Tinting your windows also helps your leather seats last a lot longer and not have cracking due to the harmful UV rays of the sun...

It also keeps your car cool during hot weather and not have to worry about sunburns if you sit in your car for extended period of time.

Better get some free oil changes at the very least.

That's really strange. Is that a picture of the loaner car?

It also helps lighten the load on your wallet from the tickets the cops give you.

Yeah that really sucks, happened to my last car few years back. I had tinted windows but left my Blackberry in the car at night I guess that little red blinking led gave it away and they smashed my window to get it.
Replacing the window cost more than that stupid phone. Inconveniencing for those that have a productive life.

Even ordinary glasses will block most UV, let alone the Infiniti has UV reduction glasses which supposedly work even better. Tint to keep interior cooler, yes, block UV? Only if there's any left.

Uhh, you can still tint your windows within legal limits...Not every single tint is illegal.

Why do you think tints make the car cooler? Where do you think the heat comes from? Radiation from different harmful rays emitted from the sun. There are different types of UV, and simple auto glass does not block all of them.

Simple physics.

^^ Simple physics, huh? For the sake of others, heat does not tan you, UV does. Have I ever mentioned "simple" glass blocks all of them? If you have trouble with whatever leftover UV after the glass, you got a problem. G37 has UV reduction glass better than "simple" glass I suppose. Tint your windows all you want for cooler interior, but don't spread misconception.
