What are reasonable window tint prices?
Oddly, this is a even harder subject than explaining how window film works.
The price for a car tint can vary dramatically from the cheapest fly-by-night tint shop from $100 to the luxury tint shop's $400 or more or merely $80 for a DIY car tint kit.
For each of these situations, the price can be considered reasonable.
If we really break it down, a reasonable price is depends on many factors:
Your Car Type
Quite simply, a small percentage of cars are harder to tint than others.
When getting a price quote, a tint shop always asks you for the make and model of your car.
This isn't to see how much money you have and charge you up the wazoo. (Often it is with less reputable tinters)
Tinters know which cars take more time to tint properly.
Some cars with steep and curved rear windows like the Volkswagon Beetle or Corvette tinters often charge a premium to tint. Additionally, each additional square foot of window on your vehicle requires more window film to tint. This makes tinting a SUV or station wagons cost more than sedans.
Type of Tinting Film
Just like comparing a Hyundai to a Porsche, there are wide performance and cost differences in tinting film.
The cheapest tinting film is many times less in price than top quality window film.
Again, you get what you pay for.
Cheap film may look good at the beginning, but they can fail to block the summer heat, fade, turn purple, or bubble soon after installation.
Higher quality window film such as fully-metallized sputtered or deposition window films like SolarGard HP films offer both advanced performance and a lifetime warranty.
These films are worth the higher price.
Performance Warranty
You are highly encouraged to ask about the Performance Warranty before you pay for tinting services from anybody.
Typically these Warranty's can last from as little as 1 year to a Lifetime.
Not all Warrantees are created equal!
Most warrantees only cover problems such as cracking, glazing, bubbling, and peeling.
Some films carry a "Color-Safe Warranty" that gives you peace of mind that if the color of your tint ever changes, it will be replaced.
The best warrantees are "Transferable" which allow you to transfer the warranty to another person when you sell the car.
This adds permanent value to your car.
Be Careful! Irresponsible tint shops can also offer "Lifetime Warrantees"; however, if they go out of business next year, who is there to replace your bubbling tint?
You should always factor in this "hidden" cost when buying low priced car tint.
Dealer's Reputation
Reputable Tint Shops take great pride in their work.
They have high standards in who they hire, the film they use, and overall customer service and experience.
Naturally, this increases the cost for them to do business, and they charge more as a result.
To make sure you are talking to a quality dealer, ask these questions when choosing a tint shop .

Kauai on 2 Wheels or More?
Kauai on 2 Wheels or More?
by: Steven Anderson
There is no better place to relax and unwind. Although I had mixed feelings about visiting this place myself, I would surely dare to say that it was an amazing visit that I would never forget. Kauai promises fun filled activities for the entire family. Although the entire island is so huge and there are so many activities and places worth visiting, a drive around the island is a must.
Roughly circular in shape, Kauai is 550 square miles in area and 32 miles in diameter. With little public transportation, rental cars are recommended, but getting around on Kauai is easy. Kauai's roads almost encircle the entire coastline only to stop at the formidable Na Pali Coast where building roads would be impossible. The breathtaking steep green cliffs of Na Pali provide a natural barrier, limiting access to one of the world's most awe-inspiring and primeval places to those walking, on helicopter or traveling...

Car Accident Injuries ? Causes and Preventive Measures
Car Accident Injuries ? Causes and Preventive Measures
by: John Schwartz
Car accidents that cause injuries have happened virtually since automobiles were invented.
The first recorded accidental injury occurred in 1869.
An Irish woman named Mary Ward was thrown out of the steam-powered carriage she was riding in when it hit an especially deep rut in the road.
She was immediately crushed by one of the wheels, her injuries causing an instantaneous death.
Her cousin had actually been the inventor of this new type of vehicle, in a cruel example of irony.
Over the last 25 years or so, car accident injuries resulting in deaths have declined an impressive 50% worldwide.
This is due primarily to increased emphasis by both governments and car manufacturers on safety, including the standard use of air bags to reduce the number of severe injuries and deaths caused by front and side car-to-car collisions.
