Automotive window tint is perhaps the best aftermarket upgrade you can make to a vehicle in Louisiana. Car tinting keeps your vehicle cooler and more comfortable to operate even on the hottest days by blocking solar heat.
As a result, it reduces the damaging effects of UV light on the cabin’s interior, stopping the fading and cracking and discoloration that can greatly damage the looks of the car and that reduce its resale value. In most cases, window tint for cars in Louisiana will pay for itself many times over in preserved value. But as tickets for window tint violations in Louisiana quickly escalate in cost, soon reaching $350 per offense, it’s worth knowing the Louisiana Tint Laws.
Note that even highly transparent window tint can block 99% of the sun’s damaging UV light, can reduce interior heat, and can even reduce glare – don’t think you need dark privacy tint in order to get the primary benefits if window tint for vehicles. And if you do want a darker car window tint in Louisiana, just be sure you are aware of the laws.

If you’re driving a truck or SUV built in the last decade, chances are it’s equipped with factory tinted glass on all windows behind the front doors.
Many owners of vehicles like this often choose to only have the front windows tinted to match the back because they believe that they are already set with the rear windows.
While this factory tint improves the looks of the vehicle, and offers rear passengers some privacy, it does very little to help reduce the heat entering through the glass or protect them from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
The same also goes for heat rejection. Some assume that the level of heat rejection they will on the front glass is already present in the rear glass because of the factory tint. Nothing can be further from the truth. Other than having the tinted look, these windows do very little to stop the heat.
