"I chose 35% tint for my Chevy Bolt and the installation looks like it came from the factory, it looks that clean. Perfectly light tint too, I can see out my car just like before. But most, I love how much cooler the heat blocking tint they installed makes my car. I noticed it as soon as I got in, if you're a road warriors definitely get the heat blocking tint!"

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.
