window tints for the car?
What benefit are the tinted windows going to give to your car apart from making it look stylish? 
The less direct sunlight that gets into the car,less time cooling off the car. This helps you get better gas mileage on your vehicle. If the car is cooler when you enter it, it takes less air conditioning to cool it off!

UV Penetration of Auto Glass
Remember, UV radiation is present in the sun’s rays throughout the year in varying amounts. Ordinary car window glass filters out about 97% of the UV-B radiation and about 37% of UV-A radiation. It is approximately equivalent to a good sunscreen, which means that if you’re sitting in the sun during a long trip you could still get burnt from the amount of radiation coming through the glass. Laminated windscreens block all of the UV-B radiation and about 80% of the UV-A radiation “. Most tints will block a large percentage of UV heat radiation, and in my opinion this is their biggest asset to vehicle owners.
