Is 3M tinting worth it?

I know it will affect the RF but remember that the S2k is convertible, thus you don't have any problem at all. Even in my VW bora the GSM phone is working perfectly.

On the other hand, I don

You are so correct ahmed, totally didn't consider that

So i'm guessing you don't use v-kool, so what brand do you go for?

thx

Yeah the one in Ibn Battuta is the shop that blindly quoted me 2000 AED. The guy said he was making the price up now because they didn't have it on the system, he didn't even have a look at the car. I told him it's a small car, and that yellow hat priced it as the smallest vehicle which was around 1850, but he kept saying "but it's 75% protection".

The guy was weird, behaved as if he didn't want me in his shop. Whatever his loss.

I guess I might end up doing it at yellow hat or at v-kool. I asked Honda Shk. Zayed branch, and they said they do tinting but not the clear crystalline 70 one.

the best one
is 3M from burjuman or MOE

and do th cristaline

with no dark tinting
i did the full car for 1500 dirhams after a lot of negotiations
dont do dark cristaline if ur interior is black
just do clear cristaline
and yes if u keep it in the sun it will fry
its convertable

but u protect mainly the leathr and dashboard

Dont you guys think that the AC is quite strong on the S (Smaller compartment) and cools lot quicker than normal car?

The only issue i have is the Mugen Gear knob! I am sure headers are lot cooler! lol

for dashboard you need to take care of it otherwise as well, these dashboard polishes kill it and makes it all shine and glossy
