Many of you have seen cars driving down the road and thought, wow, look how much better that car looks. Generally, cars with tinted windows do look better, as the dark window contrasts with the body and gives it a very cool appearance. You may be asking yourself that auto tint is not legal.
Well, it depends, sometimes it is against the law if you tint them too dark. However, my experience has shown that if you are not breaking any other traffic rules will cops pull you over just for the tint. Maybe I have been lucky though.
One advantage of window tint is that it provides more shade in the summer and can keep your car cooler. Also, it reflects much of the light easing the strain on your eyes. Many times, I do not even have to wear sunglasses, unless the sun angle is really low. In the winter, some say the tint acts as an insulator and can keep the heat in better. I have never noticed this so it may or may not be true.
Another advantage of auto tint is that is just looks cool. Most cars look tons better with tinted windows. This is especially true with black or white cars. To see for yourself, just look up images online and see the difference. You will be amazed how much better your car would look with window tint.
I was always skeptical of window tint and being able to not see out of the car at night. While it is harder, if you do not tint them too dark you can still see fine. Just be careful backing up or turning if you cannot see 100%.
Some people try to window tint their own car, and all I can say is good luck. I will post another article on why this is so difficult, but for now do not try it.
