Do u guys think which is the best guide choosing the tint? IRR or TSER. Most of the local tint shop only talk about IRR, instead of TSER, which i think should be more comprehensive value in heat rejection.

Higher IRR = less heat you feel. TSER is calculated based on VLT, IRR n something else cannot remember. A darker tint, lower vlt will hv higher TSER compared to one with higher vlt - even IRR is the same. A car's cabin parked under hot sun will heat up slower with film of high TSER. Just my interpretation of thse values.

I've basically searched around Ipoh comparing tint prices.The most reasonable quotation was from Otobacs for Hyper Optiks, Sech 60 fws, C40s 6mils sides and c40 for rear for 2.2k. Yes Auto, the second HO dealer in ipoh quoted me for 2.5k.

However I've read some negative reviews about Otobacs tinting skills on other message boards. Just a heads up.

Ive been using Llumar Diamond 6 high grade security tint on my F10 LCI since Dec 2015. Now just installed my wife's Civic for RM2,800 at Regal Valet, Jalan Damansara near TTDI, KL.

VLT - 63%
TSER - 59%
IRR - 97%
Break strength - 181Ib/inch
Thickness - 6mil (150micron)
Warranty - 10 yrs
Color - greenish

Its JPJ compliant and no issue with SmartTags unlike 3M tints.

The best tints are those with high VLT and high IRR. In our climate we need IRR min 95% if not it will still be warm inside.

Also if ure choosing security tints, the break strength is very important. Not so much the thickness. Some tints have same 6mil thickness but their break strength is low.

And don't forget there are many tint applicators who buy the tints separately and provide you with shop warranty. Always insist on full manufacturer warranties e.g warranty card must be from the official manufacturer not the shop it self.

You need to compare:

1) Brand
2) Price
3) IRR
4) VLT
5) TSER
6) Break strength (for security tints)
7) Warranty terms (manufacturer or shop warranty)
8) Warranty duration

how about comparing Llumar Diamond 6 with others like v-kool or ray tech?

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.

agreed, both colors crystal white pearl and lunar silver like "zhang ti ti"... seem like duno missing what....

Not sure what ure refering to but when your headlights are on, the DRL gets toned down. That's why its brighter in the daytime with the headlights off.

Anyway, I think Honda should have done a better job with the DRL's. It does not stand out enough. I saw a Civic oncoming this morning and the DRL's were really just small dots. Honda should have made the bar under the headlights equally bright as the side panels so you get a L shape of bright DRL's instead of the current (side bright, under dim).

Was actually wondering if there's a difference in brightness between the 1.8 1.5tc vs TCP ( in terms of the DRL of cuz)

Also. Will changing my TC bulbs to HID void warranty?
