Investing In Incredible Auto Accessories

I have always been one of those people who loves riding in a car that looks as good as it operates, which was one of the reasons I started investing in auto accessories in the first place. It was really incredible to see how much of a difference new seat covers and a nicer gear shifter made, especially when it came to the first impressions other people had of my car, my lifestyle, and my personal attention to detail. This blog is all about investing in better auto accessories and knowing how to add them into your life without breaking the bank.

Benefits Of Tinting The Glass In Your Car

Adding window tinting to your car, truck, or SUV can have some benefits for you and your vehicle that may make it worth considering. Often, the tint level on the glass does not need to be overly dark, as long as the tint filters the ultraviolet light coming into the car. 

Ultraviolet Light

Vehicles with a lot of glass will typically let more light in, but in the summer or if you live in an area that is hot all year long, that can make it hot inside the car. Even cars with good air conditioning can struggle to keep the vehicle cool because of the amount of ultraviolet light coming into the vehicle.

The glass will intensify the sunlight as it passes through the window, but adding some window tinting that filters UV light can reduce the heat and make the car more comfortable inside. Reducing the UV light does not mean making the car so dark that you can't see out of the glass, and often good window tinting will be light and still have a high level of UV filtering. 

Ultraviolet light damages the interior causes fading of the fabrics and dash, and is also the light that causes sunburns and skin cancers, so the more you can filter out of the car, the better. If you are not sure how much tint you need, a tint shop can help you select the right product for your vehicle.

Security and Window Tinting

There are some situations where dark window tinting is practical, and often it is used to provide security inside a vehicle. If the passenger in the vehicle needs a high level of security or privacy, adding a dark tint to the glass makes it difficult for people outside the vehicle to see inside. 

If you can not see inside the car, there is no way to tell if the person is in the vehicle or not, and in some situations, that tactic is used to provide some confusion and misdirection. Celebrities often have cars with a dark tint so that people will not know if they are in a car when it is coming and going from their home or an event.

There are limited levels of window tinting allowed in most states, so it is essential that you check with local authorities if you are considering a dark tint for security or privacy. You may need to get a waiver to have the dark tint installed on the vehicle and to keep from being fined later for the tint level.
