Best For: Maximum privacy and a “blacked-out” aesthetic 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: Drivers in Montebello 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, seamless look.
Privacy Level: 8/10

Appearance: A classic, medium-toned charcoal. You can see silhouettes inside, but it cuts significant glare.
Best For: A high-end, sporty aesthetic that looks sharp while cruising Beverly Blvd.
Privacy Level: 5/10

Privacy Level: 1/10 (Transparent)
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 dirt resides. By removing every microscopic speck of dust, grease, and Montebello road grime, we create the pristine surface necessary for a permanent, long-lasting bond.
02
Digital Plotter Cutting
We believe in protecting your investment, 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 software blueprints. This ensures a 100% accurate fit with zero risk of scratches to your glass, window defrosters, or sensitive trim.
03
Clean-Room Application
Your tint is applied in our specialized, climate-controlled installation bay. Unlike mobile services that deal with wind and outdoor pollutants common in the San Gabriel Valley, our facility maintains a dust-filtered environment. This controlled atmosphere allows us to eliminate the airborne debris and contamination that cause unsightly bubbles and “pepper” spots in the film.
04
Quality Inspection
Before we hand back your keys, our 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 finish. If it doesn’t meet our elite craftsmanship standards, we don’t release the car—ensuring your vehicle looks perfect for its first drive down Whittier Blvd.
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 overhead sun.
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 you legal and cool while driving through the San Gabriel Valley.
0 2
The driver and front passenger windows must allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). It is important to remember that most 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 vehicle stays within the legal threshold for Montebello and surrounding LA County roads.
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 at The Shops at Montebello, it is 100% legal—provided your vehicle is equipped with dual side mirrors.
0 4
While heat rejection is the goal, your film cannot be more reflective than standard window glass. California law strictly prohibits mirrored or “chrome” looks. Additionally, the use of red, amber, or blue-tinted films is illegal on any window to avoid confusion with emergency vehicle lighting.
Your investment is protected for the long haul.
We only use premium, high-performance films from industry-leading 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, we will replace it at no cost to you—providing peace of mind for as long as you own your vehicle in Montebello.
You’ve likely seen cars in the San Gabriel Valley with “purple” or distorted windows. That is the result of cheap, dye-based films breaking down under intense Southern California 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 charcoal look for years.
Our reputation is built on perfection. We believe a tint job should look like it came from the factory. 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. We treat every vehicle in Montebello with the elite care it deserves.
Older metallic tints can act as a shield, blocking your electronics from working correctly. Because we utilize non-metallic ceramic and carbon technologies, we guarantee that your tint will never interfere with your GPS, cell service, satellite radio, or your vehicle’s advanced driver-assistance sensors, ensuring your tech works perfectly on every commute down the 60 freeway.
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 needs time to dry. 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 water from forcing its way under 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 Montebello, these will naturally evaporate and disappear within 1 to 4 weeks. Parking your car in the sun near The Shops at Montebello will actually help speed up this process!
0 3
Once the curing period is over, never use ammonia-based glass cleaners (like 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) or a simple mixture of mild dish soap and water.
0 4
When cleaning your tinted windows, avoid paper towels, newspapers, or abrasive sponges, as these can leave behind fine swirl marks or lint. Always use a clean, soft microfiber towel to gently wipe down the glass. This ensures your view while driving down Beverly Blvd remains “Ultra HD” without any micro-scratches.
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 for the long haul.
FAQs
Absolutely. While it appears nearly clear, a 70% Nano-Ceramic film blocks a massive amount of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays. It’s the perfect way to stay cool and protected while remaining compliant with California’s front-window laws.
Yes. We specialize in "One-Piece" rear window installations for Teslas. Unlike shops that use two pieces and leave an unsightly seam, we use a single oversized sheet of film to ensure a seamless, factory-perfect look.
No. Bubbling is caused by the failure of cheap adhesives. Because we use premium, color-stable films and install them in a climate-controlled bay, your tint is guaranteed to withstand the most intense Montebello heat without failing.
Most full-vehicle tinting appointments take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of windows and the complexity of the vehicle. We prioritize precision to ensure it’s done right the first time.
Not with our films. We use advanced Carbon and Ceramic technologies that are 100% non-metallic. This ensures zero interference with your smartphone, GPS navigation, satellite radio, or Tesla Autopilot sensors.
Think of PPF (Paint Protection Film) as a physical shield against rock chips and scratches, while Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that provides chemical resistance and a permanent, high-gloss shine. Many of our Montebello clients choose both for total protection.
No. Our digital plotter cuts the film to fit perfectly around your glass without damaging the defroster lines. The film actually helps protect the lines from wear and tear over time.
Depending on the package you choose and how the vehicle is maintained, our professional-grade coatings can last anywhere from 2 to 5+ years, providing a hydrophobic barrier that makes washing your car effortless.
Yes! We use high-heat resistant, automotive-grade finishes to customize your calipers and restore or change the color of your wheels. It’s a popular way to add a custom "pop" to your vehicle's aesthetic.
A Chrome Delete involves wrapping the silver or chrome trim (windows, grilles, and mirrors) in black vinyl. It is incredibly popular in Montebello for creating a more modern, "stealth" look that highlights the body lines of the vehicle.
