Ask them the brand of tinting film that are using and specification. Then only you could ask around for the price accordingly to compare. Different tinting film will cost differently. Huge diff in price between the high spec and low spec film.

It could be that the tinting was done thru the SA. Thus, does not necessary to be vkool. My Honda is using RikeCool.

Which ever that can give you better price

Are you using them yourself?
Where can get this done? How much for a small car?

Anyone used Wingard before?

Whatever brand of tinting film, there are 1st grade & 2nd grade. So, will depends on which ones that is used. This what I was told.

Security film will not prevent break-in. Not with a pro. It is more to delay any one from smashing the window and make a quick grab of what ever that is on the car seat, etc.
Even with the few thousand RM alarm system also cannot prevent break-in....

JPJ's rule is 70% VLT for Front & 50% VLT for the rest. So, should be in compliance with their regulation.

I have just installed 60% for front & 40% for side on one of my ride. The shop told me that they will warrant against JPJ summons. It is of another brand. Not 3M.

I am using Huper Optik Sech 60 for front and Ceramic 40 for the side & back. Very effective

This is from my personal experience of using RM700 tint on one car while on the other was using the RM1.5k tint. Can really feel the difference especially under the hot sun in the afternoon. Since you are planning on having tinting on a 100+k car, might as well go for the better tint.
Best that you test them out yourself before you decides. Mind you, once you tinted, it is going to be costly and damaging to remove & replace the tint.

Ceramic 40 on front windscreen or rear?
If front, does HO give the warranty against JPJ summons?

I did C60 for front and C40 for the rest. The shop cover saman.
Luckily I opted for C40 as advise by the shop...

Let's establish on why do you intend to have the tinting? Mostly, the reason is for the heat rejection, etc.
The following parameters are normally used in selecting the tint

VLT = Visible Light Transmission. This indicates amount of light that can penetrate through the tint. The lower, the darker the tint.
(This is also govern by JPJ's regulation)
UVR = Ultra Violet Rejection. Higher is better.
IRR = Infra Red Rejection. Higher is better, but may effect your SmartTag & GPS.
TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected. The higher the better.

So, if your intention is to have a cooler car interior, and budget permits, better to get higher heat rejection tints.
IMHO, heat rejection of 50% is too low for comfort. Should go for at least TSER of 60% and above.

HO's security film only comes in 4mill & 8 mil. And that's only in C50. That's what I know.
Just got one of my car done with Huper Optic Sech 60 for the front and C40 for the rest at around the same price.
Very effective in educing the heat

Added on January 15, 2012, 1:02 pmthe heat rejection is lower. Take note that the figures (%) given by the shops cannot be verified. It just their own figures.
Then there is also the durability against fading, peeling and bubbling. Can be seen commonly on some of the car rear windscreens.

I have personally used few types of tint and can conclude that what you pay is what you get.

Most shops charges to remove old tints. Somewhere between RM150-200 or even more.
If you are not happy with the tint offered, why waste money and later have then taken out?
Especially for the rear windscreen, this process could damage the demister when the tint is removed.

As for the road tax, you could have the road tax disc placed on another clear plastic sheet before it is stuck onto the tinted windscreen. That way when you remove the plastic sheet, the disc follows. This is what the tint shop does for mine.

depends on the shop that you have your tinting done.
Tinting should be done is a dust free environment. They will have an air condition enclosure for this purpose. I have seen some shops where their tinting are done; sharing the same space with other car accessories activities. This is like looking for trouble

Yup. That's why I put C60 for front & C40 for the rest. HO provide the warranty against JPJ summons

2 hours max, if the shops know what he is doing...

JPJ's regulation for car tint.here

VLT 70% for front & VLT 50% for the rest.
