Question to Lord Gitsy:-

Please provide quote for the following:-

1) Raytech Ultra70(front windscreen), V97(side and back windscreens)

2) Ractech Ultra70(front windscreen), Centurion RX-4mil (side windscreens), V97(back windscreen)

Car is Ford Focus.

Also, please confirm that all the tints above are in compliance with JPJ regulations and can be used with Smart Tag and remote control of automatic gates without any problems.

Thanks.

Lord Gitsy - do you have a mobile number?

May I ask which Raytech tint have you used on both your current cars? Raytech Ultra70 and Centurion RX series? I'm looking at these two as they have the best TSER figures and are also JPJ-compliant 50% and 70% VLT for sides and front windscreens respectively.

Hi Furiousangel,

Thanks for the response. May I ask what tint did you use for the front windscreen? Centurion RX for side windscreen is a good choice. But If we want to comply with JPJ regulations, only Raytech Ultra70 is in compliance with VLT70%. Did you use Ultra70 for the front windscreen and Centurion RX for all sides and rear?

I just want to know if Ultra70 is "decent" enough though I understand this is the only choice to ensure compliance with JPJ.

Thanks.

Hi, did you have V97 on your front windscreen? Why didn't you pick the ULtra70 instead?

Also, could you let me know the color of V97 and ULtra70, is it greyish black, blue or green?

Thanks.

For side windscreens and the rear, it is not too dark.

Yes I know. So?

Yes, but in order for the tint to fail the test, the car will need to go to Puspakom for inspection first. For new car buyers, this will not apply unless the driver is stopped by the police or JPJ guys during road blocks or operasi. For tints with 50% VLT, it will not be dark when applied on the side windscreens, so it is unlikely that the police or JPJ guys will stop your car and ask you to go to Puspakom for inspection. Even if caught, some tint shops will cover JPJ for 5 years, so there is no issue as the tint dealer will cover for the owner.

Huper Optik provide JPJ warranty cover up to VLT42% for the side windscreens. In this sense, tints up to VLT42% for the side windscreens are still not considered to be too dark. Only for VLT40% and below it will be risky.

My point is even though the tint of VLT50% or even up to VLT40% will fail Puspakom test, the car may not have a chance to get into the Puspakom testing facility. Only those vehicles with very dark tints of below 40% will have higher risk of getting into Puspakom in the event the police or JPJ guys cannot see your face when looking through the windscreen.
