| V-kool seems extremely expensive for just tint (no matter "up to" how much heat they reduce). Didn't know 3M was that high too. From what I've seen, the ghetto guys install V-kool on the inside of the rear window. While this prevents the rear tint from fading compared to putting it outside, they put it over the embedded electric wires on the rear window (wires used for de-misting). Slapping water and scraping on wires linked to the rest of the car electrical system probably affects something else also in certain cars, which is what your friends might be referring to. |

| All tinting should be applied to the inside windows - rear screen included. The demisting elements are "one sided" and there is protective coating over the back that protects them from being damaged. Applying tint over or even touching them with your fingers do not damage them. V-kool only affects frequency reception within a vehicle - as they are metal based. That is, if you have aftermarket tv system / handsfree that doesn't have an external antenna then the reception quality is reduced. |

| And lets not forget that V-cool costs a shit load more than 3M does. well, thats from my research anyway. |

| but does the v-kool or the 3m for that matter reduce the heat in the car? how are they different from the normal tint?? |

| The company i last worked for installed 30% tint 3M in both mini busses for ~Dhs700. I heard V-Kool goes for 1500+ depending on the car....... I was in the bus once, and barely felt any sun/heat in traffice at 11:00am in July/August......very good stuff. |

| V-Kool is expensive... aint worth it whatever u want to install... do it from the inside.. |
