What's the best car tint brand and color?

[Egan101]

Ok naman experience ko with Platinum tints. I used it on the Accord, Fiesta, and ASX. Yung sa FXT, gamit ko yung free na Solargard from casa.

our eyes automatically adapt to bright and dark scenarios. and so do many cameras.
that is why, it is difficult to make judgements using our bare eyes, or using a camera's pictures taken on "automatic".

set the camera to "manual", then make your manual settings. use these same settings when taking and comparing pictures of the various darknesses from inside the car.
or, use a light meter.

also remember,
iba-iba ang mga light sensitivities ng mata ng iba-ibang tao.
"don't take their word for it."

I have 3M dark tint installed in my black kia picanto.. sabi nung friend ko dark daw sa labas pero sa loob hindi naman pala ganun ka dilim kahit gabi..

Yung officemate ko naman nag pa install ng cheap dark tints.. madilim talaga labas at loob eh.. tapos saglit lang kumupas na..

Eto yung di magets ng mga tao. Unless the photos were taken using identical lighting and exposure settings (which most people don't even know how to manually setup) - then you can't have an apples to apples comparison of tint.

Here's how a proper interior tint comparison would be (exactly the same location, exactly the same camera settings):

Vkool OEM20 (medium) vs Vkool VK70 (clear)

I have rfid installed inside my windshield so I dont know if they will cut a rectangle for the rfid when they install the tint.

So even with HID retrofit which is supposed to be brighter but based on the photo it is still dark inside with medium tint.

yup sabi nga nila, unahin muna tanggalin yung tint bago mag decide if you really need HID
kung pwede lang ipost yun sample pic ni jut doon sa mga nagbebenta ng tint na dark outside clear from inside kuno

Yes. Super lakas ng HID retrofit vs halogen but negated by tint. From outside ganito kalayo yan:
But as you see from inside, mas malakas ang halogen + clear tint vs HID + medium tint.

Side by side, the difference is even more evident:

Okay but this is VKool tint brand so other major tint brand also have the same effect? medium tint for windshield is still dark and is dangerous especially when you travel out of town frequently in dark roads.

Same with other brands, I also have 3M Color Stable in our other cars naman. But all our cars have medium tint in front and hindi naman ako hirap magdrive out of town. Used to drive Ilocos-Manila or Baguio-Manila regularly with my medium tint. Even on rainy nights nakikita naman.

Even my dad seems to have no problem driving at night with the medium tint.

What was dangerous for me was driving with dark tint (VLT = 5). Had it in my FB Civic for a time before. Too dark. Medium tint I would say is max liveable for windshield.

I see. I always drive with no tint in the windshield and I might have to adjust a little especially driving at night maybe a light shade tint in the windshield will suffice for me the important thing is it will still be dark from outside or people outside cannot see through.

If you have light tint on windshield, max you should put on hour sides is medium so your eyes dont keep adjusting when you glance at your side mirrors.

With that setup, kita ang loob.

Isn't it that with light tint on the windshield you can just slightly glimpse on what's inside but cannot totally see.... and with medium tint on all side windows you cannot see what's inside because medium is alread dark.

i have two innovae, with identical stock headlights.
one has no tint out front, and the other has light tint out front.
the difference at night is obvious. there are some things i can't easily see at night, that i would normally see in my tint-less car.

someone here already posted,
after removing his front tint, he decided he didn't need a headlight upgrade after all.

Nope. Kita ko loob pag medium, maaaninag mo who's inside although not super clear. I have medium on all sides on my Mazda 3.



Pag light halos kitang kita na rin nasa loob. Almost no different to clear tint:



You might be referring to dark tint on the sides and medium sa windshield. Yun yung hindi talaga kita loob - best case is silhouette pag super direct sunlight.

in my older car with side tint,
i cut out two round portholes, so's i can see the side mirrors.
medyo baduy to the observant, but it works.
hindi makita ang nasa loob, at malinaw ang side mirrors.

SanAyan lang for me since college super dark na pinapa install ko all around then medium windshield

3M Medium gilid ko.. Hirap ako sa madaling araw na umuulan.. Ilaw na lang palatandaan ko.. Pero kung walang headlights yung motor or sasakyan tapos mag overtake.. Tsk! Sa windshield wala din ako tint.. sabi ng friends ko mag install daw dahil babae ako.. Pero mas gusto ko talaga clear lang malinaw sa gabi na biglang buhos ulan..

Okay thanks I'll visit the BF film shop and check their tint.... they send me a pricelist and was surprised that they have high end tint with 97% heat rejection that is price at Php30k.
