Sorry if I am out of topic. I am looking for tinting, not gonna do it so soon as I still need to save up in order to do the actual tinting.
But from searching through forums, and reading from the websites, I came a cross with some conclucsions and questions.

1. 3M tint.
    - VLT of 68% at best. Will not pass JPJ rules as required is 70%. Normail car already has 5% making it VLT of 63%.
    - Is not smart tag friendly. Has a work around by cutting a hole in the tint. (not something I want to do)
    - Slightly pricey.
    - Will tend to shrink over time. Is this true?
    - the main distributor is e-tint?
I'm an owner of a car tinted fully with CR 70. Let me try to help your question on 3M
Yes, the VLT is 68% at best and yes again, the normal car already has +- VLT 5%.
But if you check all the brands, rike cool, v kool, air cool, eco tint etc, none of it has above 70% VLT. 68% is the best you can find. Even if stopped by police or fail puspakom check, you can always bring the saman etc for warranty claim so no worries.

Smart tag has no problem for me so far. Just need to slow down while passing the lane. So no need to cut hole.
Understand the very old smart tag device will have problem though.

Pricey, but to me worth it. Can really feel the difference. even my colleagues sat my car says good.

About shrinking, i also asked before but the person said that for the old Crystaline. New ones like the CR70 dont have this issue. Not sure how true though.

Hope these helps.
