Ack Attack Post 42: Window Tiniting

Window tinting can come stock on some vehicles and generally does on Acuras, but some people like for the tint to be darker than what the manufacturer recommends. There are all kinds of small shops which can put tinting in cars, you just have to make sure they can do it right. If you put the tint in wrong, there can be bubbles, lines, etc. which makes it hard for the driver to see. I would definitely recommend letting a professional put on the tint because it's just too easy to screw up.

Tint comes in all kinds of colors and shades. Keep in mind though, some tint that it considered too dark is also considered illegal. Most people who install tint will get a shade of black or blue - like in a Mercedes. Others, who are a bit more adventurous, go for the shiny colors or the silvers, pinks, and purples. In my opinion, that looks absolutely horrid and should never have been made. Just keep in mind what other people are going to think of your car once you have the tint on. Yes, tinting does help to keep your car cooler and the leather seats from burning you quite so badly, but if it's too dark, you'll get a ticket for it.
