I found 1 car tinted shop in Penang.

Nano Ceramic Carbon
UVR 99%
IRR 95%
2HD
2 mil thickness
Warranty 5 years
US tinted paper

Can choose VLT from 30%-95%

Whole car tinted RM299
Add RM1 for SunX 8 inch

Do you think it is a good deal? Should I go for it? What else do I need to check and ask?

Such a cheap deal, be careful of it developing bubbles after a few mths.

I got irispro the cheapest rm500 package for emat7. The tint film is good but the workmanship leave much to be desired.

I did try to see if the Sputter thing fit me but it tint yellowish, like your PC screen when you set Night Mode Blue Light reduction thing which I don't prefer.

500 cannot get heat rejection.

1500 possible.

Mine all 500-600. Minor heat rejection but darker.

Still within the JPJ specs.

my 2sen

back in the days, solar film will trap the heat in itself, so when you touch the film, it is hot... you put hand under the film, won't feel the sun, but somehow inside the car got oven feeling

nowadays, solar film technology is super mature, and it's more than just IRR, TSER specs - more important is use few years later it won't have wavy effect

go to shop, ask for house brand, and see if they use it on their own car, and then see got wavy effect or not - look through the windshield, move your head up and down, and see things in distance won't have wavy effect

my personal opinion - don't go brands with branches everywhere
for small sedan, under 500 got many options

Just pray that the shop still exists in 5 years to honour the warranty.
