"Driving my 2025 Toyota Camry SE has never felt more exciting, thanks to the ambient lighting kit installed by Teddy and his team. The transformation was absolutely stunning—it completely changed the mood inside the car, creating a sleek and modern vibe. The installation was flawless, with each LED strip neatly placed for an OEM look that blends seamlessly with the car’s interior. Even better, the entire process was completed within the same day, showcasing the team’s efficiency and attention to detail. Teddy’s craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations."

"Dmitriy Romanenko: I took my Tesla Model Y Performance to City Auto Spa for front window tinting and was thoroughly impressed. I chose a 35% ceramic tint and Irving handled the job. His work on the alignment, cutting, and application was impeccable. The entire job took just 2 hours and the results were flawless."

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.
