"I recently took my 2025 KIA Sorento in to have the windows tinted and all the chrome blacked out, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! This guy is a true master of his craft, which is hard to come by these days. The attention to detail and quality of work exceeded my expectations. My car looks amazing, and it’s clear that he takes pride in delivering top-notch service. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their vehicle stand out with professional, flawless 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.
