What to expect
We tint cars, trucks, and SUVs with premium ceramic and carbon film — no cheap dyed tint that turns purple in the Florida sun. Every install is done indoors, cut to your exact glass, and finished with clean edges and no gaps. Most vehicles are done the same day in about 2 to 3 hours.
Tint isn't just about looks. In Cape Coral heat, the right film keeps your interior cooler, protects your dash and seats from UV damage, cuts glare, and adds privacy — while staying inside Florida's legal limits.
Ceramic vs. carbon tint: which is right for you?
| Feature | Carbon | Ceramic |
|---|---|---|
| Heat / infrared rejection | Very good | Best |
| UV protection | 99% | 99% |
| Fades purple over time | No | No |
| Phone / GPS signal friendly | Yes | Yes |
| Best for Florida heat | Great value | Top choice |

Is my tint legal in Florida?
Florida sets how dark you can legally go, measured by how much light the film lets through (VLT):
- Sedans: front side windows over 28% VLT; back side and rear windows over 15%.
- SUVs & vans: front side windows over 28%; back side and rear any darkness.
- Windshield: non-reflective tint allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
We install every job street-legal by default. If you carry a Florida medical exemption, we can go darker — bring your paperwork. Full breakdown on our Florida window tint law guide.
