To Tint or not to Tint?

[eyescube]

I need your advise guys, as we are aware marami ng mga naglipanang holdapers, mas safe ba or deterrent ba sa hold-ups, if ever magpa-Tint ako ng window ko?

[Push]

bro eyescube,

imho, tinting windows would help a lot but not really an assurance. it's like avoiding being the usual target. given two vehicles, one with tint and one without, most likely target would be the one without tint (kasi kita nila kung sino/anu yung victim nila). if you can prevent a robber in eyeing you or your car as the next victim, then tinting maybe the solution. don't give them (robbers) the chance to make that choice.

double pupose din 'to, security and privacy (joke...)

kaya mag pa-tint na din ako next week

cheers

Tinted windows also deter against kotong-cops.

Be aware, though, that if the perpetrator has gained access to your vehicle, then no one outside might notice what is going on inside the vehicle

[1D4LV]

to mention the UV and heat protection that you get when you get your car tinted.

[mojako]

clear tints na lang para malinis pa rin tignan yung car.

[ssaloon]

tint na, added security and deterant tulad ng sabi nila.

Ano yung maganda yung Dark Tint ba? kasi po yung akin kita pa rin sa loob milder tint ang nakalagay, how much will it cost sa pagpatint ulit for a REVO? any idea?

[pajerokid]

Madyo mahal magpa tint ng revo as opposed to sedans, simply because of the larger glass area. I'd guess it'll set you back around P4000+ depending on the brand.

And yes, having that thin film of plastic will give you a certain measure of security.

Kung patungan nyo na lang po ng lighter shade that could turn the tints into more darker shade. Baka po kasi masira ang rear defogger nyo pag bakbak ng tint sa rear windshield.



odell::: Elibs din ako sa yo... natutuwa ka pa pag sinisita ka ng pulis? Ingat lang baka malagyan ka pag check up nila sa auto mo.

[krscla]

I will personally go with mild tints.

Mainit kapag walang tint saka medyo nakakailang kasi pakiramdam mo nakatingin sa iyo lahat ng tao. Kapag sobrang dilim naman, medyo mahirap magdrive kapag gabi lalo na kung umuulan. Kapag mild, a little bit of everything ang makukuha mo. :D

[Shintaro]

Mas advisable siguro tinted sa panahon ngayon lalo na kung may babae sa pamilyang gumagamit nung sasakyan...lalo na kung bata pa yung gumagamit...

3M Medium Magic tints. Darker shade during daytime clear enough to use during night driving.

[paolorenzo]

Nalilito na ako sa terminology ng tint brands. When you say Magic, is this the silver, one-way, mirror tints? Or pati ba yung mga Panther Black series, Magic rin ba tawag dun?

[odell]

un magic.. pag gabe or walang light nakiktia na... pag may araw lang bago xa nagtatake effect...

[e36speeder]

does anyone have 3M medium black on their car? i was thinking of having that put on. is it safe to put it on the windscreen?

[Ungas]

paolorenzo:: 3M Magic tints vary shades depending on the light reflecting on the mirrors, varying shades differ from light magic to medium magic shades. Panther Black series remain black all the time even at night.

e36speeder::: The effective front windshield tints are the one way types or lighter shade than your other tinted windows. Even the Panther Black series will allow people to see you from your front windshield.

3M medium black gamit ko sa rear windshield. pinatungan ko existing tint ko kasi natatakot akong masira rear defogger ko. ok naman sya... pumantay sya sa 3m super dark tint ko sa ibang mga bintana.

Just saw this article in the inquirer today about checkpoints which will keep an eye on heavily-tinted vehicles. :swear:

Kaka-inis! Nag-hahanap lang talaga sila ng ma-ko-kotongan. Nakakatakot kasi baka mapag-tripan ka lang nila, and mag-plant sila ng kung ako sa sasakyan mo...

Pag hindi ka naman magpa-tint, siguradong holdup, at kung ano pang ka-demonyohan ang maaaring mangyari sa iyo...
