Day 3, cannot tahan driving with skytint. Felt as if driving naked. So i removed all skytint and replace with 3m crystalline+scotchshield.

Good
- car much less hot when parked under the sun
- faster to cool down, no need to turn aircon till max
- it is very clear at night
- price cheaper than vkool & llumar
- and btw, if u choose jpj compliant VLT, they will give u guarantee in case JPJ or Police saman you

Not so good
- i use 50% front and 40% for others, it is not that dark though, i was being told, some other brand, given the same VLT, they were darker, i cant brain this 😂
- smart tag is always an issue with 3m
- occasionally when im driving under the hot sun, i can feel some kind of ‘heat’ just beneath the windshield. This ‘heat’ sometimes i can feel on my face which gives me discomfort. But my hands on the steering are not affected. Never experienced this with my other car using vkool. Im not sure how to explain this situation, but maybe because of the ‘dotted’ area at the rear view mirror is not tinted (serve as a spot to use smart tag) so the heat entered through there..
Yup, super agreed. If ure budget only cater for 2.0 dont be so itchy test drive especially 2.2. U will ‘regret’ 😂

Thanks for your review of 3m smile.gif. I'm getting my cx5 next week, and am looking to replace to 3m too. Isn't that we can only use 70% (or 30% rejection) for front, 50% for driver row windows and 30% for the passenger/back?

Legally, you are right 😁

BTW, is it only me or anyone else have problem with water droplets disturbing your reverse camera especially when it is raining?

tongue.gif Well, if it's not too obvious.... seems like something I should do too.
