Solar Film upgrading from RikeCool Premier 28 to Platinum 50

Hi bros, just wanna check with you guys whether is it worth to upgrade from 28 to 50? What is the difference between a 28 and 50 other than the price? No mention of their properties on their homepage.

My SE quoted me S$350 to do the upgrade. Is it worth the money?

Will appreciate any serious and non-serious replies.

Wow! How did you find that!!??

Guess I wasn't paying attention when I looked through their homepage all the time.

But I'm still wondering whether is it a good upgrade.

It's abt preference ba

It seems like a good upgrade. Dun have to top up THAT much of a money.

Still trying to convince myself to upgrade.

IMHO, save the $$$ and do other mod better. The film whether premium or not, in spore, the weather at >35degC makes no difference.....

All i know is that the 28 sucks......15 mins driving under the sun and I can feel heat emitting from my dash board.....

wow, bro ck7373. thanking for enlightening us! i was quite sour over hearing rikecool 28 is lousy. that's the only freebie i got from the SE. kept thinking to upgrade but SE can't offer this service even when i willing to top up. think better consider a strut bar than upgrade solar film.
hehehe ...

Feel same here... Solar film no effect too. Left car under Cloudy weather for 15 mins already very hot inside. Think being black also contribute to the heat.
I suspect the heat from engine compartment was conducted into the cabin too.

Was once considering tinting the rear windows ....

Not sure whether I'll do any mods in the near future. No one I've asked has gotten the Magentis, so won't really know what mods are available, and good to install. That's the problem when you buy unpopular rides.

Maybe should have gotten the Forte 2.0 instead.

By the way, what does a strut bar do? Keep hearing forummers talk about it. Is it a necessity?

frankly speaking, assuming the rike cool grade our SE give is 28? I am happy with it n wont feel the heat as strong as my other cars. I wont spend more to upgrade films liao..

agree with Tish too.....save the $$$ for other mod.

Frankly speaking i dunno y but i do feel the heat from the rikecool. I dunno y, even my latio with lower grade solarfilm is not as hot as the forte.

But if i were to change i would not get from rikecool, i think tintsy cool packages are better and cheaper, my past cars have been done by them and i would say its good enough and affordable.

Btw im not related to trent just a happy customer.

if you really want to upgrade,i think the price which your
se quoted is reasonable.
i asked the manager from rikecool,
i was quoted $1300.

Never tried the 28. What I'm afraid is that there's no difference between the 28 and 50, then end up only waste money.
