I would like to summarize all my useful information about finding, installing, searching, and getting a good deal on window tint in this post.  Window tinting has become very popular in the last twenty years.  The quality of the auto tint has really gotten much better and window tinting prices are very affordable too.  Adding the window tint film does not take more than a few hours for a qualified professional.  Cheap window tints are available too if your buddy works at a shop or can get the material for really cheap.  With all of these things going for us, it is no wonder their are so many cars or autos with dark windows out there.

So what are the advantages of auto window tinting?  Well, the biggest one I can think of is that it keeps your car cooler and reflects the sunlight away from sensitive eyes. I always had to wear sunglasses so window tint was a blessing for me.  Now, I do not have to worry about getting a headache if I forget my sunglasses.  Also, being a bit cooler in the summer helps the air conditioner not have to work as hard, but this is a small benefit.

Another huge advantage of getting your windows tinted is that is looks so much better.  You car will  now stand out with the tints on all your windows. You will really have a huge advantage if you compare your car or truck to someone else with window tint.  Most custom cars are tinted and there is a simple reason, it just looks good.

Are there any disadvantages to getting windows tinted?  Yes, you could risk getting pulled over by the police, since dark windows are against the law in most states. The law various, but normally anything over 50% tinted is too dark.  I must say you can barely even tell a car is tinted at that. 35% is still way to light in my opinion, but it is your risk.

Another thing to consider is the safety issue driving. It will be harder to see out of your car or truck now. Turning can be challenging and backing up can really be hard. You need to learn how to properly use your mirrors and look both ways.

In conclusion, I have had window tint on all of my cars so far, and am very happy doing it. Just be sure to know the risks involved.  Do all the research now and get no surprises later. Enjoy your sweet looking ride.

I must say that over the last few years I have apparently gotten pulled over for no other reason besides my window tint.  While it is annoying, I have nothing to hide and do not really mind.  It just gives the cops a reason to stop a suspicious looking car or truck.  The key is to avoid getting fined, be sure to mention you are unaware of the tint laws.  Many times cops cannot see in these cars and feel threatened. Make sure you turn on your inside lights and fully cooperate with the officer.  Many times, they may just let you go with a warning.

It is very easy to see why cops are leery of cars with tint on them.  People can hide guns, weapons, among other things without any one being able to see them.  While the look of a car with the windows dark looks awesome, you must consider some of the consequences of doing so.

They use window tint tools that they keep in order to determine if you are compliant with the applicable laws on tints in your area. Each state is different so be sure to check your local ordinances to be certain of your rights and know the laws before they bite you in the back.

If it is thought your tints are too dark, they will bring out the window tint meter and test it to see what it rates at. Normally, anything under 50% will cause a fine, but they might let you off with a warning. Note that 0% is the darkest and anything over 50% does not even look tinted in my opinion. Some people go with 35% and it does not look too dark and most cops do not really mind. You can get your own meter and test it yourself if you want, but most just take a chance and drive around with their tints and hope for the best.

I want to talk about the reason why putting window tint on a car with chrome rims almost always looks awesome.  Like I said before, it is all about contrast or matching.  Your car or truck with auto tint will look best if there is some contrast to go along with the color.  Tint is normally jet black, so shiny chrome wheels normally make a good combination since they play off of each other.  It is hard to explain, but maybe someday I will post some pictures up here.

On a side note, green cars really do not look that great with chrome rims or window tint.  Maybe it is just  me, but I have seen very few greenish type vehicles that look sweet.  If I am wrong point me in the right direction.

Be prepared to clean your wheels though. Nothing is worse than dirty chrome, so if you do not want to put forth the effort go with a silver or aluminum wheel.  It is worth it though to go chrome, unless you are very lazy.

Black cars with a nice tint job really stand out, as I have seen in the past, and combining them with chrome wheels provides a great combination. You can really improve the looks and length of quality looking rims by making sure you clean them at least one or twice a week, and even taking them off during the winter. They could rust or get all pitted or corroded if you do not do anything and leave them on all year round. Do not do this to your pricey investment as they will look bad too. It only takes a few minutes to shine up your wheels and protect them with special products or just plain wax during the winter months.

The same can be said for white cars, maybe I am just biased though!
