V Cool in Singapore
 

Anyone installed V Cool on their RX 8 in Singapore ? What is the price like ? Got lobang for good deal ? Appreciate any advise.

bro!!! finally.........

when collect ur car???? i got good stuff to recommend u leh...... :D :D :D

as for solar films, i'm with cool n lite, the premium package......

v kool price is high high.... and specs comparable to other brands.... therefore i opt for cool n lite premium package instead, with film specs amongest the best as compared to other brands.....

the money saved are used to do other mods...... hehehehehe

We once got about 1k(forgot the sum again. do a search) for vk75 for front, front sides and sunroof, and vk40 for rear, and rear sides.

If you use cheaper films like mirage cost about 600+. You could try driving in to m'sia too. Think can save a extra 100 or 2. But dunno the quality. Comes with lifetime warranty(whoever needs it?) and they promise to redo for you if you fail LTA inspection.

Yup, i m on cool n lite too, not bad but dun expect it to make your car cool if your car is under the sun for more than half an hour
anything more than that, itz damn hot also...
HAhaa...but the car interior does become cooler in less time compared to without the films
imo, itz better than vkool
2cents

Bro Manwe got v-kool at $950.00(if am not wrong),which is i think not possible now.
Try cool n lite if u dun mind,
One main reason : got two jude jude there :p

one of them is Karin... the other one nvr see b4... :D :D

Even for top names like v kool, it is still hot after baking in the sun. Nothing to prevent it. If you are forever baking then dun bother too much. Do look at the UV rejection rate though. UV can cause serious aging to your leather and to you(especially eyes and skin).

Err jude jude no use. Must be date-able.

UV wise, most films will tell u its 99%......

IR is the heat rejection, which i tink cool n lite has one of the highest among its competitors (not counting V Kool, Huper Optik and 3M).......

if its baking in the sun, then even the best film is useless... if driving ard in hot sun, then yes, the heat rejection is impt!

hope this helps, bro.....

Thanks.
 

Thank you for all the feedback, a colleague of mine managed to get a hefty discount off from the V Cool package for me, cheaper then price quoted for 3M & Sumitomo. I had it fitted this morning. Using the VK 70 for the front and Vk 40 for the back.

Hi bro, quite interesting, I've sent you a pm on this. Cheers! :)

bro, u got ur car liao???? shld have asked u to come for the meet at west coast earlier.............

Please note that Vk40 cannot pass the LTA inspection. Be prepared to remove after 3 years. :)

Manwe bro....I recall when we had the tint done that they said the Vk40 would pass if only on the rear and rear sides...you got new info??

sorry.... hahah...dunno what i was typing. I meant vk70 at the front.

May I know how much is the "cheaper than price quoted for 3M"?

Is the price only for u only?
Or u can help to get the same price if any of the members here are interested.

Thanks

hi
 

VK70 all round is about $750, is this a good price ? should be able to get for you, if your want, I think.

But I did make a mistake about about my specs, it should be Vk70 for the rear and J83 for the front, also known as UV70 Protect for the package. Price at $550. PM e if you need the contact. Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.

Thank u very much ,

I'm thinking of getting 3M also life time warranty and the top end ones are $800 + free carmat cut to custom fit your car(mat should cost around $150-180)

Still can't decide.

J83 is not their premium range. I would suggest getting vk 75 for the front as it will reject significant more IR.

yah, i wld suggest getting the premium range as well..... u can feel the difference......

Hi Guys,

Just got quote from Kelvin at 3M today. $700 + car mats for Premium package for RX8. Me going for it, any bro keen to join me?
Hopefully more discount in numbers.....

Jin

I'm interested. somemore discount will be better. hopefully $600

Try to get vk 40 on rear side and rear. Get the roof done if you have it ;)

Any one try this before?

E-Cool

It claims to be able to lower the internal car temp by 10 degree even when U "brake" your car under the sun.

And its much cheaper than those window films.

Price: from $388.00 from "STAR Automotive Centre"

BUT

Price: $150 from "PERFECT WINDOW FILMS PTE LTD"

I do not know which price is the correct one. But if its $150 I will definitely install one and try.

bro, the above 2 brands... the film specs are not as good as 3M.

i wld suggest u go for the above package by jin (matrix11) as that is almost the bargain of the season!!!!!

$700 package.. ir 100% and heat rejection 95%....... i tink u cun find this type of specs anywhere for this price for this premium brand. V-kool and huper optik will never offer this kind of prices for this type of specs. the best thing is 3m mats are included!!!!!!! FOC

Look again, I'm not taking about the Films sold by these company.

I'm taking about the E-Cool,
its a A micro-processor based controller that is adapted to control the actuation and operation of a vehicle's existing ventilation blower fan motor in conjunction with the utilization of the vehicle's existing ventilation ducting

This ventilation system controller piggy-backs on your car's existing air-conditioning system and battery supply. With the ignition off, e-Cool monitors and prevents cabin temperatures from increasing by switching on the air-conditioner blower.

Anyone thinks that this is better than the Window Film? cos most of them that install the window film states that if you leave your car under the SUN for 1/2 hr the interior will still heat up even with the best window film.
