    Is it as clear as parang wala kang tint?

    Does it really keep the car as cool, if not cooler than super dark tints (3M)?

    Around how much?


    Thanks in advance!

    i hope this site will help you. http://www.v-kool.com/QuickCars.asp. mahal sya, they go for $12-14 per square feet dito sa US. nilagay ko sa front windows ng oto kasi di masyadong halatado. it does its job of keeping the car cool during the summer.

    kung gusto mo ng alternative high-end tint, check out mo rin huper optik.

    how bout rike cool? it's supposed to be as good (or slightly less) as vcool pero cheaper din sya (pero still more expensive than the usual tints).

    Ok talaga V-cool, very clear = good for front. Pero kc mahal, pede na Solar Gard na dark sa sides & rear, halos the same na sa cooling.

    Had V-Kool on my Civic cost me 15k, it really keeps the heat out. On my van, I just use the clear one on the windshield, costs me 6.5K. My thinking is this, I spend a bit more on my tint, but the cooling power is maximized, the aircon unit lasts longer and since the compressor doesn't work as hard, my fuel consumption improves a bit.

    Most of the heat comes from the windshield, so if you have limited budget, install V-Cool in front and cheaper tint elsewhere. ;)

    ang mahal pala nito(V-Kool) ,pero ok din kasi ..
    para hindi lagi mag trabaho ang compressor mo lagi
    mahal din pa service ng aircon

    Lifted this from the Fortuner thread. Hope this helps. And let us know how the tint goes.

    If you guys are interested, just call Solar Gard at 725-5570 and look for Leslie...

    I just went to the WorldBex show at the World Trade Center

    The distributor of V-Kool tints and Solar Gard was there. The V-Kool is available only in transparent shades, meaning its two-way or see-through. The Solar Gard has tints that are one-way, which is available in multiple shades like gold, green, silver, black, etc... Solar Gard also has two-way tints.

    That's another reason why di me V-Kool all around, para may konting privacy. Ehehe.

    Got mine from ESL, shop nila dun sa street going to Wilson kung galing ka ng Shaw.
