Auto window tinting is one of the ways of improving the look of the car and at the same time increase its privacy. While the technique has been around for a long time, there is a lot of misconception about it. To help you out, here are a few things you should know about it:

The tinting material won’t completely hide you from the outside

The window film increases the privacy of the car, but it doesn’t hide you from the inside. Depending on the material you have used, people will be able to see the outlines of the inside of the car, but not the details. The tinting becomes useless at night when you have the lights on inside the car.

You can’t lose your insurance due to tinting

Many people have the impression that an insurance company will avoid insuring them if they install the car window tinting material. There is nothing that is further from the truth than this. The only reason the insurance company can refuse to insure your car is if you have installed the wrong shade of tint.

If you have never tinted your car before you should know that different states have different requirements when it comes to car tinting. Some of the states will require you to use a tinting material of a given color. When you choose a different color, you will be on the wrong side of the law.

When installing the tinting material, first check with the state laws and ensure that you are installing the right one.

Window tinting won’t lower the resale value of the car

Since you will be tampering with the original look of the car, some people have the impression that they will affect the cost of the car. This is wrong. While you might lower the value of the car if the tinting work is unprofessionally done thus giving your car a cheap look, it’s rare that it will have an impact on it.

If you are planning on reselling the car and the buyer doesn’t want the tinted look, you should just remove it.
