[QUOTE="LCP, post: 248269, member: 2424"] Yes, V-kool Elite 70 is legal all round as it allows 70% of visible light through... V-kool 40 is not as it allows only 43% of visible light through only, I'm on V-kool Elite 70 for front and V-kool 40 for my sides and rear... But in terms of infra red (heat) transmission, V-kool Elite 70 is quoted at 94% IR rejection/absorption, that means a 6% transmission... this is already a good figure for tint films, all cheaper ones are unable to achieve even near that. For the not-so-legal V-kool 40, the IR rejection is quoted at 98%, which means a 2% transmission only, the 3x difference (6% to 2%) with V-kool 70 can be felt in my car, just by sticking a hand out when the sun is shining through either the side windows or the front windscreen. Very satisfied with the performance of my tints even though the sides and rear may not be legal... Paid around RM2.5k if I'm not mistaken, in 2006, or was it earlier this year... [/QUOTE]
