does that 10% make a big difference under our hot tropical sun? hmm.gif

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.

Even 75% and 85% VLT is way more than the minimum of 70% imposed by JPJ.

i dont need too dark now maybe.. so i'll just go with the allowed VLT

they did say i could go all the way to 30% VLT for all windows, but i dont want. laugh.gif

maybe i'll stick to 50% VLT for all 4 passenger windows instead. including the rear

they did demo to me

showed me both 75% and 85%, although i dont feel that MUCH of a difference when standing next to the demo area (he told me to stand next to each tint to feel the amount of heat passing through.

both also within my budget but im just not sure if its worth paying for that extra 10% or not only hmm.gif

u need to stay longer to feel the effect.......my view is since both within your budget, go for the better one, after all, u already pay so much for your car, what the difference of additional amount.

Pricing, can be further nego one whistling.gif

BTW, both are non JPJ compliant or JPJ compliant or one yes, one no? Or, u don't care JPJ rule laugh.gif

if stand few second, it won't make any difference
but unless the constant sun, it will make a difference
BUT i already say it before, better watch out for your VLT else you're gonna be opening new thread abt how JPJ kacau your car
which will backfire easily laugh.gif

and for me lah...in terms of tint...workmanship > all

You mean put tint film on top of the existing one?

Can but both film will void warranty. The previous one will say, putting another tint on top void warranty. The second one will say, the tint film is suppose to be stick on glass smile.gif

I suggest you replace the old one with new one. smile.gif

true also... because still need to see how it performs in real life situation where we park under the sun for 30 mins to 1-2 hours hmm.gif



they did mention both are jpj compliance

but i can choose to go darker if i want to (at first i wanted 70% front, 30% all around)

so now im thinking 50% all around (safer)

front windshield as long as can still see, JPJ shouldnt kacau too much

since 50% all around can still see whole car interior

they say JPJ compliance is useless, there is only 2 way to know
1. the VLT %
2. shop warranty
the shop that i install at gave me a word that if JPJ stop u, u ask them to saman only...take the saman back to us and we will settle it for u laugh.gif

JPJ current rule for VLT is:
70% front
50% driver and passenger side
30% backseat windows and rear

I'm using 70% front and 50% for the rest. This is still in line with rule. Some people go for rear seat windows 30% but it look weird to mee. Not even between front and rear windows. 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.

something liddat lah, but, it look stupid for u to stand there for 30 min to 1-2 hours behind their demo to test doh.gif

Kenot remember the compliance, but, whether JPJ want to kacau u or not, depends on your luck lah......visual verification is one thing, but, to be certain, they will use the equipment to measure one.

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.

i plan to do that also!

either 70% front and 50% for the rest including rear

or whole thing 50% including front.

just wanna ask.. 50% is good enough to have your interior visible but not wayyyy too visible? including the passengers and driver.

and yes! quite OCD, its just looks so weird seeing front windows at 50% while rear windows is darker at 30%

thats why its either i go 30% for all 4 windows, or 50% for the whole thing laugh.gif
