"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."

"Benjamin “azzyquemint” Rapp: Above and beyond from start to finish. Went out of their way to squeeze me in for an emergency cleaning (I'm an Uber and Lyft driver; a customer had vomited in my car), cleaned more than I asked them to and did it all very well, cut me a bargain and even gave me a little bit of scented spray for the road."

"Jasper Taunt: Just got my car back, I got a tint a new head unit and my sub installed as well as a few extras for my 2010 Subaru WRX! This is my review from the over all service I got from mark who was very happy to help me get done exactly what i wanted, and the pricing is really the best for getting custom work done, their audio guy jimmy did a super clean install as well, im very happy and would recommend others to get work done at this shop. I will be referring people for sure! There was a bit of goo left over from the tint, it would have been nice to make sure that was cleaned up but not a big deal at all, they also have a lifetime warranty on the tint and 1 year on the stereo work."

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.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
