QUOTE(pokie182 @ Nov 28 2018, 09:10 AM) If my car already have tint, can I send shop to make it more darker or have to do new tint 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 I suggest you replace the old one with new one.

QUOTE(mafioso @ Nov 28 2018, 09:22 AM) 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  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 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.

QUOTE(mafioso @ Nov 28 2018, 09:42 AM) i see then i think its better to be 50% all around. because sometimes blind spots occur around our passenger seat windows too  or some idiot car/bike might be sticking too close to us on the left side and we cant see them (day time) but anyway.. whats you IR amount? i still dunno if i wanna go for 75% or use 85% although its still within budget. LOL if not worth at least i wont be paying 400 extra. 400 can use for other things  Why want to use 75% or even more VLT 85% if JPJ allows down to 70%. It will be hotter. The TSER for 70% VLT for good one is probably range in 50~60%

QUOTE(mafioso @ Nov 28 2018, 10:00 AM) oh im talking about the IR, not the VLT as VLT, i can choose if i want it to be JPJ compliance (at least) or if i wanna go darker on my own is also ok. now im just now sure if its worth paying for that extra 10% in question of our tropical weather if lets say i pay 400 more just so that 10% can help cool my car down 30 seconds faster.. then i dont feel its worth it lol. but if that 10% does impact a lot then i can consider the upgrade package  My bad. Look at it this way. It is not about whether it can cool faster or not but different point of view. The sun is continuously shining on the car along the way. With more heat rejection, the aircon will kick in less often compare to the one with less heat rejection, thus reduce fuel consumption Anyway, the IRR is not everything on heat rejection. The TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection) is the specification you want to look for if provided. The IRR can be more than 70% but TSER is only 45% for example. Go for highest TSER within budget.

QUOTE(mafioso @ Nov 28 2018, 10:13 AM) in that case 75% = 46% TSER 85% = 50% TSER so that 4% worth to upgrade?  for Rm400 ahahaha Worth as long as you feel good about it.

QUOTE(mafioso @ Nov 28 2018, 10:30 AM) so the 4% does make a big difference when it comes to TSER?  Thanks for asking because it makes me wanted to know also.  Here is what I found out. I take an example from 3M Crystaline series. Here is the data: CR70 TSER=50% IRR=97% UVR=99% Glare Reduction=22% CR60 TSER=53% IRR=97% UVR=99% Glare Reduction=32% CR50 TSER=56% IRR=97% UVR=99% Glare Reduction=44% CR40 TSER=60% IRR=97% UVR=99% Glare Reduction=55% CR20 TSER=62% IRR=97% UVR=99% Glare Reduction=77% Maybe it will not answer to your satisfaction but ut seems to me even the small percentage is probably significant. See how the IRR and UVR number did not change at all. Looks like it is not easy to gain the TSER but do you think the CR70 vs CR50 will not have significant heat reduction? The TSER difference is only 6%. With CR40 it is only 10%. I guess it might be significant and something you can sense in real world. Just my opinion.
