"I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to HADD Customs for the amazing paint protection film installation they did on my Lamborghini Huracan! I couldn't be happier with the results. Their team's attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship are second to none. My car looks stunning, and I feel more at ease knowing the paint is well-protected."

"I've brought my wife's Mustang and Civic in to get ceramic tint. Finally brought my Accord in after years of sitting in the sun with windows up. The tint was basically baked on the windows. and all I can say is Immaculate tinting done by Jose and his people. Came out perfect. Same as my last 2 vehicles."

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.
