Hi,

I need you advice. I will be getting a Honda Civic Alabaster Silver. Dealer says the tints that are available are the ff: 3M FX-ST, 3M FX-HP, 3M Black Chrome and Platinum Magic.

Which tint should I get? Most important for me is the heat rejection qualities while tied for 2nd is the privacy it provides while enabling good visibility especially at night. I am ok with having a darker shade tint for the sides and the rear while having a lighter shade tint for the front. From the earlier posts, I am leaning towards the shade 35 for the front and 20 for the rest. But as to which tint variant, I need some advice?

I was actually looking for 3M Magic but according to dealer, 3M is phasing this out and the new version is the Black Chrome.

Thanks

Sir try mo hanapin website ng 3M (I think I posted a link a few pages back). Andun technical specs ng 3M films.

Yung ST, HP, at BC, may iba ibang variants pa din iyan usually named as to how much light they transmit (the darkest being 5, e.g. ST5, HP5, etc.).

I had the Starex tinted today at Jaffas. For the windshield (seamless) and front windows I used 3M CS35 (at least yun ang nakalagay dun sa roll) which is the lightest shade. All the other windows used CS5 (aka limo tint or super black). Php4,700 for everything.

I'm still waiting for the bubbles and minor imperfections to resolve naturally (they usually do). Mixed review ako sa install kasi magkaiba nag-install nung front half at rear half. Yung gumawa sa harap magaling. Parang bale wala lang mag-seamless sa kanya. Medyo matanda na, Mang Jun ang name. Yung sa likod medyo bagito, nagkaron din ng minor scratches yung tailgate glass. Hindi naman gano halata unless idikit ko ulo ko sa salamin pero malayong mas magaling yung gumawa nung sa harap.

Heto, oras na namang dasalan ang tint. At least better than the crap Hyundai Quezon Ave used.

Pasingit bro, ask ko lang anong pwedeng tint sa sunroof ng Tribute ko? Ok ba dark or Magic tint? Tumatagos talaga yung init kapag bukas yung cover during the day.

[OTEP]

Yup, pwede naman i-tint ang glass moonroof.

The company i was recommending b4 L.A. cars has a tint room specializing in full fronts. They just sent me an email that they have this new clear tint from 3m which has 95% heat rejection and is better than vkool. Try to give them a call, maybe they could assist you. Here's their website www.lacaraccessories.com or tel 817-8617 owner is Amrit or Ms. Maria

Parang mas ok mag reject ng init ang mga sputtered metal/metallic tint = magic. Either that, or try Vkool, liit na lang naman compared to the entire car.

[Dekra]

Yeah, meron na nga daw clear tint ang 3M na rivals that of V-Kool, tapos mas mura pa yata. 7k daw for a sedan.

Tapos naglabas na din daw ang Solarguard ng clear tint nila, yung Sterling 75.

[boyscout]

rikecool at vkool compared sa 3m at solarguard halos minimal lang in my experience sa effectiveness. Mas maganda at effective pa din kung darker shade talaga. Yun lang rikecool at vkool pag medium black and above na shade sigurado di na gagana e-pass mo kailangan mo pang ilabas.

[ajr_chan]

try spectra, its the same with vkool but cheaper. for a sedan 5000 lang. go to camspeed in alabang or call 8508353

2:30pm onwards? you mean they're not open in the morning?

[shampooking]

Good day Guys!

Tanong ko lang, how would I know kung orig na Solarguard ang naka install na tint sa oto ko? wala kasing logo ung naka install sa akin e, pero para sa Solarguard ang binayaran ko.

TIA and more power!

[KrisKros]

What can you all say about the P1800 Tints?
Especially the Super Dark Dark Dark Black tint.

[shampooking]

update, update:
may bubbles kasi lumitaw sa 2 door windows ko. pumunta ako sa solarguard, on the spot pinaltan nila, 3 windows pa. and reset pa yung warranty period.

Best tint brand available locally is V-Kool. Medyo mahal to have the entire car tinted, around 15k but the heat rejection is the best. And you'll maybe save more on gas since hindi hirap aircon to cool the interior.

[LAcars]

We do now have the 3M clear tints with 95% heat rejection and 99% UV. Price is almost half of Vkool.
