I have decided to got for the tinted window.
this is not my plan to get the car looking cool itis to stop the very hot sun coming into the car.
I am going to do the windscreen and the back too, itis a must in HK the sun is so hot, in the car when parked outside itis about 45c inside. but the windscreen tint will have to be the lightest 1.
all the film tints in HK block about 10c sunheat so both film work the same.
I had a shop around in HK and there are 2 kinds of film. 3M or the China film
Most people get the China film which has alot more % to chose from, 70% to 30% and the 3M has only 2 which is 70% and 85%.
Most of the HK stars get the China film, they never use the 3M stuff.
the China film is half the price compare to 3M stuff.

I just got my 3M tint for my car today, and I got active steering malfunction. Anyone know what will cause that error ?Any sensor-electrionics by the doors ?
I got H.O. 45% today. I did notice the bright lights on the rear window where the defrost lines are. It is slightly annoying, but I don't really do a lot of night driving. Also the rearview mirror dimming feature may be slightly off. It seems to take a little longer to dim the lights.
