I did my Ecotint in Taipan. So far no complains about the workmanship. Quite satisfy about it. With your budget you could try the Ray Barrier range. 10 years warranty.

-3M might have problem with smart tag
-Vkool elite also good
-But in the i choose eco tint raybarrier...satisfy

might want read this thread also review of vkool

so far... heard many good things about ecotint raybarrier
the reason im still hesitating..
because many feedback points out that vkool is not smart tag frenly
so might hav the same problem wif GPS in future

Yup, V-Kool is not Smart Tag friendly. Have to go extra slow, OR I take it out of the window. So far, for GPS is okie. My GPS can work on V-Kool.

i am using v-kool elite, smart tag can work ar.. even GPS also.

hi andy, u mean some tint will effect the gps?

har... reli 1 ar ?
i was plannin 2 tint my car wit v-kool after cny.. now im retinkin already if it's not user-friendly wit smart tag..
sry ya ts, borrow thread if u dun mind..

if you tint heavily then will affect.

hehe.. is ok la
i bring out this thread to help ppl when they choosing window tint
can let me know the price of vkool elite and ecotint raybarrier?
some1 pls

for V kool u can tint heavy heavy at ur side and back..for front..u ask their advice..they have some selected tint film that can use ur smart tag..

for 3m..smart tag comfirm cannot pass..but quailty assure much more better then V kool..even after sales service..

how about ecotint?

That name sounds like Ice cream mat Kool

Give more preferences to the workmanship of the tinting. Not the tint item itself. Tint item can go so far. I would rather have a master who puts second best or third best brand rather than have noob put best brand

From personal experience, VKool does have some issue with Smart Tag.
Since the "reader" is somewhere at the middle of the Smart Tag lane, you have to directly put your Smart Tag near the rear mirror. Doesn't work if you put on the dashboard. Alternative is holding it out of ur car window.

I'm not sure which category my V-Kool falls under.

Yes, not only GPS, even auto-gate remote also get affected.

Tak mau V-Kool lah. V-Kool sucks lah.
Look here why I said V-Kool sucks.

Use good stuff on the frt and rear windscreens

Use cheap stuff on the sides because the sides are vertical surface

heh. except that the sun rises and sets. unless you plan to drive only at 12pm everyday. or drive heading only east or west....

to TS : go chat with the sales manager at the branch. pretend ask him questions then when he do sales talk, you nego hard hard. if you lucky u can save a few hundred ringgit.
