Re: Window Tint, which brand Huper Optik, Vkool, Cool n lite, 3M

bro...I am not into too dark for the rear. I still check blind spot on the left when filtering out so when it is too dark esp at nite, quite dangerous cos can't see properly.

for the sake of doubts and those interested doing window film installation. I will explain my intention why I started this thread and keep asking, but it will be a bit lengthy.

snip

my apology because I don't know how to make this reply shorter.

truth is, after work when i get into my car. my car is park under the sun whole day, i can feel some heat. i get into my car at 7pm!

i dun remember feeling any heat on my previous ride. could it be because my car is black now? better heat absorber? or CNL premier simply not good enuff?

to be fair to them, the heat goes off very quickly after i on my aircon.

imho...i think should be the CNL that sucks.... i never actually believe that car colour actually matters in absorbing heat... is there any research on this

actually, whatever film we stick on the glass, the car will still be hot if parked under the sun for a long period. the diff is how one feels when driving, i.e. whether the arms are hit hard from the sun's rays.

bro gadget, after installing VKOOL, other than cerf of warranty. did they give u anything that says its LTA compliant or something like it?

got cert but think it put there front not LTA compliant, i.e. they need to cover back side

bro, wrt your long post on which to choose, i'd say pay the premium and take vkool. save a few hundred scarly u dont like, then how? tear and upgrade?

i check blind spot too, but i tell u no worries. can see clear clear even when raining cats and dogs. unless u take the Rike Cool that is very dark then i not sure, but if its K37 or VK40, no problem

i agreed with you. Called me silly. I actually snake out yesterday after around 3-4 pm and drove to an open air car park with bright sunshine. I compare by putting my arm on the window without film installed for 5 mins and shift to the one installed for 5 mins too. Rest for ciragrates break, then start with tint 1st then without. Repaet it for 4 times. I can felt the differences. without film I can feel the heat. with i still feel it but much less. this morning as we drove to work, my wife felt it too. Normally when we travel along the causeway bridge, the sun will shine straight from the left and my wife will complaint. today I ask her if she felt tans... she replied, not really.

I think after long finding and asking around, I will go for Vkool if the qoutes given to me still applies, or else I might consider CnL.

As for compliant issues, anaylse between ONEmotoring solar tips and Vkool Eurospec specifications, it should on the safe side.

VKool,
Front X75 is 77% Visible Light Transmission
Front Side J83 is 83% Visible Light Transmission

... LTA compliance standards for tinted films. The resultant light transmittance for the front windscreen and two front passenger windows must be at least 70%.
As for the rear windscreen and the rear passenger windows, they must be at least
25%. Click here for more detailed information.

FYI
K37 36% Visible Light Transmission
VK40 43% Visible Light Transmission
VK70 73% Visible Light Transmission
All the above are for rear application only.

Dezzy, if you prefer not so dark, your choices its clearly on VK70 for the rear.

i suppose the trial film is VK70? if its J83, it will be as tho u did not have any film on...

according to HALIM's staff, he put the X75. cos he said it supposed to be on my front windscreen. Yes,macam like no film. Infact J83 (83% VLT) and VK70 (73% VLT) its very close and similar. VK40 its the darker.

I may snake out later to checked out Huper Optik, found out they had brand at TOH GUAN.

trust me, i had done cars with J83 and VK75 and its NOT similar. if u looking at J83, then i say save the money and dont do anythi. for the rear, if u dont want dark look, then it would be VK70. choose K37/ VK40 only if u want dark look from outside. from inside, view is just as clear

Re: Window Tint, which brand Huper Optik, Vkool, Cool n lite, 3M

Bro Gadget, let me understand u correctly. u're suggesting that I opp for VK75 for all front 3 pieces? Rear VK70 or VK40 if I want it darker. Right?

 

[gadgets]

Re: Window Tint, which brand Huper Optik, Vkool, Cool n lite, 3M

yep! if front windscreen can put VK75, as proposed by vkool's halim (?) in ur earlier posts, then ur car would have not been compliant in any case. so what's there to stop u to add it to the front side 2 windows?

as for the rear, its really up to you cos K37 can do as well. heat rejection wise, K37 is slightly off VK70 while VK40 is slightly better. and since rear air con blowers are avail, this shd not be a point to worry. dark-coloured wise, diff is marginal between both. but price wise, think premium for VK40 is slightly more.

Re: Window Tint, which brand Huper Optik, Vkool, Cool n lite, 3M

acupunch, citibank ready credit got $200 off for Vkool and UOB got 15% off for CNL... After checking both, CNL looks better IMHO.
