    that's.. "dangerous".
    If there are streetlights in the area you can still see but with no or a few lights in the area you have to rely on your hi-beam headlamp to see further. Just need to get use to it.

Im now going to have my other ride tinted oem 20 ws and oem 5 on all sides and rear. Is there a visibly big difference with oem 20 and oem 5 when looking and glancing at the side mirror?

    Not a big difference, OEM05 is quite light for a dark tint.

    How would you compare OEM20 and 3M medium?

    If not much difference between oem 5 and oem 20 at night then I'll go with oem 5. For oem 20 and 3M medium at night not much difference but when driving during day time I noticed that 3M medium is a bit brighter and warmer hue as compared with Oem 20 which is cooler and bluer hue.

    VKool wrap around is around 6-7k if this Spectrum X price is around 3k wrap around and quality is good I might consider.

    As mentioned in the previous post, the best criteria to look for is the TSER rating. Since nothing is mentioned, I have my doubts.

    Did I get it right, the higher the number of TSER is better and the equivalent is SHGC but the lower the number is better?

    The question is, how does it compare with the best TSER rating of a tint?

    Ang baba ng tser nyan if converted. Vkool k series will beat this easily. Or hupers cs series..

    Tser = (1-sghc) ×100%

    Yes correct. As per nachi.org

    “SHGC is best described as a ratio where 1 equals the maximum amount of solar heat allowed through a window, and 0 equals the least amount possible allowed through. An SHGC rating of 0.30 means that 30% of the available solar heat can pass through the window.”

    Solar Heat-Gain Coefficient Ratings for Windows
    - InterNACHI(R)


    Mine was charcoal 35 / NS-CCS-35 1 PLY for 2,000 petot all... with that amount mukhang value for money na nga...

    SpectrumX ccs-35
    Visible light transmission = 32%
    Visible Light Reflection = 7.5%
    UV Transmission = <1%
    Solar heat gain coefficient = 0.73 (meaning it reject 27%/100% of solar heat)



    3M CS35 = 9,000 petot qoutation sa local authorize 3M diatributor

    Visible light transmission = 39%
    Visible Light Reflection = 6%
    UV Transmission = <1%
    TSER = 45%

    Actually offered it for 14,500 for color stable then haggled it down to 9,000... siguro so they can make a sale, at least... but when i visited other shop i saw this...

    anyway, hindi naman uber hot or always under the sun ang sasakyan, plus the aircondition is on great condition, also gusto ko nga walang tint pero i need a little privacy kaya i installed only the 35 vlt para kita pa rin ang driver...

    And correction it’s made in korea not china... so I’m not patrionizing this time sa china...

    Let’s see how this goes, i have 3m cs35 front and cs20 back on my cx5 for performance comparison...

    Aside from the 3M print you can tell naman if original Crystalline sa kapal ng film. Mas makapal sya compared to the oem type tints.

    From personal experience yung TSER rating for the CR70 at least is overrated compared to Vkool VK70. Mas mababa din glare reduction. Maganda lang yung hue, 3M CR's blue vs VKool VK's green

    From where I got it (Roadstar) ok naman price bro. Vkool VK just has better performance. CR doesn't block radio signal though so that's another thing going for it.

    If I had to do it again I'd probably get CR40/CR50 instead of CR70.
