"I went to Apex to lift my 1995 Land Cruiser and Manny was very knowledgeable about all of the different options for my car. He got me a great deal on a set of method wheels and an old man emu lift at half the price of any other shop in the area. Thank you Apex!"

Installation was as clean as it gets, and done for an amazing price. The customer service at this place is TOP NOTCH. This is the second time I've taken a vehicle to LB Audio Shop, and will continue to recommend family and friends to this place."

"The customer service I received was excellent and the cost was right; the team (Jayer and Alex) demonstrated a thorough understanding of how to apply Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coating to my SUV (GX460). They explained each step of the process clearly, ensuring I understood the benefits and care involved. Their expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence that my vehicle was in good hands."

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.
