Hello,
Am getting my MZ2 this coming Saturday (1.5L hatch na blue) from Mazda Alabang......yahoo!!! Pero tulong naman, mga bro.
I still don't have any idea on the tint (platinum brand, which is free as part of the deal). I prefer not too light but not too dark so as not to see hard at night; and I don't like reflective (pangit sa akin yung ala silver or chrome or "salamin" yung labas).
My SA recommends dark magic neutral on the sides/rear, but medium magic neutral on the windshield (full).
I also asked the SA's manager, and he told me the ff: medium dark (not magic) on the sides/rear and light (not magic) on the windshield (full).
I don't know which one to choose since I don't know what they look and how different they are from each other. Which one of the 2 suits my preference? Or is there a better alternative?
Follow the SA's manager. The black medium works and looks good on the sides and back windows, light full front on the windshield. Not sure on the Platinum brand. Reflective tints on the Aurora Blue doesnt look good IMHO. Get 3M sana (yung Color Stable series, black yun)... kung mahal sa dealer, there's always Motortown at ATC where you can canvass. Trade mo nalang yung Platinum na tint na free for a rain visor or something... Up to you though...
Congrats on the car...
HTH
I actually use what your SA recommended (dark magic on the sides, medium magic on the windshield), but my car's black, so reflective tints don't look bad.
As for heat rejection, I believe magic tints reflect radiant heat better than other types of dark tint. The only "cooler" tint than this would be the clear, but pricey V-Kool/Rikecool.
As for the Platinum brand, they're an OEM group who makes tints for other 'branded' manufacturers. So they're okay. It's been 8 months and my tint is still holding up pretty well.![]()

Got my M2 today (1.5L hatch) ...and indeed, what a fun car to drive!
I was smitten during my test drive a month ago, and today, after spending a few hrs driving it, I am totally convinced I made the right choice buying the M2! Very responsive and excellent acceleration.
