"I took my GT3RS & my dad’s McLaren 750s. Naithan and Rami did an amazing job wrapping my GT3RS in chalk. They also did a full PPF on my dad’s 750s and ceramic coated the whole car. I was quoted over 15k for the PPF job and CM was able to get it done for $7500. I was quoted $8000+ for my GT3RS wrap and CM was able to get it done for $4800 and I had the car back in 4 days only! I highly recommend these guys. They are very honest and reasonable. Thank you CM for taking care of us."

Window Tinting Laws in California

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through
Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.
