gif

But this Civic surely looks better with lighter colors. White and Silver being the best. Darker colors don't enhance the overall design and features well enough in my opinion. But I still wouldn't rate any of the current colors as 'perfect' for the Civic. Each color has something a bit 'off' about it I think.

But I suspect by Dec this year, the Civic is going to be a common sight on the roads. So it wont really matter which color u choose.

For those asking if 1.8 is underpowered. It isn't, and more than sufficient for a normal city drive.

Is the 1.8 seat's cushion harder compared to the leather's seat cushion?

Llumar Gold VLT is 63% TSER is only 43% vs Diamond 6 TSER of 59%. Non JPJ compliant but light enough to not get stopped by JPJ in roadblocks. Generally FWS VLT70-60 should ve quite safe through roadblocks. But sure fail puspakom or JPJ metered test.

For FWS my favourite is Huper Sech60. Beautiful color, Optically super clear, VLT60 TSER 54. Notmally the FWS makes a big difference in terms of heat penetrating into the car. So best to choose high TSER for FWS.

Those that ask this question will be better off with another color. It is not hard to maintain, it's just tedious maintenance. Those white car with the semi transparent black lines all over the car. At first, surely sayang... after 2-3 years, lol, pattern emerges.

I washed the car 2 days after the coating was done. So insufficient time to cure.

Anyway Regal Valet did a good job spotting the missing coating and recoating the car for me.

Getting my civic by this week, but not yet decide what tint to go for. The ecotint 1500 as per spec provided by Honda seem like a very good deal. Anyone have experience with it? Plz share some review. Or anyone with any recommendations on other brand cost around 1.5k to 2k plz pm or message me too biggrin.gif

spent 2 days to finish 122 pages, omg. i booked 1.8 MS 2 weeks ago. but was tempted to change 1.5 tc along the reading include change to white colour. However, the conditional maintenace mileage n oil sludge concern have pulled me back to reality. i think 1.8 still the best choice if i am looking for long term usage n less trouble. Hope to join ur guy soon.

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. biggrin.gif

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.
