Insist mo sa SA mo na either 3M Color Stable or Black Chrome ang ikabit.

CS: non-reflective, shade is black/grayish.
BC: reflective, better heat reduction.

If I remember correctly, pag sedan around Php5k, 1-pc sa windshield.

As for installers, better make the trip to Banawe para makapag-canvass ka. Sa Manila area kasi limited ka sa choices, and sa experience ko, mas mataas maningil yung mga shops sa Abad Santos (Romy's, Autoworks, etc.).

Meron clear tint na ni-o-offer ang Sun-X (* Auto Centro Cubao). Clear Cool raw ang brand, 5k for sedan, 1pc front and rear. Quoted heat rejection is about 50% raw, sabi ni Erick. Clear, pero may konting greenish effect once installed raw. Sabi nung ermats ni Erick, SunGard US raw may gawa. Medyo duda lang ako, kasi walang ganun sa lineup ng SunGard online.

Pero parang gusto ko i-try. Kung bitin sa heat rejection, magpapadagdag na lang siguro ako nang isa pang patong ng 3M BC35 for sides and rear, once fully cured na yung 1st layer...

Going by the TSER numbers, mas effective pa yung V-Kool 70/CR70 kesa sa "super black" tint. Not sure kung locally available yung mga 40% tints na V-Kool/Crystalline pero kung meron, mukhang mas advisable yun pag gusto mo talagang di mainit. Relatively clear pa rin naman yung 40% tints.

TSER:
V-Kool 40: 64.53%
Crystalline 40: 60%
V-Kool 70: 55%
Crystalline 70: 50%
FX-ST5: 46%

thank you for the info sir! V-Kool is the most expensive here right? how about the Crystalline, how would i know if it's genuine or not? may peke ba talaga nito? nakakatakot bumili kasi mahal e kahit pa maging half the price lang ng V-Kool...

I suggest you just spend the 5k on 3M BC35 (53% TSER) instead of trying out another tint. Sayang din yung pera pag nagkataon na palpak yung Clear Cool. Sa 3M sigurado ka na as long as genuine yung tint.

Nihhao/Nihhon (Banawe cor Cuenco) is good. Okay din sa Jetcar (tapat lang ng Nihhon). Other good installers: C3 Audio (Banawe cor Dapitan), Maspro (old Banawe, near E. Rod), and Gold Cars.
