TINT HEAT REDUCTION COMPARISON & PICS

Madico's Onyx Series and Huper's ceramic film do not have that greenish effect that some other lines do. Both Onyx & Huper have a neutral look to it. Huper offers the better heat reduction of the two, but that is because Huper is actually a commercial film, which means it's used for buildings and homes. This also explains the lengthy curing time (approximately 30 days) for Huper. Curing is the process of drying, where one may see water marks on the tint.......... But after drying, you'll love that tint for the heat reduction.

Madico's Onyx offers one of the best (if not the best)heat reduction for an automotive film. The excellent clarity and heat reduction is more expensive than conventional automotive film, but Below is a heat reduction comparison of multiple tint manufacturers obtained through their websites:

Company Solar Energy Reflected

Madico Onyx 5 63
Madico Charcoal / CH 5 58
Johnson GR5 43
Johnson PGC 10 51
SolarGard HP True Grey 6 57
Solargard HP Charcoal 6 58
Solargard Titanium 6 57

Madico Onyx 20 55
Madico Charcoal / CH 20 42
Johnson PGC 20 50
Solargard HP True Grey 18 50
Solargard HP Bronze 22 50

Madico Onyx 35 49
Madico Charcoal / CH 35 40
Johnson PBC 35 48
Formula One Ultimate 38 47
Formula One Comfort 38 42
Solargard HP Quantum 37 47
Solargard HP True Grey 38 40
Solargard HP Charcoal 38 53
Solargard HP Bronze 33 48

Madico Onyx 55 44
Madico Charcoal / CH 55 29
Jonson HNC 50 39
Formula One Comfort 50 34
Formula One Premier 50 42
Formula One Ultimate 50 37
Solargard Quantum 52 38
Solargard HP True Grey 50 36
Solargard HP Charcoal 50 43
Solargard NR True Grey 50 26
Solargard NR Charcoal 54 27
Solargard NR Grey 45 30

Both films are excellent.......it really comes down to what you want as an individual.

Here's my sedan w/ willow interior - tint: 35% all around, 55% front windshield all using Madico's Onyx Series.

the coupe has 55% on the front doors, 35% rears, and 55% front windshield. These pics were taken in the evening to give you guys an idea what it looks like out of the daylight.

NICE...

Did you change the front grille to "NISSAN" yet?
Like the wing!
Maybe I can go a little darker on the front tint...

Re: TINT HEAT REDUCTION COMPARISON & PICS

tickets?....as a matter of fact, I was pulled over last night.......the cop couldn't stop admiring the car......he let me off after handing over my business card and told him "if there's anything you or any of your buddies need, just give me a call." He did warn me about my signal lights not being orange and my side markers not being amber. Didn't even notice my tint though............hehe.

Re: TINT HEAT REDUCTION COMPARISON & PICS

There are ways to get permits from the DMV to have tints. All you need is a friendly Dermatologist.

G35x finally here! Black on graphite, premium, spoiler

Re: TINT HEAT REDUCTION COMPARISON & PICS

Dermatologist? You mean it's legal to get tint to hide your acne? haha

You probably meant optometrist (eye doctor).
