■Vehicles with tinted windows offer passengers increased coolness (temperature- and style-wise), by getting the car cabin to a comfortable temperature faster.
■Air-conditioning systems operate more efficiently because window tint blocks out a significant amount of sunlight-generated heat.
■Your eyes will feel a whole lot better due to reduced glare from sun, snow or other driver’s headlights. Plus, tinted windows help block damaging UV rays, which are linked to many health hazards.
■Interior fabric will be better protected from fading while leather surfaces will be more resistant to cracking.
