Genesis GV80 Window Tinting with Blockfordy Sky Blue Film
A newly delivered Genesis GV80 recently received a specialized window tinting treatment using the popular Blockfordy Sky Blue film. This choice enhances both the vehicle's aesthetics and its functionality. This review details the installation process, the film's performance, and its benefits for GV80 owners. The service was performed in Ansan, South Korea, and the cost for tinting typically ranges from 300,000 to 700,000 KRW (approximately $220-$510 USD), depending on the vehicle's grade and the specific film chosen. In addition to tinting, this particular GV80 also had genuine side steps installed, further improving its practicality.
Why Choose Blockfordy Sky Blue Ceramic Tint?
The Blockfordy Sky Blue film is a favored option among car owners due to its superior performance and distinctive color. It goes beyond basic UV blocking by offering a high Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER) rate, which significantly reduces interior heat buildup during warmer months, potentially improving fuel efficiency. Key performance metrics for this film, using a 30% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) for the front windshield as an example, include a TSER of over 70% and a UV Rejection (UVR) rate exceeding 99%. The subtle sky blue hue adds a touch of sophistication to the vehicle's exterior. This high level of performance helps minimize glare for the driver, maintains a comfortable cabin environment, and enhances privacy and security.
Genesis GV80 Side Step Installation
For the Genesis GV80, genuine side steps can be retrofitted even if not originally specified. This installation enhances ease of entry and exit. The process at the Ansan facility, equipped with a lift, ensures a safe and precise fit. The genuine TUIX side steps were installed, providing a seamless integration with the vehicle's design. The installation typically takes about 2 to 3 hours. Proper torque is applied to all bolts for secure mounting. Maintenance involves regular cleaning with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh detergents.
Installation Process:
- Thorough cleaning and preparation of all glass surfaces.
- Precise cutting and application of the tint film to each window.
- Careful drying and smoothing to ensure a flawless finish.
