Kia Tasman New Car Package: Glasstint Sunset tint & FineVu LX7 dashcam installed. Enhances privacy, heat rejection, and records journeys.
Kia Tasman New Car Package Overview
The Kia Tasman, presented in the striking 'Cityscape Green' color, recently received a comprehensive new car package. This package focused on enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of Kia's first pickup truck. The owner opted for a premium Glasstint Sunset reflective tint, a sleek FineVu LX7 mirror dashcam, and essential paint protection film (PPF) for daily wear and tear. Before any work commenced, a battery charger was connected to prevent discharge, a standard procedure for all new car installations.
Glasstint Sunset Reflective Tint Installation
The Glasstint Sunset film was chosen for its dual benefits: superior privacy and excellent heat rejection, all while adding a sophisticated reflective finish to the 'Cityscape Green' Tasman. This film contains metallic elements, requiring careful heat application during installation to prevent 'blooming' or hazing on the film's surface. Our technicians meticulously controlled the heat gun to ensure the film conformed naturally to the glass contours without stress. Post-molding, the film is precisely cut on a dedicated table to eliminate any risk of scratching the vehicle's glass with a blade. The installation environment was meticulously controlled to minimize dust ingress, ensuring a flawless finish. This detailed process results in a tint that offers clear visibility from the inside while providing excellent heat insulation and a stylish exterior look.
FineVu LX7 Mirror Dashcam & PPF Application
For recording and protection, a FineVu LX7 mirror dashcam was integrated. This unit features QHD resolution for the front camera and FHD for the rear, offering clear footage. Its design allows it to be mounted seamlessly onto the existing rearview mirror, maintaining a clean, factory-like appearance without obstructing the driver's view. A notable feature is the detachable front camera lens, enabling optimal positioning for the best recording angle. Integrated GPS provides accurate location data. The wiring was carefully managed using sound-deadening materials to prevent any rattling or noise. Additionally, a protective Paint Protection Film (PPF) was applied to high-touch areas prone to scratches, such as the door sills, which are particularly susceptible on taller vehicles like the Tasman during entry and exit.
