Why Choose TWT?
Precision-cut protection for the modern drive.
Digital Precision Cutting
At TWT, we believe a luxury vehicle deserves a perfect fit without the compromise of traditional methods. We never use blades on your glass. Instead, we utilize state-of-the-art digital plotter technology and a high-end database of vehicle patterns. This ensures a 100% factory-accurate fit tailored specifically to the blueprints of your vehicle, protecting delicate rubber seals and trim from the accidental nicks common with hand-cutting.
The Clean-Room Standard
Elite window tinting requires more than just skill—it requires a controlled environment. Our climate-controlled installation bay is a dust-filtered sanctuary designed to provide a wind-free, sterile setting. This allows us to virtually eliminate the bubbles, lint, and airborne debris that plague mobile services or outdoor applications, ensuring your finish is as flawless as your vehicle’s paint.
Tesla & Exotic Specialists
Hidden Hills is home to some of the most advanced engineering on the road. Modern vehicles, especially EVs like Teslas, Lucids, and Rivians, require a specialized touch. We are masters of the “One-Piece” rear window install for Tesla Model 3s, providing a seamless, gap-free appearance. Furthermore, we utilize specialized “Soak Ropes” and moisture-protection barriers to safeguard your sensitive dashboard electronics and sophisticated sensors during the application process.
Premium protection and custom styling for every surface.

Experience high-performance protection that complements the Hidden Hills lifestyle. Choose from our sleek Carbon series for a classic matte look or our elite, heat-crushing Nano-Ceramic film for the ultimate in thermal comfort and UV defense during those long valley summers.
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Give your vehicle invisible, self-healing armor. Our “Clear Bra” shields your hood, bumpers, and mirrors from the gravel and debris found on canyon roads. It is the gold standard for keeping your exotic or luxury vehicle’s factory paint in concours-level condition.
Ceramic Coating
Lock in a permanent showroom shine. Our professional-grade ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dust, and contaminants. It provides a deep, mirror-like gloss that makes maintaining your vehicle’s finish effortless, even in the dusty equestrian environment of the hills.
Vinyl Wrap
Completely transform your vehicle’s identity with unrivaled customization. We offer hundreds of premium finishes—from sophisticated satins and deep matte blacks to custom metallics—allowing you to change your car’s aesthetic while protecting the original paint underneath.
Chrome Delete
Modernize your vehicle’s aesthetic by “blacking out” dated chrome accents. We apply specialized vinyl to window trim, grilles, and emblems for a sleek, “Night Package” look that streamlines your car’s silhouette.

Residential Tinting
Protect your Hidden Hills estate. Our architectural films block solar heat and 99% of UV rays, preserving your high-end hardwood floors, fine art collections, and designer furniture from sun damage while significantly lowering your home’s cooling costs.
Commercial Tinting
Improve the efficiency and privacy of your home office or commercial space. Our specialized films reduce glare on digital displays and add a critical layer of security and professional style to your environment.

01
Decontamination
A flawless tint job starts with a clinical level of cleanliness. We begin with a multi-stage deep clean of your glass, focusing heavily on the surrounding gaskets where hidden debris resides. By removing every microscopic speck of dust, grease, and Canyon road grime, we create the pristine surface necessary for the permanent, museum-quality bond expected by our Hidden Hills clientele.
02
Digital Plotter Cutting
We believe in absolute preservation, which is why we never take a hand-held blade to your vehicle’s glass. Using state-of-the-art digital plotter technology, we pre-cut your film using your car’s exact factory software blueprints. This ensures a 100% accurate fit with zero risk of scratches to your glass, high-tech window defrosters, or sensitive luxury trim.
03
Clean-Room Application
Your tint is applied in our specialized, climate-controlled installation bay. Unlike mobile services that contend with the wind, dust, and pollutants of the San Fernando Valley, our facility maintains a sterile, dust-filtered environment. This controlled atmosphere allows us to eliminate the airborne debris and contamination that cause unsightly bubbles or “pepper” spots in the film.
04
Quality Inspection
Before we hand back your keys, our master technicians perform a rigorous 360-degree quality check. We inspect every edge, corner, and micro-gap under high-intensity lighting to guarantee a crystal-clear, distortion-free finish. If the installation does not meet our elite craftsmanship standards, it does not leave our studio.
Stay street-legal while driving through Los Angeles County.
0 1
Aftermarket tint is strictly prohibited on the main body of the windshield. California law permits a non-reflective tint strip (often called a “visor strip” or “eyebrow”) applied only to the top 4 inches of the glass to block the intense overhead sun during your commute.
Pro Tip: For total heat rejection without the legal risk, we recommend an optically clear 70% or 80% Nano-Ceramic film for the full windshield. It blocks over 90% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays while remaining virtually invisible—keeping your luxury interior cool and your standing legal.
0 2
The driver and front passenger windows must allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). It is important to remember that most high-end factory glass already has a slight tint; adding even a “light” aftermarket film can push the total darkness below the legal limit. We use professional-grade tint meters to ensure your combination of glass and film stays within the 70% threshold.
0 3
In California, there are no darkness restrictions for your rear side windows and the back windshield. Whether you prefer a subtle 35% “Sport Smoke” or a 5% “Limo” shade for maximum privacy and security, it is 100% legal—provided your vehicle is equipped with dual side mirrors (standard on all modern luxury vehicles).
0 4
While high-performance heat rejection is the goal, your film cannot be more reflective than standard window glass. California law strictly prohibits mirrored or “chrome” aesthetics. Additionally, the use of red, amber, or blue-tinted films is illegal on any window to ensure your vehicle is never confused with emergency services.
Your investment is protected for the long haul.
We only use elite, high-performance films from world-renowned brands. Your installation is fully covered against the most common failures, including bubbling, peeling, cracking, and delamination. If the film fails due to a manufacturer defect at any point during your ownership, we will replace it at no cost to you—guaranteed.
You have likely seen vehicles with “purple” or distorted windows. That is the result of cheap, dye-based films breaking down under the relentless West Valley UV exposure. Our Carbon and Nano-Ceramic films are engineered with advanced inorganic pigments and nano-carbons that are guaranteed never to change color or fade, maintaining their deep, rich graphite appearance for the life of the car.
Our reputation among the Hidden Hills and Calabasas elite is built on perfection. We believe a tint job should be indistinguishable from factory-installed glass. If the installation isn’t flawless—meaning no light gaps, no dirt contamination, and a precise, edge-to-edge fit—we will redo the window, no questions asked. Our goal is 100% satisfaction for every client.
Older metallic tints can act as a Faraday cage, blocking your vehicle’s sophisticated electronics. Because we utilize exclusively non-metallic ceramic and carbon technologies, we guarantee that your tint will never interfere with your GPS, cell service, satellite radio, or your Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD sensors. Your connectivity remains seamless, even behind the gates.
How to protect your investment during the curing process.
0 1
Keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days. The film is applied using a specialized mounting solution and requires time to bond. Rolling the windows down too early can cause the film to peel or shift before the adhesive has fully set. Additionally, avoid high-pressure car washes during this window to prevent moisture from interfering with the edges.
0 2
It is completely normal to see small “water pockets,” streaks, or a slightly hazy appearance immediately after installation. This is simply residual moisture trapped between the film and the glass. Depending on the humidity and sunlight in Hidden Hills, these will naturally evaporate and disappear within 1 to 4 weeks. Parking your car in the sun will actually help speed up this process!
0 3
Once the curing period is over, never use ammonia-based glass cleaners (such as blue Windex). Ammonia is a harsh chemical that can degrade the scratch-resistant coating and turn your tint purple or brittle over time. Always use Ammonia-Free glass cleaners (such as Invisible Glass) to maintain the integrity of your film.
0 4
When cleaning your tinted windows, avoid paper towels, newspapers, or abrasive sponges, as these can leave behind fine swirl marks. Always use a clean, soft microfiber towel to gently wipe down the glass. This ensures your view remains “Ultra HD” without any micro-scratches on your luxury glass.
0 5
This is a common cause of tint damage: be mindful when unbuckling! A flying metal seatbelt tongue can snap back and chip the film if it hits the side window. A little extra care when letting go of the buckle will keep your front side windows looking flawless and free of impact marks.
FAQs
Absolutely. In the high-heat environment of the San Fernando Valley, 70% film is our most popular choice for the front glass. It provides nearly maximum heat rejection and 99% UV protection while remaining virtually invisible, keeping you within California’s 70% VLT legal limit.
Yes. We are specialists in the "One-Piece" installation. Unlike shops that use two pieces of film (leaving a visible seam), we use a single oversized sheet to cover the entire glass from top to bottom for a seamless, factory-perfect look.
No. Bubbling is caused by the failure of cheap adhesives or poor installation. Because we use professional-grade Carbon and Ceramic films and install them in a climate-controlled bay, your tint is guaranteed to withstand extreme heat without ever bubbling or peeling.
A full vehicle tint typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on the complexity of the glass. For multi-service appointments (like adding PPF or Ceramic Coating), we provide a specific timeline and can coordinate with your schedule for a seamless experience.
Not with our films. We exclusively use non-metallic, signal-safe materials. Your GPS, satellite radio, cellular signals, and advanced EV sensors will continue to function perfectly without any interference.
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a thick, self-healing urethane layer designed to stop physical damage like rock chips and scratches. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint to provide a permanent shine and hydrophobic "easy-clean" properties. For maximum protection, we recommend applying both.
No. Our digital plotter cuts the film to the exact dimensions of your glass, and the adhesive is designed to bond safely over defroster lines. The heat from your defroster will not damage the film.
Our professional-grade coatings are designed to last between 3 to 9 years depending on the package you choose and how the vehicle is maintained. It provides a much more durable and long-lasting shield than any traditional wax or sealant.
Yes. We offer professional-grade, high-heat refinishing. We can match your calipers to your vehicle’s paint code or provide a custom pop of color (like Electric Blue or Brembo Red) for a bespoke, high-performance look.
A Chrome Delete involves wrapping the silver or chrome trim of your vehicle in black vinyl. It is incredibly popular for Range Rovers, Teslas, and SUVs to create a more modern, "stealth" aesthetic that eliminates dated reflective accents.
