"Absolutely amazing experience! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Adrian and the team at Blackout Tinting were extremely professional, experienced, and true masters of their craft. I brought in my Dad's 87 Nissan, that I recently purchased. They stayed as true to it's original form as possible, and I love it! They went above and beyond with all of the details, and kept in constant communication. Thank you so much for such an incredibly, wonderful experience. You have no idea how much this has meant to myself and my family!"

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.
