Try a shade

How dark do you want to go?

Tint is rated by how much light it lets through. The lower the number, the darker the film. Tap a shade to see how the view out your window changes, and whether it's legal on your front side windows in Texas.

25%+

Front side windows

Any

Rear side windows & back glass

Why 30% and not 25%?

Factory glass isn't perfectly clear. It already blocks some light. Put 25% film on it and the finished window reads darker than 25%, which fails the Texas limit. So we use a slightly lighter 30% film on front side windows, and the finished window stays legal.

Two film lines

Carbon vs. ceramic

Both come in every shade and carry the same lifetime warranty. The difference is how much heat they stop. IR is the infrared heat you feel on your skin, so that's the number to compare.

Carbon

  • Clean, matte look

FAQ

Good questions

How dark can I legally tint my windows in Texas?

Front side windows must be 25% or lighter. Rear side windows and the back glass can be any shade. A lot of customers go 30% on the front and 15% or 5% in the back.

Why do you use 30% film on the front windows instead of 25%?

Because factory glass isn't perfectly clear. Even glass that looks clear already blocks some light. If 25% film goes over it, the finished window reads below 25%, which is under the Texas limit for front side windows. A slightly lighter 30% film keeps the finished window legal.

What's the difference between carbon and ceramic?

Both look great and come in every shade. Ceramic blocks a lot more infrared heat, so your car stays noticeably cooler. Carbon is the lower-priced option with solid heat and glare relief.

What does the warranty cover?

Every install carries a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and color change.

Will tint mess with my phone, radio, or Bluetooth?

No. Our films don't interfere with radio, cell signal, or Bluetooth.

How is the film cut?

Patterns are cut digitally to fit your exact vehicle, and the rear glass is done in one piece of film for a clean, seamless look.
