Why tint your windows?

Chicago summers turn a parked car into an oven, and winter sun bounces off the snow straight into your eyes. Good window film blocks most of the heat and UV coming through the glass, cuts glare, keeps your interior from fading and cracking, and adds privacy so your stuff isn't on display.

  • Cooler cabin and less work for your A/C
  • UV protection for you and your interior
  • Less glare day and night
  • Privacy and a cleaner, finished look

Choosing your shade

Tint is measured in VLT, the percentage of visible light that passes through. Lower numbers are darker: 70% is barely noticeable, 35% is the classic balanced look, 20% is dark and private, and 5% is limo. Illinois limits how dark some windows can be and the rules differ between sedans and SUVs, so we'll walk you through what's legal for your vehicle and show you real samples before we start.

What to expect

Most tint jobs are done the same day. We prep and clean every window, cut the film to fit, and finish every edge tight with no bubbles or gaps. After the install, give the film a few days to cure before rolling the windows down. We'll tell you exactly how long based on your car and the weather.
