Window Tints

[Carbine]

[reply]It's the same price. The installer told me that if the windscreen is too curved, they will not be able to install a single piece.

 

My front windscreen is also having 1 piece only. Rear has been sliced many times horizontally, like Turbobrick. The cutting lines are at the deminister strips.

confirmed with v-kool liao. 2 pcs installation for curvy windscreens. same price. but I felt that the joining sides between the 2 pcs are pretty obvious, cut across the length of the windscreen.

 

anybody here opted for the goldust package? or which package would you guys recommend?

[Huggable]

Yeah the installer didn't tell me about it until I collected the car. Just can't get used to the dark tinted strip, anyway the front windscreen is already factory-tinted. So I went back to ask him to put a clear strip instead. The clear line might not be obvious when seen from outside, but the driver sure can see it!

 

The goldust package is lowest-end, very reflective from outside.

I'm seriously contemplating installing v-kool. which outlet would you recommend? Science Park or East Coast branch?

[Ghostrider]

Sure sure.....and we exchange tips okay !!

 

But my system normal lah...nothing to shout about.....you may be disppointed.

[Turbobrick]

By then most of the 850/70 bricks also old liao lah

[Ghostrider]

Nebermind...as long as it is cheap and stuffs are FREE....who cares !!!

 

Like in the army said it...."cover the face and F*** the base"

[Sparetyre]

"Normal"?? I think the definition is subjective...

 

I won't call a system using Class A amp to power the tweeter "normal"....

 

Then maybe mine is very "abnormal"....

What are the requirements for tinted glass and tinted film?

 

All vehicles with tinted glasses must be approved by LTA. The solar tinted film fitted on the vehicle safety glass has to be tested for compliance with the light transmittance requirements by a competent agent accepted by LTA

e.g. Singapore Productivity and Standards Board, VICOM (Sin Ming), STA Inspection (Sin Ming).

 

For the front windscreen and the two front passenger windows, the resultant light transmittance must be at least 70%. For the rear windscreen and the rear passenger windows, the resultant light transmittance must be at least 50%.

 

The solar tinted films fitted on the front windscreen must not prevent, obstruct or interfere with the transmission of signals between an installed in-vehicle unit (IU) and any Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) facility. If such an interference is encountered, a suitable sterile window area (an unobstructed area not fitted with solar tinted film) at the front windscreen should be provided.

 

Tinted films used as sun-visors and fitted on the top edge of the windscreen do not have to comply with the light transmittance requirement. However, such films on the front windscreen should be fitted not more than six inches (150 mm) from the top edge of the windscreen. As for the rear windscreen, it should be not more than four inches (100 mm) from the top edge of the windscreen. We would allow such films or stickers, regardless of whether they are transparent or opaque, to carry graphics or wordings as long as they do not appear in any way pornographic, obscene or vulgar, and are not seditious or do not affront any religious belief.
