Frequently Asked Questions:
 
What are my tint color options?

There are five tint colors/shades to choose from:

• Clear
• Light
• Medium
• Dark
• Limousine, also referred to as “limo”.

All colors of tint block out 99% of UVA and UVB rays.

 
What shade is best for me?

The shades you choose should be based on what function or benefits your trying to accomplish by installing tint. In other words:

• For privacy or security, go with the dark or “limo” tint.
• For optimum visibility during the day and at night, choose light to medium tint. For a factory installed look, or a solid profile, choose medium for all windows.

You can also mix up the shades by installing light in the front two windows and dark on the back half. The shade you choose does not affect the price.

 
Will tinted windows inhibit my visibility at night?

Dark or “limo” tint will decrease your car’s visibility at night. With dark or “limo” tinting on the vehicle’s back windows, things like reversing the car or parallel parking will be more difficult. At night we rely on our side mirrors and peripheral vision to recognize traffic around us, so it is advisable to not install anything darker than a medium on the front to doors. In addition, some law enforcement jurisdictions prohibit certain shades of tint from being used on the front two doors. In California it is illegal to install any tint on the front doors with more than 5% gradient. You should consider the tint laws applicable in your state.
 
Will window tinting affect the performance of my car’s satellite systems?
