help! Jazz 1.3 AT or Swift AT?

[Type 100]

OT: my agent suggested to get medium black tint on the windows and light black sa windshield. Too dark ba? Ok lang ba yung rear windshield light black din or panget na iba iba shade ng tint? pls advise.

Thanks!

Hindi naman panget. In Japan, most cars have pretty dark tint for the rear windows and windshield, but have much lighter tinting up front. Many states in the US have strict legislation on front tint as well so people tend to use the really dark stuff at the back like the Japanese do.

My only issue with tint is it makes driving at night tougher. You'll want to keep the front windows and windshield relatively clear.

If you drive on the highway at night, not even light tint will cut it. For best safety, no tint on the windshield, with medium tint on the upper 1/3rd as a sunshade, light tint on the front windows, dark tint on the rear windows, and medium on the rear windshield. You can use dark on the rear windshield if you're good at backing up, or go lighter if not.

Sure, it's cooler inside the car if you have tint on the front windshield, since it's the biggest single piece of glass on the car, but the sacrifice in safety is not worth the convenience.

mas ok ung rear and front - light
lahat ng gilid - medium

hndi naman mahahalata yan pag nakakabit na, mahirap ung lahat medium, mahirap gamitin sa gabi

If you put mediums on the front windows, you have to be sure to have a cut-out for the side mirrors, as it can be quite difficult to park at night looking through tinted glass. And there are occassions when you don't want to roll down your windows to park.

Nag-OT si TS eh, sinagot lang namin

Niky,
Ayan napulis na tayo, back to topic na daw. Hehehe

Sorry naman for that guys. I didn't mean for the last pages of this thread to veer away from the topic (well it already has since initially I was torn between 1.3 Jazz and Swift only, hehe ) I thought of not starting a new thread since it's just a petty concern.

As usual, thank you to everyone who provided their input.

* Niky - you're right, there will be places wherein rolling down your windows to park is not advisable. Wouldn't it look tacky if I ask for a cut out so I can see the side mirrors?

* Projector - thanks for the suggestion. I will probably go that way. Light black front and rear windshields. medium black on all 4 windows.

Thanks again!

If the tint is really dark, yeah, it'll be obvious... which is why I suggest light black tint for the front windows.

Light fronts medium rears is what we have on our cars (but silver, not black... )
