Choosing the Right Window Tint Shade for Your Car

Choosing the Right Window Tint Shade for Your Car

Picking a tint shade off a VLT number alone rarely works, because the same percentage looks different on every car. Here is how to choose well.

What VLT actually means

VLT is the percentage of visible light the film lets through. A lower number is darker. 35% is on the lighter side, 5% is limo dark.

Your glass changes the look

Factory privacy glass, the angle of your windows, and your paint color all change how a given VLT reads. That is why a number alone is not enough.

See it on real glass

We keep samples you can hold up against your actual windows, so you see the real result before anything is installed.

Balance look and legality

We help you land on a shade that gets the look you want while keeping your front windows Nevada-legal.

Come see the shades on your own glass. Call to stop by.
