"I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Legend 7!! Joey is one of the most helpful and kind shop owners I've ever met, and all the staff and mechanics are all extremely skilled and hospitable. They helped me choose the perfect color for my new car and it’s absolutely stunning and even better than I could've ever imagined. The attention to detail is unreal, every single edge and curve was wrapped absolutely flawlessly. I love how my car looks so much that I find excuses to drive it every chance I get. The whole process was smooth, professional, and a pleasure from start to finish. Come here if you want spectacular service at a phenomenal price!!"

"I took my car in to get it wrapped with paint protection film, ceramic coated and tinted the car and let me just say in all my experiences I have never met and dealt with such an amazing team. Each and everyone of them took such good care of my car , explained the process , did such an amazing job and had the best price in town. They treat you like family not a customer and they are AMAZING. I 100% recommend Alan and his team. I’m a customer for life without a doubt and would never go anywhere else …….."

"Freddie and his team couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I have tried a few different places in LA, and Santa Monica Car Sound was the only one to truly help me find the best price for a new radio system. It is the best service in LA and has the best prices by far. Freddie and his team are all great people. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

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.

How much does car window tinting cost?

Standard window tint cost for cars typically runs $200-$300, while premium ceramic or IR films cost $350-$500. Front side windows, which must meet the state's 70% VLT requirement, average $60-$90 per window. The average cost to tint car windows in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco tends to be 10-20% higher than in suburban areas. SUVs and larger vehicles add $50-$100 to the total.
