"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."

"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!"

Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches.
