Hyundai Staria New Car Package: Quantum Tint & Z9000 Dashcam
This Hyundai Staria Quantum, acquired for corporate use, received a comprehensive new car package including premium Quantum tinting and the Inavi Z9000 dashcam. The owner, already satisfied with Quantum tinting on a previous vehicle, opted for the same high-quality treatment for this new Staria. The package was completed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a flawless finish.
The tinting specifications were set at 28% for the front windshield and 14% for the side and rear windows. It's important to note that the Staria's glass panels can exhibit slight color variations due to manufacturing differences, with the front row often using higher quality glass. This was taken into account when determining the optimal tint percentages to ensure a uniform appearance.
Vehicle Inspection and Tinting Process
The vehicle inspection phase was particularly thorough, involving several adjustments and even a vehicle exchange to meet the owner's exacting standards. Working closely with the owner, we ensured every detail was perfect before proceeding with the new car package, starting with the crucial tinting application. The Solargard Premium Quantum film, constructed using a full metal sputtering method without dyes, guarantees long-term color stability and consistent heat rejection, resisting fading and deformation over time.
While the 28% tint on the expansive Staria windshield might appear slightly lighter from the inside, it effectively maintains privacy from the exterior. The 14% tint on the sides and rear further enhances this privacy. The slight color variance between the first-row glass and the subsequent rows is a characteristic of the Staria model, which the tinting process helps to harmonize.
The Quantum film's thin adhesive layer contributes to exceptional clarity, providing a clear view in various driving conditions. Despite being a reflective film, it avoids the unnatural look often associated with such films. Its durability and performance have earned high satisfaction among discerning car owners.
Inavi Z9000 Dashcam Installation
The Inavi Z9000 2-channel dashcam was installed to provide essential recording capabilities for daily driving. It features a QHD front camera and an FHD rear camera, offering crisp video quality. The integrated LCD screen allows for easy setting adjustments and immediate playback of recorded footage. A convenient storage function enables users to save important clips separately.
The night vision feature of the Z9000 proved particularly impressive during testing, delivering excellent clarity even in low-light conditions. Given the vehicle's daily use, a battery pack was considered but ultimately not installed, focusing instead on the core recording functionality.
Installation Process:
- Thorough vehicle inspection to identify any pre-existing imperfections.
- Meticulous cleaning and preparation of all glass surfaces.
- Precise application of Solargard Quantum tint film to the windshield, side, and rear windows.
- Professional installation of the Inavi Z9000 dashcam, including wiring and mounting.
- Final inspection to ensure optimal clarity, adhesion, and functionality of all installed components.
