What's the best car tint brand and color?

[Type 100]

In the US, depending on which state you go, they have differing laws regarding permissible tint types and areas of application. California, for instance, outlaws any tint on the windshield.

Other states are either more lenient or more stringent on the visible light transmission - ultra-dark 5% tint, for example, will be okay for some states but illegal for others.

FYI

Just to explain this: The number is actually a measure of light transmission in terms of percent.

So a 3M Black Chrome BC35 tint will have 35% light transmission, and won't be as dark vs. stock tinting. The lower the number, the darker the tint, because lower light transmission means less light goes through.

Staying with the 3M Black Chrome series, BC10 is really dark at 10% light transmission.

On the other side of the spectrum, the "transparent" tints (3M Crystalline, V-Kool Clear, etc) are actually rated at 70% transmission - hence the "70"

FYI/HTH

where can i get good deals for transparent high heat rejection tints?

manyak tint 3m bc10 all around,kaso pag gabi super dilim. muntik na akong makabangga ng tumatawid na nakabisikleta dati using my bro's car w/ bc10.

gamit ko ngayon solargard xg5 sides&back tapos solargard hp supreme16 sa front. ok naman yung privacy. around 5k yung cost. you go for xg20 instead of hp supreme sa front.

xg series may pagkasmoke yung black
hp series medyo glossy yung pagkablack

ako im using solargard.very satisfied with it.super dark magic on the sides and dark magic in front.ok naman visibility pero it would be better if u place medium dark in front if malabo mata.heat rejection is superb!better than sungard or 3m,imho.plus lifetime warranty against fading,cracking,peeling,etc. sulit sya for me!

Sporty here!

I have a SILVER corolla lovelife, and m planning to have it tinted. Based on my reserch from testimonials Solar Gard is better than 3M. I would like to ask an advise, will it be ok if I use dark sa sides then medium dark sa front and rear? kita pa ba kami sa loob? how about visibility sa windshield? how about sa sides? need pbang maglagay ng bilog na no Tint?

IMHO, for safety reasons (both for you and the drivers around you), your eyesight should dictate the shade of your car's tint.

Generally, advisable talaga na lighter yung shade sa front and rear, pero minsan kasi sa sobrang dark ng tint sa sides, wala ka na ring makita sa side mirrors. Delikado yun. Pangit namang tingnan pag magbubutas ka pa sa tint para lang malinaw yung view sa side mirrors.

Better to err on the side of caution. Mas okay na lighter sa preferred shade mo pero malinaw yung view mo kaysa darker sa kaya ng mata mo. Dami na akong nababalitaang naaaksidente dahil sa sobrang dilim ng tint. Minsan sa pag-park lang hirap na yung iba, what more pag malakas ang ulan, etc.
