should i just go with the 75%?
Topping up RM400 for that extra 10% from the price they quoted me.
just wanna know if its worth paying for that extra 10% or it does not make a significant difference when it comes to car tint vs our tropical weather.

For just read windscreen at 30% is still ok, but for me I stick with 50% because I like to see what behind me more clearly. I always monitor surrounding from time to time when driving to be alert. If too dark it is bad especially when it rain and at night. |

If u bad luck, if yours is non compliant, they use equipment, failed, then, u need to remove it, go puspakom for them to verify. Or, he say, sorry, no equipment on hand, they issue u notice first, ask u go JPJ office later for them to test, even though if yours is JPJ compliant one. But, so far, in my mani years of driving, only kena once. |
