hmmm...hard one!
For their benefit, normally in sun the tint looks more (or it tints more).
But if you say it looks 70%, then the police is going to think that as well. Or the guys when you get a re-registration.

Well, as long as you can see well without problems, then you should be ok. Try to get a receipt from the shop saying its 30% in case the police stop you (not that it will stop you from getting fined - rather depends on the policeman's mood). Good thing is you spent only AED 150. A normal branded tint would cost 2x more.

you spent just 150dhs, if you dont like it rip it off and get proper tint installed from a reputed shop.
is this 150dhs tint stuck on the outside of the windows?

how did you come to the conclusion it is 70?

3M to me is a bit overpriced. Vkool is definitely way overpriced. There are others available mid-range with same results and 3M and vkool with warranty. Even in Satwa you can get various options done - problem is that you cannot always trust you are getting the original stuff in Satwa
