Best Tint For Sri Lankan Heat

How's your experience with both IrisPro and NDFOS with respect to night time driving? Is there any glaring issues? Personally, my car is a low rider so the headlights (especially since most are coming on high beams nowadays) of on coming traffic is a big concern for me.

Hi @Devinda_Z!

The NDFOS was on Santa Fe and I didn't drive it much at night so I can't recall any issues

The IrisPro was absolutely fine at night but you notice that blue hue during the day

Guess IrisPro would be a safer option then.. Thanks a lot

There shouldn't be really because they only cut 20-30% visible light transmission at the most.

It's not that noticeable

Hi,

After seeing this review I visited the Washing machine pannipitiya and got it done to my car as well. I can also say the same thing. They did a superb job and heat rejection rate is acceptable. They charged me 50k for windscreen and front shutters.

Thanks for your review.

Hey guys! Quick update.

So I decided to go with the IrisPro IPE70

It seemed to make the most sense to me, considering it had everything I was looking for i.e 72% visible light, an infrared rejection of 92% & a total Solar Energy Rejection of 56%

Got it done at "The Washing Machine" in Pannipitiya

I have to say, stellar job!

This tint is so fab, it feels like an invisible armor on your car. Here's what I found:

Pros

1. Color - The tint lights up in a beautiful blue/green hue when exposed to sunlight. The exterior color is transparent as far as anyone's concerned.

2. Heat - The tint manages to keep the car relatively cool, even when parked out in the hot sun. Performs really well when driving with minimum glare.

3. Fuel Economy & A/C - I did experience better fuel economy and higher A/C performance after the tints were installed.

4. Visibility - I'm very satisfied with the visible light performance of the tint. Hardly noticed a difference before/after installing tints.

5. Service - The service was outstanding! The agent rep for Irispro (Tony) visited the station in person to give me a 15 min demonstration on how the tint works. We communicated back and forth via fb & phone. He was very accommodating with my requests.

6. Price - The agent also managed to land me a great deal for the front windscreen (Rs. 13,500) and the roll down shutters (Rs. 8,500), and mind you, I've got a massive windscreen/shutter in my 97 Vitara. I'd say its definitely a competitive price, considering how a NDFOS Windscreen could cost about 15k, and 3M could be as high as 16k or more.

7. Warranty - The tints come with a 10 year warranty afaik

Cons

1. Installation Time - Hardly something I should complain about. But still, here it is. The tint installation took about 3 hours in total for both the windscreen and the front shutters. They had to remove a lot of debris as well. Still though, hoping it would've been quicker.

.........................

I'd definitely recommend IrisPro to anyone who's interested in installing a legal, reliable, well-performing and an affordable tint for their cars.

Reach out to Tony at Irispro, he'll help you to secure a good deal.
