    Hello!

    Our previous car had 3M (FX-ST) 20 all over and 35 on the windshield. No problem driving at night, kaso mainit during the day and less privacy.
    So when we got our new Honda Jazz, we went one step darker with a 5/20 combination (20 front, and 5 for the rest). Nice looks since bagay super dark sa white Jazz and ok heat rejection during the day. But hirap sobra sa gabi specially at dark streets. If only 3M had a variant in between 20 and 5, ok sana hehe.

    Anyway, for safety reasons I'm planning to replace the tint sa front passenger windows (including the small one near the side mirror) from FX5 to FX20. I want to retain the super dark tint sa rear passenger and hatch since I want privacy for our trunk (since walang cover). Also, sayang din yung tint hehehe.

    Since I'm using the same 3M series (FX Standard yata yun) do you think ok lang looks nung car? I'm not eyeing a VIP tint look kasi, i prefer yung medyo uniform. Anyone tried this combination?

    For those not familiar, I believe 5=superdark, 20=medium dark, 35=light/neutral

    Thanks!

    Suggestion ko Sir try nyo muna palitan yung windshield from FX20 to FX35, changing the tint of the windshield will surely lighten the shade of your windows. Pero kung ako lang, ang ilalagay ko sa windshield Vkool OEM 35 instead of the 3M FX35, the heat rejection of Vkool is way better than 3M.

    Mahirap talaga yung FX sa gabi kahit sa small car namin FX20 with BC10 front winshield medyo mahirap din pero nasanay din ako dun pero dun sa CS sa van namin kahit dad ko kayang kaya niya idrive yung all CS5 with CS20 sa winshield.
    Ang iniisip ko noon baka dahil dyed yung FX compared sa CS na hindi dyed.
    Maganda din ang vkool sir.
    Kaya pag kumupas yung 3M FX sa small car namin papalitan ko ng CS na rin or kapag nainis na ako.hahaha..

    Ah talaga? Alam ko malaki difference in terms of heat rejection pero didn't know malaki din difference in terms night time driving. magkano pag CS?

    I might consider replacing tint of all windows nalang and use color stable since FX may fade din soon

    For a passenger car 5,500 ang alam kong price ng CS kapag FX ST 4,500. Meron akong nakita 4,800 na CS sa makati kaso hindi ko sure kung CS talaga ang meron sila at kung magaling magkabit dun.Natatakot ako baka maulit yung experience ko sa motortown na madaming bula at angat sa tint.
    Yung downside pa ng FX ST from black tint pag tumagal nagiging purple yan at 3 years lang warranty ng FX.
    Ang CS 5 years warranty yun. Ang sinabi sa akin ng 3M mismo ay yung logo na 3M sa CS ay mas maliit compared sa FX ST at BC..
    Advice ko sir dun ka magpakabit ng tint sa magaling na tint installer para hindi masayang yung pera niyo sir..
    Nagbabasa basa lang din ako kung saan yung matinong shop na pwede magpatint at magaling yung tao sa pagkabit ng tint.
    From casa ba yang FX ST niyo sir?

    Thanks.
