"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!!"

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.
