Pros and Cons of Car Window Tinting in Pakistan
Car window tinting is popular in Pakistan for reducing heat and adding privacy, but it has drawbacks. From Hyderabad’s sunny roads to Lahore’s urban streets, here’s a balanced look, with options on Gomechanic.in.
Pros:
- Heat Reduction: Tinting blocks 50% of heat, keeping cars cool in Karachi summers. Films (PKR 8,000) from 3M are effective.
- Privacy: Dark tints deter theft in Islamabad.
- UV Protection: Blocks 99% UV rays, protecting interiors in Multan.
Cons:
- Legal Limits: Pakistan restricts tint darkness (70% light transmission for front windows). Fines in Faisalabad are common.
- Cost: Quality films cost PKR 10,000+, pricey for budget drivers.
- Visibility: Dark tints reduce night vision, risky on rural roads.
Choosing Films: Ceramic tints (PKR 12,000) are durable; dyed films (PKR 6,000) are cheaper but fade. Check Autostore.pk for options.
Installation: Professional tinting (PKR 2,000) ensures bubble-free results. DIY risks damage.
