    Post  Vibhor 24th February 2009, 6:46 pm

    Hello Guys!
    I was planning to install sunfilm on my car, but i don't have much idea about it, Can anyone tell a good brand of sunfilm available at reasonable price? :)


    Thanks.

    3M is a good brand. Here it costs 1800(bad installation) in one shop and 3000(good installation- no bubbles,etc..) in another shop.

    yeah check out 3M store in ur city vibs, they have good range of varieties and all their range are from 50 to 70%, and the best of them are the ones with light shades which makes night vision easy and not too dark to make things difficuly to drive at night.Atleast go for 60% or more protection film with any lighter shades u like.CHEERS!!

    As everyone said 3M & LLumar is good.

    Never go for Gareware as it is too cheap & worse.

    Thanks guys!
    I'm hearing name 3M for first time, but as you all are saying that its good i will check out. I am thinking to install tints of light black shade. But guys, I don't want to go for expensive ones because i will be putting them on my 800 only and i think llumar is quite expensive brand.isn't it?
    @Zinam : Why buddy?Why garware is not good? :)
    Thanks.

    Garware is cheap and we had it installed in our old Uno. The change was very mild and hard to notice. 3M is a good brand and did better than Garware. 3M is the brand available with car showrooms here, be it Mahindra or Maruti.

    Blackened pillar with tint is cool. So as the mirrors. But still didnot like the idea of white bumper. Just my personal opinion.

    Yes Vibhor!!

    Garware is almost like a freeware here :)

    When ever you purchase a new car, they will say like, we are ready to provide Sunfilms worth 3K .. i.e. Garware..

    Its too worse in quality & you can see bubbles almost 2nd week of installing!!

    Sure Vibs...
    http://www.llumarindia.com/index.php

    LLumar.... I hope everybody will be knowing this brand.. Because most of the OEM Fornt Windsheilds will have LLumar only :)

    I hope your 800 will also have this.. this is also a good brand.. You can check out this!

    hey vibhor, if you want your pillars to get black, dont paint them as it would be expensive mod, rather go for matt finish sticker thing which is available with the accessories shop or with the sticker-numberplate shop which are reliable and long lasting as i did with my indica, orvm coloured looks cool but bumpers not sure as i have seen faded bumbers and they doesnt look good on 800, though its my choice.

    Cool Pictures blocking half of the messages -SOLVED

    Post  TSReddy 5th March 2009, 4:47 pm

    For the past few days, when ever I opened this post on sunfilm, pictures of cars were right on the top of the message and so, I could not read message. NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED ITSELF. NOW THE PICTURES ARE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE MESSAGES.

    I had Garware film installed on my santro in 2005 and it is in excellent shape till today. As I am about pick up my new Chevrolet Neo2 Tavera next week, I spent a few hours reading the internet posts on sun control films.
    They all seem to recommend 3M, Llumar and V-cool films. V-cool seems to be too expensive. Llumar has very few dealers. 3M seems to be available all over. So, I decided to get 3M film (Crystalline film with a 5 year warranty). I am getting CR50 (50% visibility and 56% heat rejection) for the sides and CR70 (70% visibility and 50% heat rejection) for the rear, and none for the front wind shield for now. The Tavera SS-D1 already comes with light tinted glasses all around.
    The price is not confirmed as yet. I will post again when the price is confirmed. Looks like it will run about 13000 for 33 square of glass in Tavera.
