Our premium films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, acting as a permanent shield for your skin. This isn’t just about health; it’s about preservation. Stop the intense sun from cracking your dashboard or fading your custom upholstery while your car sits in the sun at Hollywood Park.

With our Nano-Ceramic technology, you can block over 90% of infrared heat. This keeps your interior significantly cooler and reduces the strain on your AC—a vital benefit for maintaining battery range in Teslas and other EVs during long crawls on the 405 or 105 freeways.

Eliminate the blinding glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the city’s glass skyline. Whether you’re driving west on Manchester Ave or navigating Century Blvd at sunset, our tint improves visibility and reduces eye strain for a safer, more comfortable commute.

Keep your belongings secure while parked at The Forum, SoFi Stadium, or the Intuit Dome. Darker tints provide peace of mind by making it difficult for prying eyes to see into your vehicle, protecting your gear and your privacy in high-traffic urban areas.
Why Choose TWT?
Precision-cut protection for the modern drive.
At The Window Tinting (TWT), we don’t believe in “good enough.” While many shops in the area rely on outdated methods, we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art facility in North Hollywood to ensure every vehicle—from daily commuters to high-end exotics—receives a world-class finish. Here is why drivers from Inglewood make the short trip to our specialized shop:
Precision Digital Cutting
We never take a blade to your glass. Using advanced digital plotter technology, we pre-cut your film using your vehicle’s exact software blueprints. This ensures a 100% factory-accurate fit with zero risk of scratches to your glass or trim, a level of precision manual cutting simply cannot match.
Dust-Free Environment
Quality happens in the right conditions. Unlike mobile tinting services that deal with wind, pollen, and road dust, our work is performed exclusively in a climate-controlled installation bay. By maintaining a sterile environment, we eliminate the bubbles, lint, and debris that ruin a premium tint job.
Tesla & Luxury Specialists
Modern EVs require specialized care. We are masters of the “One-Piece” rear window install for Tesla Model 3s, ensuring a seamless look without unsightly seams. Furthermore, we utilize specialized moisture-protection “Soak Ropes” to shield your sensitive dashboards and electronics from water damage during the application process.
Authorized Professional Installers
As authorized installers for industry leaders like 3M and Lumar, we don’t just provide tint—we provide peace of mind. Every installation is backed by factory-backed, color-stable guarantees. If it ever bubbles, peels, or fades, we fix it—no questions asked.
Premium protection and custom styling for every surface.
Window Tinting
Our signature service. High-performance protection available in budget-friendly Carbon or our elite, heat-crushing Nano-Ceramic. Experience a cooler cabin and a sleeker look with films guaranteed never to fade or turn purple.
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Known as “Clear Bra,” this invisible, self-healing armor shields your hood and bumpers from the rock chips and road debris common on the 405 and 105 freeways. It’s the ultimate way to keep your paint looking showroom-fresh.
Ceramic Coating
Lock in a permanent mirror-like gloss. Our ceramic coatings create a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and bird droppings, making your weekly car wash effortless while providing long-term chemical resistance.
Vinyl Wrap
Completely transform your vehicle’s look without the permanence of paint. Choose from hundreds of colors and finishes—from Satin Black to Custom Metallics—applied with precision to ensure a seamless, paint-like finish.
Chrome Delete
Modernize your vehicle’s aesthetic by blacking out dated window trim, grilles, and emblems. This “blackout” look is a favorite for Inglewood drivers looking for a more aggressive, streamlined appearance.
Caliper & Wheel Painting
Add a custom pop of color or restore a factory-fresh appearance to your wheels. We use professional-grade, high-heat resistant coatings to ensure your brakes look as good as they perform.
License Plate Wraps
A legal, streamlined alternative to traditional metal plates. Perfect for a clean front-end look that avoids the need for bulky brackets or drilling into your bumper.
Residential Tinting
Keep your home cool and protect your hardwood floors and furniture from UV fading.
Commercial Tinting
Reduce energy costs and add privacy to your office or storefront with specialized architectural films.

Choosing the right darkness for style, safety, and legal compliance.
5% (Limo Tint): Maximum Privacy
Appearance: Extremely dark; virtually impossible to see through from the outside.
Best For: Maximum privacy and a “blacked-out” look for rear windows and back glass.
Privacy Level: Maximum (10/10)
10% VLT — “Deep Private”
Appearance: A heavy, dark charcoal that is slightly more visible from the inside than 5%, but still looks “blacked out” from the exterior.
Best For: Those who want the “Limo Look” with slightly improved night-driving safety.
Privacy Level: 9/10
20% VLT — “Factory Match”
Appearance: The standard dark tint found on the rear glass of most factory SUVs and Trucks.
Best For: Matching your front windows to your factory-tinted rear glass for a uniform look.
Privacy Level: 8/10
35% VLT — “Sport Smoke”
Appearance: A classic, medium-toned charcoal. You can see silhouettes inside, but it cuts significant glare.
Best For: A high-end, sporty aesthetic that doesn’t scream “tinted.”
Privacy Level: 5/10
Appearance: A subtle, soft tint. It looks like “high-end glass” rather than a dark film.
Best For: Reducing heat and glare for drivers who want a near-factory appearance.
Privacy Level: 3/10
70% VLT — “Optically Clear”
Appearance: Virtually invisible. Looks like clear factory glass.
Best For: Windshields. This is our top-selling shade for Nano-Ceramic windshield installs to block 90%+ heat without changing the look.
Privacy Level: 1/10 (Transparent)
01
Decontamination
A flawless tint job starts with an obsession with cleanliness. We perform a multi-stage deep clean of your glass using specialized clay bars and deionized solutions. We don’t just clean the surface; we scrub the gaskets and window seals to remove every microscopic speck of Inglewood road grime, ensuring a pristine bond.
02
Digital Plotter Cutting
We believe your car’s glass should never meet a razor blade. Using our state-of-the-art Digital Plotter, we pre-cut your film using precise software blueprints tailored to your vehicle’s specific year, make, and model. This ensures a 100% accurate fit with zero risk of scratches to your glass or delicate trim.
03
Clean-Room Application
Your vehicle is moved into our specialized, climate-controlled installation bay. By working in a wind-free and dust-filtered environment, we eliminate the airborne debris and lint that often plague outdoor or mobile tinting services. Our technicians use the “bottom-load” method and specialized “Soak Ropes” to protect your car’s interior electronics.
04
Quality Inspection
Before you drive away, our lead technicians perform a final 360-degree quality check. We inspect every edge and corner under high-intensity lighting to guarantee a crystal-clear, bubble-free finish. If a window doesn’t meet our “elite craftsmanship” standard, we redo it before you even see it.
Stay street-legal while driving through Los Angeles County.
0 1
In California, aftermarket tint is strictly prohibited on the main body of the windshield. You are permitted to apply a non-reflective tint strip (often called a “visor strip” or “eyebrow”) to the top 4 inches of the glass only.
0 2
The law requires that these windows allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). It’s important to remember that most factory glass already has a slight 75-80% tint. Adding even a “light” aftermarket film can push you into “fix-it ticket” territory. We use specialized digital meters to test your glass-and-film combination, ensuring you stay within the legal 70% threshold.
0 3
California is much more relaxed regarding the rear of the vehicle. There are no darkness restrictions for your rear side or back windows. Whether you want a subtle 35% “Sport Smoke” or a 5% “Limo” shade for maximum privacy at SoFi Stadium events, it is 100% legal—provided your vehicle is equipped with dual side mirrors.
0 4
California Vehicle Code is very specific about the look of your tint:
Your investment is protected for the long haul.
We only use premium, tier-one films that are guaranteed against the most common failures. Your installation is covered for the entire time you own the vehicle against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and delamination. If the film fails due to a manufacturing defect, we replace it at no cost to you.
Cheap dyed tints turn purple after a single summer in the California sun. Our Carbon and Nano-Ceramic series are engineered with advanced inorganic pigments and nano-carbons that are guaranteed never to change color or fade. Your tint will stay as true-black and crisp as the day it was installed.
Our reputation in Los Angeles is built on perfection. If our installation isn’t flawless—meaning no light gaps, no dirt contamination, and a precise digital fit—we will redo the window, no questions asked. We treat every car like a showpiece, ensuring a result that meets our “Elite” standard.
Modern vehicles in Inglewood rely on GPS, 5G, and satellite signals more than ever. Because we utilize non-metallic ceramic and carbon technologies, we guarantee that your tint will never interfere with your cell service, radio, or your Tesla’s Autopilot and sensing equipment.
How to protect your investment during the curing process.
0 1
Keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days. Rolling them down too early can cause the film to peel or shift before the adhesive has fully bonded to the glass. Additionally, avoid washing the interior of the windows during this time to prevent moisture from interfering with the edges.
0 2
It is completely normal to see small “water pockets” or a slightly hazy, milky appearance immediately after installation. This is simply residual moisture trapped between the film and the glass. Depending on the weather in Inglewood, these will naturally evaporate and disappear within 1 to 4 weeks. Parking in direct sunlight can actually help speed up this process!
0 3
Once the curing period is over, only use Ammonia-Free glass cleaners (such as Invisible Glass). Ammonia is a harsh chemical that can degrade the scratch-resistant coating and cause your tint to turn purple or become brittle over time. If you’re unsure, a simple mixture of mild dish soap and water is always a safe bet.
0 4
Never use paper towels, newspapers, or abrasive sponges to clean your tinted windows. These materials can leave behind lint or, worse, create microscopic scratches in the film. Always use a clean, soft microfiber towel to maintain that high-definition clarity.
0 5
Be mindful when unbuckling; a flying seatbelt metal tongue can chip or nick the film if it snaps back against the side window. Likewise, try to avoid wearing rings with sharp edges when cleaning the glass to prevent accidental gouges in the film.
FAQs
Absolutely. While 70% film is nearly clear, our Nano-Ceramic technology allows it to block more solar heat than a 5% "cheap" dyed film. In the Inglewood sun, it provides maximum cooling and UV protection while keeping your vehicle 100% street-legal.
Yes! The Model 3 has one of the largest and most challenging back windows in the industry. TWT is one of the few specialty shops in the area that performs a true "One-Piece" install. This means no ugly seams or light gaps—just one continuous sheet of film from the trunk to the roofline.
Not with TWT. That "bubbling" look you see on older cars is caused by the failure of cheap adhesives or low-grade dyed films (which also turn purple). Our 3M and Nano-Ceramic films are engineered to thrive in extreme heat. We back this with a lifetime guarantee against adhesive failure.
For a full vehicle (all sides and rear), the process typically takes 2 to 4 hours. This allows us enough time for our multi-stage decontamination and precision digital cutting. We recommend dropping your car off, but we are located near several local cafes if you prefer to wait.
If you choose our Carbon or Nano-Ceramic series, the answer is no. Older "metallic" tints can act as a shield against radio waves, but our modern films are 100% non-metallic and signal-friendly for your phone, GPS, and satellite radio.
Think of it this way: PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a thick, physical armor that protects against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint to provide a permanent shine, extreme water beading (hydrophobicity), and protection against UV rays and bird droppings. For the ultimate Agoura Hills setup, we recommend PPF on the front "high-impact" zones and Ceramic Coating over the entire vehicle.
Not at all. Our professional-grade films are designed to be applied directly over your rear defroster lines. In fact, because the film helps distribute heat more evenly across the glass, many drivers find that their rear windows actually defrost faster once tinted.
While traditional waxes strip off in a few weeks, a professional Ceramic Coating can last anywhere from 2 to 5+ years depending on the package you choose. Regular maintenance with pH-neutral soaps and an occasional "top-up" spray will keep that mirror-like gloss and water-beading performance strong for years.
Yes! We use high-temperature, automotive-grade paints and powders that can withstand the extreme heat generated by your braking system. Whether you want a "Brembo Red" look for your Tesla or a custom satin black finish for your wheels, our process ensures the finish won't chip or peel under pressure.
A Chrome Delete involves using premium vinyl wrap to cover the silver or chrome trim around your windows, grilles, and emblems. It’s incredibly popular in the Conejo Valley for drivers who want a more modern, "stealth" look. It’s also completely reversible, meaning it won’t hurt your car’s resale value later on.
