Seizetheday Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I had my new Revo done at Boy Car, virtually opposite the Toyota on the west side of Sukhumvit Rd. When I picked up my new car the film wasn't dark enough, they took off the old film and put the darker film on. I can't remember how much I paid, although I would suggest quality of workmanship is more important than saving a few Baht. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have my vehicles done at wrap2car. Cost will depend on what film you choose. http://wrap2car.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utley Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Whoever you choose, have them do the side and rear windows between 70% to 90% but leave the front window clear. Nighttime driving is only made more difficult with a tinted front windshield - IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakename Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So, you mean that there is no need to see out the side windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way way too dark!!, 40% driver and passenger windows and 60% rear side windows is more normal. But many modern films dont need to be dark at all to keep out UV rays.

KhunBENQ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) My V-Kool film for a (small) Mazda 2 cost about 4500 Baht in 2011. Including removal of the silly stuff that Mazda had put on without asking/discussing (that was not in Pattaya, but even small upcountry towns have more than one specialist place for that) All V-Kool films claim 99% UV absorption. So that's indeed not a point. EDIT: deleted, I really don't remember the technical details of the film I have. It's much more transparent than most drivers use here. A nice gadget ("Filmtest") by V-Kool Thailand: http://v-koolgroup.com/index.php?op=filmtest-index From that I am quite sure that I have the "VK 70" type, highest translucence they offer (70%).

DD13 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks everyone...... I totally agree anything over 40 per cent is dangerous at night especially with these foolish Thais who ride without rear lights......but we have covered that issue many times..... ps. I fully expect an ear bashing when I return home with her film changed......but better than her hitting someone...or dog...or kerb ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
