While there may be some disadvantages to tinting your windows, the advantages outweigh them, heavily. Here are some disadvantages you may want to consider before getting your windows tinted:
Reduced nighttime visibility
It is true that car window tint does darken your visibility due to the overlay across your windshield and windows. But, you will still be able to see just fine through your windows and windshield at night even after a “dark” window tinting.
The reason for tinting your windows are vast, but the common reasons we hear from our customers:
These are all great reasons to get your car windows tinted.
Potential legal issues
There are laws around window tinting. This means that even if your car windows are legally tinted, you may get some attention from the “authorities.”
What does this mean? You may get stopped for your tint being “too dark,” or “darker than the legal limit.”
While the person who stopped you may say that, you are 100% allowed to tint your windows within the legal limit.
You may have one or two discussions per year with the “authorities,” but it’s nothing to worry about, even if they do cite you for something that isn’t true. You can take your receipt and “proof of tint” to your hearing and get it thrown out.
We have to mention: we are not lawyers. Nothing you read in this article or on our website is legal advice. Seek professional legal advice if you need it.
Tint can fade over time
Yes, tints can fade over time, but properly installed tints will last for years (maybe a decade, depending on light and temperature exposure over time). You will want to get your tint redone every 3-7 years if you plan on keeping your car for that long.
When you get your windows tinted, you’re increasing privacy, improving car appeal, and decreasing internal car temperature with a simple, effective car window tint.
There are dozens of reasons why people get their car windows tinted, but here are the top three car window tint advantages we want you to know about:
Increase Privacy Inside My Car
It’s no surprise more people want to increase the privacy inside their car. It is your car, and it is your property. More theft occurs on vehicles without tint than with car window tint. Why? Because thieves can see inside the car before they break into it. This gives criminals the advantage to know if it’s worth trying to get inside your car.
Also, if you’re in a public place, you don’t want people peering into your car, whether they do it accidentally or on purpose. This is your car, your property. Keep prying eyes out with a good window tint.
Increase Car Appeal
Vehicles with tinted windows instantly gain status points to onlookers. What you cannot see makes you wonder who is inside the car. This is a proven psychological concept rooted in our innate curiosity to discover the unknown.
When you tint your car windows, you increase your car appeal (and driver’s status) because people want to know who’s inside the vehicle.
Decrease Internal Car Temperature
Car window tint does help keep the heat out of the car. The tint deflects UV light from the sun, which decreases the internal car temperature.
This helps make your car ride more comfortable to be in when the sun is out. Get stuck in traffic? You can probably leave your windows up without getting roasted.
When you get your car windows tinted, you’re doing more than making your car look cool. You’re increasing privacy and decreasing internal car temp, among dozens of other benefits.
Depends on how soon you roll your windows down after you get your car windows tinted
We advise that you give the tint at least 72 hours to completely cure before you roll down your windows. Most companies say 24 hours or so, but we want to make sure you’re not scraping your tint off before it cures. The adhesive needs time to dry and stick to your window before it’s strong enough to withstand your window rolling up and down.
Wait at least 72 hours after you get your car windows tinted before you roll them up and down.
No, they don’t.
The driver’s ability to make sound decisions while operating their vehicle is on them.
Car window tint law is put into place to make sure you and your passengers remain safe while driving. If car tint was as bad as you may have already read or seen somewhere else, then law would say we can’t tint windows at all. This is simply not true. You can get your car windows tinted without adding more risk to your drive.
We follow all legal guidelines and encourage those who are worried about car window tint affecting their driving abilities to not get their windows tinted. It’s that simple.
Car window tinting is more than applying tinting material to windshields and windows; it’s a serious decision you have to make for yourself and your vehicle.
We take your decision to tint or not to tint seriously, too.
