2021 Lamborghini Huracán Evo

A full satin blue wrap taken off panel by panel and the original paint brought back out. Removal is its own skill: heat, patience, and adhesive work that leaves the clear coat exactly as it was found.

The films

Watch it get
put on.

Two minutes in the shop. Shot on site — the cars, the bays and the crew are all ours.

Silent by design — tap to play

How it goes

Five steps.
No surprises.

Whether film still looks right in year four is decided almost entirely before any of it comes off the roll.

01

Text us the car

Year, make and model, whether there is film on it already, and which windows you want done. That is enough for a real price.

02

Pick the film

We show you the shades on your own glass and tell you what each one actually does to the heat — and what is street legal in California.

03

Glass gets prepped

Every window is cleaned inside and out and scraped down. Anything left on that glass is under your tint for the life of the car.

04

Cut and install

Film is cut to your vehicle and laid to the edge of the glass. Windshields go on in one piece. One car at a time.

05

Checked under the lights

Every window is inspected before you see it, and you get told exactly how long to leave the windows up while it cures.

I’m very happy with how my car came out!! These guys have great customer service and made it convenient for me. Gave me an amazing deal and they were able to pick up my car while I was working and return it as well, which was super helpful given I work full time.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much does window tint cost?

It depends on the vehicle, how many windows, and which film you want. A coupe with four small windows is a different job to a truck with a wraparound rear glass, and nano-ceramic IR film costs more than an entry-level ceramic. Text us the year, make and model along with which windows you want done and you will get a real number, not a range.

How long does it take?

Most single-vehicle tint jobs are done the same day — often in a few hours. Wraps, PPF and ceramic coatings are multi-day, because the prep and the cure time cannot be rushed. You get a realistic window when we quote.

How dark can I legally go in California?

As dark as you like on the rear side windows and the rear glass. The front side windows have to let more than 70% of light through, and the windshield can take a strip down to the AS-1 line. We will tell you exactly where that leaves you before anything is cut.

Will tint kill my phone signal?

Not with the film we use. That was a real problem with old metallic tints, which are effectively a thin metal layer across your glass. Nano-ceramic film rejects heat without any metal in it, so phone, GPS and tyre-pressure sensors are unaffected.

Do you remove old tint?

Yes. Removal is priced separately because it is genuinely more work than a fresh install, especially on rear glass where the defroster lines will lift with the film if it is pulled dry. We steam it off and clean the adhesive properly.

Does tint really make a difference to heat?

A large one, and it is the part customers comment on first. Rejecting infrared is what stops the cabin turning into an oven while the car is parked — the darker look is a side effect, not the mechanism. That is also why a light ceramic film can outperform a much darker cheap one.
