Tsikot Window Tints

[platic]

ok, from what I gather... 3M Tints offer good night visibility. The car salesman specifically told me that the "Platinum Magic" tint had an advantage over 3M because Platinum offered good night visibility. Does that mean the salesman was wrong? We were bothering him with questions late afternoon on October 31, when half his mind was likey already on holiday.

So if I go for 3M tint...

What shade offers a good balance between night visibility and privacy inside the vehicle? I would prefer outsiders see nothing at all inside the car, but not at the cost of hampering night vision.

I'm leaning towards the second lightest shade ("Dark Neutral"), but that's only because the bored salesman claimed it was their most popular shade. I haven't actually seen how light (or dark) that shade really is. The salesman was too uninterested to actually bother showing us what the tint would look like in a car. All he said was that it was rare to find people install a shade darker than the 2nd lightest shade.

most, if not all, Branded window tint films are scratch resistant. I have the Johnsons Window Tint Platinum series. The dakrness also differs with your interior color. If you have a charcoal or black interior, then it will be darker compared to a car with beige interior given they have the same tint percentage. Also, the overall quality of the tint depends on the installer itself. If you can have a Lifetime Warranty from the installer, great.

ANONG TAWAG SA PARTICULAR TINT NA GANYAN SHADE?? TY. (",)

3M tints rarely significantly hamper vision. I have tried even their darkest shade.

bmdj,

Ang tawag diyan ay MANYAK TINT. hehehehe

Btw, the industry norm for tinting is LIGHT BODY COLOR = DARK WINDOW FILM COLOR (near black)

DARK BODY COLOR = LIGHTER WINDOW FILM COLOR (near silver)

OTEP:

Ibagay niyo na lang po sa body color ng sasakyan niyo. Kapag 3M naman po malinaw pa din ang driver visibility. Huwag lang siguro yung panther black series. Baka po madiliman kayo.

OTEP: ty po.. tri color kc yung pinapintura ko,d ko pa alam kung ano ka2labasan?? (sana maganda..) (",)

I had 3M install in my City. Panther black siguro yun -- it isn't magic tint eh. It came in 3 shades. I had all the side windows, and the front visor tinted with the darkest shade. My rear windshield had the middle shade, and the rest of my front windshield had the lightest shade. Night vision is excellent! And pwede na siyang "MANYAK TINT", in the words of master OTEP.

Ewan kung fake yung kinabit sa akin, pero it only cost me P2,800 for the entire car. Pero hindi siya 1-piece sa windshields. May extra pag 1-piece, and I'm afraid it might be more prone to bubbles.

I always get my aftermarket tsikot stuff sa Auto Centro at Ali Mall Cubao. My tints came from Sun-X. I like them kasi they're honest. The owner will not give you bull$hit just to make a sale. They'll actually tell you what they think is best.

Sa tint, ambisyon ko pa rin yung V-Cool 70. But V-Cool is solely for heat/radiation protection only, and will not address your privacy needs. Pony at Auto Centro is a authorized dealer and they have trained V-Cool installers. Ang mahal lang talaga. They quoted me P18,000+ for an AUV.

platic, I suggest you use 3M with the medium shade. It's just right.

dapat medium shade nga para kita pero para sure wag na sa harap or at least yung taas lang sa harap kung hirap ka sa gabi
