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.

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

QUOTE(alexander3133 @ Nov 28 2018, 09:02 AM) i dont need too dark now maybe.. so i'll just go with the allowed VLTthey did say i could go all the way to 30% VLT for all windows, but i dont want. maybe i'll stick to 50% VLT for all 4 passenger windows instead. including the rear This post has been edited by mafioso: Nov 28 2018, 09:04 AM |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 28 2018, 09:11 AM) it does make a difference but u better make sure the VLT complies else you're gonna waste more money reinstalling it QUOTE(2feidei @ Nov 28 2018, 09:12 AM) ask them to demo it out for u lah..... they did demo to memy suggestion, go for the highest spec within your budget, no regret later 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 |

QUOTE(2feidei @ Nov 28 2018, 09:16 AM) 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 BTW, both are non JPJ compliant or JPJ compliant or one yes, one no? Or, u don't care JPJ rule QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 28 2018, 09:17 AM) if stand few second, it won't make any difference 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 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 and for me lah...in terms of tint...workmanship > all 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 |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 28 2018, 09:28 AM) they say JPJ compliance is useless, there is only 2 way to know yea understand that too1. 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 but as long as its not too dark, lesser chance for JPJ to kacau also hmm but im not sure if 30% is way too dark nowadays? or 50% is good enough? whats your VLT? |

QUOTE(Zot @ Nov 28 2018, 09:31 AM) JPJ current rule for VLT is: i plan to do that also!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. 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 QUOTE(2feidei @ Nov 28 2018, 09:32 AM) something liddat lah, but, it look stupid for u to stand there for 30 min to 1-2 hours behind their demo to test as far as i know, once we tint, its already not compliance, but its just as long as not too dark, they also wont really kacau you 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. |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 28 2018, 09:41 AM) 30% is definitely too dark i seestay with JPJ compliance which is always 50% and above and u have to know tint works both way, meaning if its hard to see from the outside to inside you're gonna have trouble looking outside from inside especially at night 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 This post has been edited by mafioso: Nov 28 2018, 09:43 AM |

QUOTE(Zot @ Nov 28 2018, 09:51 AM) 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% oh im talking about the IR, not the VLTas 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 |

QUOTE(iskazulka @ Nov 28 2018, 10:10 AM) can go for irr75% with vlt 50%. won't regret one. eventhough mine tser only 39% but good enough when you compare inside with tint and put your hand outside. QUOTE(Zot @ Nov 28 2018, 10:11 AM) My bad. in that case 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. 75% = 46% TSER 85% = 50% TSER so that 4% worth to upgrade? |

QUOTE(pgsiemkia @ Nov 28 2018, 10:32 AM) oh damn, yes my car is leather seat.so the 4% TSER does help a lot if its leather seats huh? QUOTE(ViktorJ @ Nov 28 2018, 10:36 AM) so recommended to put 70% for windshield?4 windows = 50% rear = 50%? (although can go 30%, but i am just a bit OCD haha) meaning to say, 50% is quite dark already at night? lol QUOTE(jmas @ Nov 28 2018, 10:43 AM) Mine is double layer, still got warranty for the tint i also went to raytech and they told me its JPJ compliance. maybe i should ask them again on the saman thing original is safety tint from manufacturer, just layer tint on top. JPJ compliance, got warranty or not? Mine from Raytech, they give warranty, if JPJ kacau, saman they pay. This post has been edited by mafioso: Nov 28 2018, 10:46 AM |

QUOTE(iskazulka @ Nov 28 2018, 10:47 AM) i know but i wanna tweak it a bit by going either:1. 70% front, 50% all around or 2. 50% for the whole thing (rear/front/sides) will the 50% be way too dark at night to not notice the interior and people sitting inside? or its okay? |

QUOTE(iskazulka @ Nov 28 2018, 10:49 AM) bro, i know JPJ compliance is 70/50/30but what i meant was i dunno if i should go for 70%/50% for 4 windows + rear or 50% for all windows including windshield and rear QUOTE(ViktorJ @ Nov 28 2018, 10:54 AM) If you have rear shades, you may consider not needing to darken the rear windows beyond 50%. so 50% is harder to see huhI run 70/60/60 for 2 of my cars, but the darkest one is 60/30/30, but mainly because the car is black. Does it help too much when you parked in the sun for the whole day? not really lol (and I use reflective shades inside when parked). But does it help when you are DRIVING in the hot sun? hell yeah I've gotten away with the 60/30/30 for years mainly because I just open the sunroof. its a big one, so it lets A LOT of light in. they never bothered to pull me over. my friend's 50% front never kena also, mostly because of luck. however, he has some issues driving in the dark, and far worse if it is raining. in that case i may consider 70% then for front while 50% for every other window as i often (actually everyday) drive through dark alleys at night due to bad lighting system around my housing area. QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 28 2018, 10:55 AM) if that is the case, i'll go for the 75% and save the RM400 haha but that 30 secs was just my opinion, im not really sure on the difference how the 75-85% IR and 46-50% TSER come into play winding down the window for 30 seconds after u get into the car cools the car faster thats why im asking if its worth or not.. its within my budget but if can save, why not This post has been edited by mafioso: Nov 28 2018, 11:03 AM |

QUOTE(Zot @ Nov 28 2018, 10:55 AM) Thanks for asking because it makes me wanted to know also. how much is the top up between the different tint models?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. |

QUOTE(Dineesh @ Nov 28 2018, 11:18 AM) I was also so surveying on tints to replace for my car, then end up say got new guidelines so waiting for that news now i think again..no point waiting because it wont go lower than 30% for sure. lol either they will make it 70% for all (which will affect 95% of tinted car owners) or make it 50% minimum might even increase the rear 30% back to 50% |
