but if you think about it...

if you tint them dark, they CAN'T see what you have inside.

My fathers truck was broken into, nothing to steal really. The cop said that it was probably because of the tint that it was broken into. But in my experience (working at a grocery store, in the parking lot alot), no one pays attention to car alarms anymore. Plus, if yours is going off and you're inside the mall or whatever, what's the point in it going off in the first place? Get the tint, you'll like it more.

They can see outside from the car.

Very dark tinted is way illegal in this state.

Tint 1st.....if you have nothing to steal then i wouldnt worry about an alarm......plus if you have good insurance then anything in the car other than CDs should be covered

I think that my tints just make it hotter in the car. I could just be crazy but don't darker things attract more sunlight? Know how it feels when you wear black in the sunlight?

Window film protects both you and your car from the damaging effects of the sun. With the ever-increasing breakdown of our ozone layer, dermatologists warn against over exposure to the sun. Polarized sunglasses protect the eyes, sunblock protects the skin, and window film protects the interior of your car.

The metalized film (won't turn purple!) can help too!

I got my tints done like 3 years ago or something and now they are just starting to look like ass. And yes, I am using an ammonia free glass cleaner.
