anyone ever try "magic" tint? any opinion abt this kind of tint?

 

its a good compromise between heat reduction and night time driving

 

when the sun shines directly on it, it turns opaque (the degree of opacity will depend on the "lightness" of the tint)

 

and at night, it becomes semi-transparent. which is better than the black tints that make it difficult to drive at night

without a HID headlight kit.

 

but if you wanna have your car tinted, i recommend going for the lightest magic tint. this is because heavily tinted cars

sometimes get flagged down. i think they're reviving the "no tint" law of the 70's.

What is HID?

 

Anyways, 3m med tint lang sa car ko.. palibot na yun.. full windshield rin. Hubby ko kse madaya.. sa kotse nya superdark pinalagay nya, tapos med dark lang sa kin.

Previously answered na yung question mo about HID.....lemme just add:

 

HID stands for HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE.

 

It is a bright kind of lighting, 10x as brighter than the brightest automotive halogen lamps currently available in the market.

 

HID is produced by supercharging xenon gas contained inside the bulb through what is considered the 'filament' in most halogen types. This is accomplished by transforming 12V of electricity into 12,000V(?) through the 'ballast.' In the process, what in ordinary halogen lamps consume 60/55W - 90/100W - 170/140W, HID lamps only consume 35W and they are as much as 10x brighter than the brightest halogen (I have 170/140W).

 

There are essentially two types of HIDs. The single beam and the dual beam. Single means....well....single. Dual means that you have a low beam and a high beam. Certainly, the dual beam HIDs are more expensive.

 

As to illumination, HIDs come in several degrees of illumination. The most common are those in the 6000K illumination, considered the "white light" and all-weather.

 

Prices of HID may range from P12T for Taiwanese made....to as much as P28K for the Philipps Diamond Vision. There are even more expensive ones.

 

Finally, HID lamps are considered the "cool lamps" owing to their low consumption. You can actually touch your headlight cover without danger of being burned or scalded unlike with halogen lamps where you can be accidentally burned by the heat of the lamp cover.

 

I hope this helps.....

For heat protection... d2 sa lugar namin na umaabot ng hanggang 50 degrees, tapos sa initan ka

 

naka park, necessity na talaga. I don't know if we have this brand V-kool sa atin... kahit anong init sa labas

 

malamig ung glass...they claim one of the most advance daw...medyo may kamahalan nga lang... but very

 

good. Ung pinaka magaling mag repel ng heat at radiation is the transparent ones...un nilagay ko sa harap

 

and then sa side at likod ung 70% heavy tint... dito pag darker pa sa 70% huli ka na, un kasi ang law nila.

 

Overall, di sya mainit, considering na black ung car at ung outside temp is mataas talaga...dito 34 is considered

I tried V kool once on my F150, very expensive but didn't come out nice. It had a greenish type of appearance, nag mukhang armored truck ang bintana ko! It wasn't also effective in bringing down the glare. But what pissed me off, is that VKool doesn't allow your parking transponder or e-pass to work!

 

On tinting, this is my two cents worth.. if it's a european car (Benz, BMW, Audi), don't tint it .. sayang ang investment mo if you're not going to flaunt the interior and the fine leather trims.. if you do, it becomes plain vanilla.. Secondly, determine first how you're going to use the car.. if you're always on the field, tint it with 3M RE35, RE20 in front - ask the one installing to leave a hole for the LTO sticker - FYI it's not a strict requirement to have this.. You can go to Roadstar or other accessory shops and request that they tint the front windshield with one-piece. Don't settle for a two-piece coz the partition runs right smack into your eyeline. Then, to remove the LTO sticker, use the flat blade for applying "masilya" .. this is what is being used by pre-owned car-dealers to remove stickers.. try it!

 

Secondly, if you are a takusa.. tint it all black! don't take the risk.

 

I personally have two late-model SUVs but I haven't tinted them. I don't go out on the field and just use the vehicles early morning and evening just to and from the office. That being said, they look like they came straight from the show room. All original. But I plan to get a sedan next year as a third vehicle and do an all-around 3M, just to have one for privacy. You don't know when it's going to be handy :evil: Cheers!

On paper, yes. But in this country where there are virtually no patrol cars and policemen just huddle in pre-designated areas, there is basically no enforcement of these rules. For instance, how will you arrest a politician #8-plated SUV with "metallic wheels" a.k.a. 20-inch bling blings? Over your dead-body right?

"No or disconnected mufflers", that would cover all jeepneys in this country! Again, no enforcement. Tinted cars have been banned since the late 80s to present - has it been enforced?. a resounding NO. You can basically run away with murder in this country.. that's why we have the biggest population of private security guards in the entire world.. because the citizenry do not believe in the government's ability to enforce anything.. Cheers!
