3M tint, fake or genuine?

[supercar10]

good day people!

how do we know if our 3M tint is genuine or fake? i heard both fake and genuine have the 3M markings, so how do we distinguish the real?

are the one's from the casa like toyota and honda sure to be genuine?

it's really hard to distinguish nowadays how to tell a fake from the real thing. the 3M markings are now perfected by the goons who sell these fake ones. Better get them from reputable stores who carry these brands.

more likely than not, the CASAs sell the real thing. i don't think they'll risk the reputation of the car company just to make extra dough on phony tints..

Both have dot matrix print ata, but yung printing ng orig na 3M ay medyo malaki and medyo transparent and if you try to scratch it with your fingernails di matatangal, yung fake...yung print nya ay medyo maliit and darker ang kulay ng print and pag iniscratch mo sya with your fingernails ay nabubura sya.

ang orig yung dot matrix ang print na around 1cm x 1cm sabi ng friend ko na may shop sa banawe. ang fake naman yung malaki na parang outline ang pagka print...

toyota balintawak may fake na 3m dati (parang outline yung print) wayback 2001 nakabitan ang revo ng cousin ko... wala pa 1year nag kulay talong agad...

ask lang ako mga sir, kung ilang years ba ang maximum life span ng 3m tint? how about other brands like platinum and etc? and is it true na mas mataas ang life span ng 3m? tnx

So we need to scratch pala muna,, to determine if genuine... thanks ts

Para iwas fake, magpa-install ng 3M tint sa authorized dealer ng 3M Philippines.

anong reputation ng CASA??? the reputation of "casa" have long ago been damaged and gone... kaya nga sa labas kayo ng casa nag papagawa after hearing all the casa horor stories around and after the factory warranty... i am too am a victim (toyota bicutan to be exact)

extra dough??? fuel treatment on bnew cars haha...

anyways back to the topic, you may contact 3M philippines if you suspect to recieve a fake item, they will investigate and prosecute the seller who sold you fake tints...

you can probably ask 3M for a list of official outlets near you..

Installed BC20 sa windshield para pumantay sa sides na BC20 din installed couple of months ago, then sinubukan ko iscratch yung logo with finger nails, buti n lang hindi natanggal. hahahaha. Genuine na nga siguro yun
