"The guys did an amazing job on my car. From the initial estimate to picking up the car Kevin and his team were absolute professionals. I was walked through the process of what would be happening over the next few days while they had the car. They helped me decide what was the right level protection with the end result I was looking for. I will be returning with future vehicles, and I would recommend Elite Finishes to anyone looking. My cars finish looks better than showroom fresh."

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.
