Which window film is best?

kbk_75 · 12th November 2007, 22:53

I'm considering having my new car's windows tinted (upto the legal limit) and was just wondering which film is considered the best as far as UV and heat reduction is concerned.

I'm not totally sure I'll go ahead and do this, because as it is I feel that the auto-dimming side mirrors make it quite hard to see cars and bikes that are riding around without their lights on at night, so tints will only further worsen the situation.

Edit: $hite, just saw the other thread on the forum. Mods, shut this down for me please!

As far as window film is concerned Vkool is the best by a long shot.
