SAVINGS—$200-$300 annual AC fuel savings (less AC = better mpg), interior preservation worth $2,000+ (prevents cracked dash, faded seats), resale value boost $500-$1,000 (buyers pay premium for tinted vehicles). DURABILITY—quality ceramic tint lasts 10-15+ years, lifetime warranty options, one investment decades of returns.
