Do share with us the brand you use. Usually these products come with a 10-year warranty.Originally posted by subfor:hi everyone. need some info on solar films. which company provide the darkest film and is LTA approve. my present film which i paid for 600+ 6 months back really S. bubble start to come out and you can see some of the film start to fade. trust only premium brand is my advice. -

After looking at some of the price packages of different brands, the differences described lie mainly in the amount of light transmission, the amount of heat reduction, and some quoted the amount of IR and UV reduction.Originally posted by Praetorian111:actually there is difference between the $1k one and the $600 one.... so choose wisely..... dun end up paying more or less for the one u dun like...
Here is what baffles me
: Why is there big price difference (as big as 40%) between the so-called "premium brand" and "the rest" if both offer similar spec.? Any reason for pple like V-kool to charge high despite knowing other competitors are offering lower prices? Anything to do with reliability that's not spelled out? How can we know that? Probably thru' experiences of users like all of you? 
I'm also looking at installing solar films but still undecided due to the high prices. And of course the above questions I have in mind didn't help.

Hi simcity,Originally posted by simcity:I installed Nanolux Ultimax package. Goto www.cartalk.com.sg forum and look for the discount given by the user 'Discoburg'. It entitles 15% discount. The best package is abt $600 compared to Vkool $1050.
I went to the cartalk website and also the Nanolux one. The ultimax package does look attractive and some more with discount
, even though there is a fair bit of sales talk in the former website .
What's your experience with the film so far? Are you one of the "promoters"?
Thanks in advance. -
Actually it is also the skill of the one who put up the film that is taken into consideration.... big companies have professionals that have done tat for yrs... while small ones and cheap mostly are companies that just set up and not much experience... go and source out first.... But V-kool is really overcharging I can say.... I got mine quite cheap... but a few mths the coy collaspe liao or shift site.... so i cannot recommand them to u... hahahaOriginally posted by swordsman_Lu:Here is what baffles me : Why is there big price difference (as big as 40%) between the so-called "premium brand" and "the rest" if both offer similar spec.?

First of all, what car are you driving. It is because of the LTA regulations on Tinted films. You can click this
The following requirements must be met when installing tinted films:
a) They must not be of the reflective type.
b) They must be tested for compliance with light transmittance requirements by a competent agent accepted by LTA e.g. Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board (SPRING) and authorised vehicle inspection centres.
c) The resultant light transmittance for the front windscreen and two front passenger windows must be at least 70%.
d) The resultant light transmittance for the rear windscreen and the rear passenger windows must be at least 50%.
e) The front windscreen must not prevent, obstruct or interfere with the transmission of signals between the In-vehicle Unit (IU) and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) facility.
If not approved by LTA, then they advise you to remove the film. So far only V-kool and Huper Optik is approved by LTA.
However, if you car window is tinted already, my advise to check thier package so that you may not want to get worried whether it comply with the LTA regulations. V-kool will perform a test to see whether the car is suitable certain package. -
Not because of the LTA regulation, I notice the price for solar film are quite x and heard from my colleague that he went to JB to get it fix and only cost him RM$200+. I'm actually wondering whether what is the different....(come with 3 yrs warrantly also).
I'm getting my Madza 2 end of this month and my home parking are without shelter.That's the reason why I'm try to source a cheaper range of solar film. -
whats the point for the warranty if the film start to fade and grow bubble when its only few months old. they will definitely replace cos the film is not that x. do you want your new car interior to be dismantle every few months?heart pain and moreover the interior need to be clean up again cos dirty liao. i would not mention the brand but the showroom was facing one highway and now no more liao. my the other car 3 years liao but the film is still super. no bubble no fading no nonsense, premium brand and showroom in bt.Originally posted by stealthguy:Do share with us the brand you use.

now i learn a lesson, premium brand means premium brand. no bullshit. -
