    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.

    I had the medium dark X-film tint replaced with the light dark shade. My 20yo car doesn't have LED lights and it was really difficult to see the road at night especially when it's raining on a poorly lighted road like C5. The owner of the shop told me why not just upgrade my headlights to LED. I declined and prefer to keep the halogen light which is cheaper to replace and does not cause inconvenience with the other drivers. The light dark shade was good enough for visibility at night but causes a slight during the day due to the reflection of the dashboard.

    Surprisingly the light dark tint of X-Films is also very good at heat rejection. It is a lot better compared to the V-Kool OEM medium dark installed with my other cars. For the price point between 6k to 10k, I think X-Films is a good choice.

    My old car's aircon tends to lose it's coolness during the day on a standstill and slow moving traffic. The new tint definitely helps reduce the heat from the windows, helping the aircon to keep just the right temperature to keep us comfortable inside the car.

    Mine's at least one year already. Light dark sa front windshield and front door windows, medium dark at the rear windows.

    Heat rejection is good enough I think. My 20yo sedan can still manage to keep the cabin's temperature just fine with the aircon setting at 50% cold. There are times it gets a bit warmer in the cabin at noon time but not uncomfortable.

    In the morning when the sunrays are shining through the door windows, I can feel the sunlight a bit warm but not to the point your arms become sweaty. That's good given that the front door windows are tinted with the light dark shade. A medium dark shade tint might be able to do a better with the heat rejection.

    Overall I think X-tint is far better than the V-Kool OEM at similar price range.

    2 years na x-film blue tint on my Hilux. 6, 000 pesos installed. Performance is good, mura pa.

I went for the medium dark (25% VLT) for the front windshield and door windows, and super dark (10% VLT) for the rears. The shop did not charge for an additional ₱1500 for the mixed tint shade due to a promo they have until dec 30. Starting next year meron na ulit additional charge.

    The tinting was done very well by the workers at Badtz. Pulido naman at malinis yung pagkakagawa except for one window where I didn't like the way the x-films watermark was positioned at the middle of the passenger window (the tinter who worked on that window seem to be mediocre compared with the other three tinters). Talagang visible yung watermark!

    Comparing the heat rejection with my Mazda3 hatchback with casa installed 3M OEM (35% front windshield with the rest at 20%) and another one with VKool OEM with all windows wrapped with 20% VLT, I can say from experience is that the heat rejection is better but not hugely significant with X-Films. The visibility from inside the cabin viewing outside is somewhat better but not that significant.

    I'm planning to have my Mazda3 casa installed 3M oem tint replaced with X-Films as well but with the elite version that comes with the slightly better heat rejection and a longer warranty period. I'll do that next Dec. Observe ko muna kung walang magiging issue sa X-Films at sa installation quality ng Badtz. But overall my experience with the shop is very good, consistent with the review experience from other youtube vloggers who availed their services.
    Shop looks good, but the problem I have with them is they also sell a lot of fakes. Fake recaros, fake AP Racing, fake Brembos etc. The official distributor of Recaro called them out for selling fakes and got called a hater lol.

    Hirap nga ma search saan gawa talaga yang x-films. Puro p-o-r-n sites ang binibigay ng google [emoji23]

    Let's see how the ceramic tint will hold up after 5 years.

    Pero so far ok naman workmanship sa tint installation at after sales support.
