These dogs won’t need window tint

We normally recommend fitting window tint if you carry your dog around lots in your car. It helps keep them cool especially on a sunny day (although you should never leave a dog in a car on a hot day).

However, a charity in New Zealand is now actually training dogs how to drive cars, and by the looks of it they’ll probably be able to fit their own window tint soon enough!

Window tints from the SEMA Show, Las Vegas

We visited the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last week, the world’s largest automotive trade show with over 2000 exhibitors.

There were representatives from many of the leading car window tint manufacturers including SunTek, Llumar and SunGuard.

Also on show were 1000′s of modified cars – we’ve selected a few below due to the great use of coloured window tint (although we wouldn’t recommend a green mirrored tint on the front windscreen when driving on the road!).

Dangers of cheap car window tint

When thinking about tinting your car, you may be tempted to go for the cheapest roll or pre cut kit you can find. The problem with cheap window tint is that it is a false economy.

Over a short period of time (weeks or months), cheap window film will start to crack, peel away from your car windows and turn purple. What makes it worse is that this type of tint is extremely hard to remove from your windows meaning you’ll be left with a bad tint job that you can’t replace or have to spend ages getting it off realising you should have spent that bit extra in the first place! The pictures show the results of fitting some cheap tint.

We use a professional grade window tint for all of our pre cut kits which is manufactured by SunTek who are one of the industry leaders in professional grade window film, along with Llumar and SolarGard.

Our tint (if installed correctly) will not crack, peel, or turn purple whilst it is on your car.

Car window tinting tips – choosing a tint shade

We often get asked by people purchasing our pre cut car window tinting kits which shade of tint we would recommend for them.

It all depends on the reasons for your tinting your car. If you are applying tint for security, to stop people seeing into your car, or are going for a blacked out look when styling your car, then we would recommend our 5% limo tint. At night when it is dark this can reduce visibility from inside the car out of the rear windows so this is something to bear in mind.


Ford Focus (5% Limo Rear)

Our most popular shade by far is our 20% dark smoke tint. It gives a good balance between style and practicality and in our opinion is the best looking shade.


Ford Focus (20% Dark Smoke Rear)

If you are going for a more subtle look, or if you just want the health benefits of tint without going too dark, then our 35% light smoke of 50% light smoke tint shades would be the best option for you.


Fiat Grande Punto (35% Light Smoke Rear)

Remember – whichever shade you use, all of our films block out 99% of harmful UV rays and reflect the heat of the sun, keeping your car cool on a sunny day.

You can use our tint simulator to see how different shades look on our car.
