Oh my!?! balak ko pa naman magpakabit ng tint sa LA cars ngayong xmas break. reading from their website they seem to be one of the professionals in tinting since they have tips and testimonials columns

Better go to Tinthub. Avoid V-Kool main also.

nag-inquire ako ng 3M tints for my car, honda city, 5800php. parang namahalan ako bigla. mas mura ang solargard at 5KPHP

Anyone here installed GT Tint or US Gila? Yun lang kasi free sa CASA.. gusto ko sana yung Medium Dark or Full Dark pero hindi naman ma sasacrifice yung vision ko when it rains and at night.. TIA

"Seem" is correct. Try other reputable dealers.

Now that I had medium tint installed, I'm missing the mirror finish like on our old car.

I was driving it earlier and I miss the times that ladies would fix themselves on the side windows heheh!

Ako naman, I generally don't like magic tint because of those fixing themselves on the side windows! Ok sana kung chick, pero most of the time, bleh!

Re. US Gila. All i remember is that these become talong colored and are hard to remove after a few years.

I also like the look of the black tints more... but i prefer the adjusting visibility given by magic tint for the front windshield. I'm considering changing the windscreen tint of the Altis to either 3M magic neutral or V-Kool before the summer months set in.

3M from 9 years ago came off quite nicely from the Prado's glass late last year. It's a testament to the adhesive 3M uses. Perhaps that could also be why they're a bit more expensive -- other than their capitalizing on their being a household name.

I'm also planning to replace the front tint of the GS. The Prado's is on Llumar. For the GS, I think I'll also go with magic for better visibility from the inside and invisibility from the outside. Mas mahirap manalamin ang mga panget at asungot sa front windshield. Hehehe!

I have always used 3M but I just had Huper Optik installed. The clarity is there as I also used it on my windscreen. I can also feel that the light coming in isn't that hot but for the premium I paid, I think I will go back to 3M which for me gives better value.
