V-KOOL solar film specifications updated

There have been some updates for 2008/2009 onward to the V-KOOL solar film specifications since my earlier Mar 2007 post. The J83 film remains the same for the front sides, while the front windscreen is now using the X75 film, and the rear sides and rear windscreen are now using the V-KOOL 70 film. The V-KOOL 70 package (upgraded from the basic Eurospec) that I took for my current Honda Civic Hybrid now consists of the following :

Front windscreen : X75 (updated)
Visible Light Transmission (VLT) - 77%
Infra-Red (IR/Heat) Rejection - 77%
Ultra-Violet (UV) Rejection - 99%
Total solar energy rejection - 46%

Front sides : J83 (same)
Visible Light Transmission (VLT) - 83%
Infra-Red (IR/Heat) Rejection - 57%
Ultra-Violet (UV) Rejection - 99.5%
Total solar energy rejection - 31%

Rear sides and rear windscreen : V-KOOL 70 (updated)
Visible Light Transmission (VLT) - 73%
Infra-Red (IR/Heat) Rejection - 94%
Ultra-Violet (UV) Rejection - 99%
Total solar energy rejection - 55%

- Pretty good numbers, especially with the X75 film for the front windscreen a bump up from the earlier specs and the V-KOOL 70 for the rear windscreen on par with the earlier Mystique package specs but with much better light transmission, and more acceptable to users like myself who prefer the "all-round clear" look.
