Just get a quote from 1 of the shop at OUG:
1.SolarPro for Side and Rear screens
2.HuperOptik for front windscreen
3.5 Years warranty
4.Total Cost: RM890

Also received an email from EcoTint:
1.Ecotint ranged from RM350 (Budget) - RM1600 (Top range)
2.5 years warranty against fading or change of color,deliminating, cracking and adhesive failure

So, guys, what do you think? Is the HuperOptik + SolarPro package a good deal? Anybody heard about SolarPro?

thanks ...

Try to get the best tint film you can get or settle for the cheapo ones. This would not make you disappointed. Don't be fooled by the showroom short light bulb display shining at the tint film. Get V-kool or cheapo ones. You can't possibly go wrong unless get conned!

get those wif heat rejection above 50%, anything less than that, ur skin will still feel painful when directly exposed to sun, also dun get the impression bcos its dark, it will reject heat, its not necessarily true, fyi, those silver/dark tint at the upper windscreen can only reject 60% heat eventhough its pretty dark

I was using V-Kool on my peugeot 405 7 years ago and was initially find it to be really good but after I gave Ecotint Ray Barrier a try. Will never go back to v-kool again. Reasons?

1. v-kool color will change from gold to green after 2 to 3 years.
2. not smart tag friendly, can't install GPS system.
3. the workmanship from Ecotint is for sure better than v-kool.
4. a lot of imitation of v-kool in market. don't know which is real or fake. they can quote you a gold dust with a v-kool elite price.
5. price for ecotint ray-barrier is much cheaper and perform better than v-kool elite.

I don't know if they have a branch in JB but you can try to go to their webpage to check it out and see if they have any dealers in JB.
