X films tint? Any feedback?

[carxynogen]

I'm thinking of having this installed on my WRX. After 17 years of the no-tint life I'm using it a bit more during the day and it's HOT outside.

How clear is their 65VLT? The 70VLT seems nice but the IR rejection is a tad lower, and the warranty is shorter.

I suggest to get the same equivalent shade ng light shade from 3M if meron sa X-Films, sorry has no experience with X-Films yet.
Or much better if i try mo yung sample shade nila sa gabi if makita mo pa rin yung labas if walang light.
Mga 5:30pm - 6pm sa atin, parang 7pm night time na yung labas on 3M medium tint.

someone advised me,
if you have to tint your entire car, including the front windshield, get only same-shade tint for all of your car's glasses.
if your front windshield has lighter tint, and your sides have darker tint, your eyes will adjust to the lighter tint of the front. when your gaze shifts to the sides, you will in all likelihood, have difficulty seeing the sides of your car.

may kilala ako,
used dark tint on his sides and rear.
he can't back out of the driveway, at night.
heh heh.

I learned that lesson the hard (expensive) way.

First car back in college, I had a brilliant idea to get the clearest shade for windshield and super dark for the rest of the windows. Thought to myself, this combination will give me clear vision through the front, while hiding the inside of my car from prying eyes.

It ended up being like horse blinders. As you mentioned the eyes adjust to the clear front, and thus even the side mirrors are useless, let alone the rear view. I had to roll my windows down in order to drive at night.

In the end I had the super-black ripped out and re-tinted with a very light tint after only a week of having it on. At this point I was afraid of re-doing the horse blinder effect if I put in even a medium dark shade on the sides. ����

well,
some people drive like they had horse blinders on, even if their cars are completely tint-less.
heh heh heh.
"tunnel vision."
OT.

Well, this is already what I did with my unit but OK naman yung pag backing ko since naka light tint yung rear windshield.
Will definitely follow same tint shade application once its time na to replace this tint.
Sinusulit ko lang muna yung free ng CASA since OK pa naman.

So far, yung side mirror lang talaga diko makita sa gabi if walang light sa likod when backing out.
