Tint : Vkool vs Huper Optik
-
hi guys,
anyone have any experience about getting your cars tint ?
What are the LTA rules ? all it says on the website is 70% light must be visible.
and which brand is recommended ? don't want to spend too much.
also, i heard that doing it in malaysia is always cheaper. ?? -
LTA guideline is that fron windscreen and front 2 windows must have 70% visibility, means 70% of visible light must be able to pass through.
rear windscreen and rear 2 windows must have 50% visibility, means can be darker.
mirror type of window tinting also cannot, must the the traditional ones.
Go malaysia, it's very cheap, did mine last year for less than RM300 i think, also depend on how big your car is, mine's a colt, so use less material i think, i bargained with the guy.
can go to taman sentosa that side, got quite a few shops doing, usually the banner will write the price, somemore got 5yr guarantee.
**Remember to tell them that it has to be approved by LTA, the people there know about it some of them even have previous certs of vehicles that passed the inspection to show you.
***Don't do inspection at VICOM, they are VERY strict, go to the other inspection centres, they are more lenient. -

I've got friend working in v-cool...
from my understanding, V-Cool is metallic based, it reflects off the rays, while the Huper Optic is ceramic based which absorbs the rays... As the v-cool reflects off the rays, it is less hot and last longer, compared to the sponge effect of the Huper Optic.
