Dear all,

I am getting V kool tint for my honda city. However, I am not too sure whether to choose Elite or Safety film. The price quoted is RM 1750 for Elite and RM1500 for Safety film.

Please advise.

The safety films are usually not as good in terms of heat rejection compared to VKool. I just did VKool Elite for my car, third car with VKool. I personally will avoid safety film, I'm more paranoid of being trapped in a car after an accident. Statistically you're much more likely to get in an accident compared to being hijacked/robbed.

1750 is a great deal... just make sure u r there, to monitor they tint all the glass with Vkool.... smth they will "change"

i was offered a 3M tint roughly RM 1700 but a Honda City SA .

I haven ask him yet is it a protective tint / smart tag friendly -

just want to check with u guys - usually for a 3 M RM 1700 tint - is it protective tint / smart tag friendly ??

wana prevent from kena tipu .. haha

All 3M Crystaline tint range is smart tag friendly and has abit of protective functionality already. meaning to say, if some motorcyclist stop beside your car and tries to break your window with a helmet or bat, he can't break it in 5 seconds or so. but of course if continuosly hitting for long time surely will break.

You can check that the 3M website does state it wont affect device and has some protection.
I'm using CR70 whole car. no problems with smart tag and gps. whole car for my persona cost me rm1800. but they gave me a free MedKlinn car air ionizer which is quite expensive.

1700 is for what range? CR70 or 60 or 50 or 40?

Not sure.. need to check 1st .

so .. 40 is the most exp ??? 70 is the cheapest ???

70 is supposedly the most expensive. but tinting shop person say it will cost the same even if i go for CR50. He says it's just a matter or preference in terms of darkness of the tint.

my new car been tinted by TINTGUARD for free from SA
anyone knows this tinted is good or not?

I just tinted my car with NVIRO. Anyway, when I was driving in the afternoon, I can still feel the heat coming from the side window. Anyone who installed vkool feel the same?

CR70 for whole car at rm1700 is not cheap lo.... i asked sg 3M authorized dealer, they quote me for sgd800...with 40 on winscreen and front windows, while 70 on rear windows and backscreen..........

Anyone heard of MY-tint?
SA promotes this brand for my new car, but not sure how good is it.

Thanks.

why everyone go for vkool? Is it really that good? I always have the impression of vkool being overhyped. Just got famous because they are one of the first brand to start on car tinting.

Anyway, I am intersted in 3M and huper optik. What are the warranty like for these brands?

BTW, I do not want those that is really dark. Just a normal tinting with maximum heat block and works with smarttag. I hate those dark ones. Don't know why JPJ didn't catch these people yet.

My experience is vkool not so good. My city is install with vkool elite too. Smart tag need to put near windscreen so that i can be detected properly, on sunnyday it's till hot. I got GPS, signal is damn weak. My other car is install with Lumar, price very close to vkool. Experience with Lumar is much more better. Just my 2 cents.

lumar? Never heard of it...what made you decided to go for this unknown brand?

it is called as llumar

http://www.llumar.com/en/Default.aspx

is in the market quite long time already last time i saw their advertisement in TV also

but somehow doesn't see much car using this tint.

hey is ecotint and coolair good? anyone tried?

True enough.. cause i think it is too good to be true, maybe the front is elite but not the side , are u going to v kool branch? or acc shop claiming to sell v kool

what about Winguard? anyone here try this?

wingard royale? with 4 mil thickness security tint? how much u have been quoted?

can anyone tell me what color of tinted film suit black color car?
Planning to choose black gold.....nice?

Thanks
