The California sun is a constant threat to both your health and your vehicle’s interior. Our premium films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, acting as a permanent shield for your skin. This protection is vital for preventing your dashboard from fading and your leather seats from cracking under the intense Walnut sun.

Walnut summers often see temperatures soaring into the triple digits. With our Nano-Ceramic options, you can block over 90% of infrared heat. This keeps your cabin significantly cooler and reduces the strain on your AC system—a crucial benefit for maintaining battery range in Teslas and other electric vehicles.

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
We begin with a multi-stage deep clean of both your glass and the surrounding gaskets. By removing every microscopic speck of dust, grease, and San Gabriel Valley road grime, we create the pristine, surgically clean surface necessary for a long-lasting chemical bond.
02
Digital Plotter Cutting
We never take a blade to your vehicle. 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, trim, or sensitive rubber seals.
03
Clean-Room Application
Your tint is applied in our specialized, climate-controlled installation bay. By maintaining a wind-free and dust-filtered environment, we eliminate the airborne debris and static contamination that often plague mobile or outdoor tinting services. This is the only way to ensure a “glass-like” finish.
04
Quality Inspection
Before we hand back your keys, our technicians perform a final 360-degree quality check. We inspect every edge and corner under high-intensity LED lighting to guarantee a crystal-clear, bubble-free finish that meets our elite craftsmanship standards. Your vehicle doesn’t leave until it’s perfect.
Stay street-legal while driving through Los Angeles County.
0 1
In accordance with California Vehicle Code, 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.
Pro Tip: For maximum heat rejection without the legal risk, we recommend an optically clear 70% or 80% Nano-Ceramic film. It blocks over 90% of infrared heat while remaining virtually invisible to the naked eye, keeping you cool and compliant.
0 2
California law requires that the front side windows (driver and passenger) allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). Because most factory glass already has a slight tint built into it, adding even a light aftermarket film can push your vehicle below the legal limit. At TWT, we use specialized light meters to ensure your combination of glass and film stays within the legal 70% threshold.
0 3
There are no darkness restrictions for your rear side and back windows. Whether you want a subtle 35% “Sport Smoke” or a 5% “Limo” shade for maximum privacy, it is 100% legal in California—provided your vehicle is equipped with dual side mirrors (standard on all modern cars).
0 4
Window films must not be more reflective than standard window glass (no mirror finishes). Additionally, California law strictly prohibits the use of red, amber, or blue-tinted films on any window. Our Carbon and Ceramic series are all engineered to meet these aesthetic and legal standards.
Your investment is protected for the long haul.
We only use premium, industry-leading films—including 3M and LLumar—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 material defect, we replace it—no questions asked.
Have you ever seen a car with “purple” or distorted windows? That is the result of cheap dyes breaking down under 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, ensuring your car maintains its sleek look for years.
Our reputation in the Walnut Valley is built on perfection. If the installation isn’t flawless—meaning no light gaps, no dirt contamination, and a precise, software-guided fit—we will redo the window until it meets our elite craftsmanship standards. We take pride in the details.
Modern vehicles, especially Teslas and luxury EVs, rely heavily on onboard technology. 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 Autopilot sensors. You get the protection you need without sacrificing the tech you love.
How to protect your investment during the curing process.
0 1
Keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days following your appointment. Rolling them down too early can cause the film to peel, shift, or crease before the adhesive has fully set. Additionally, avoid washing the interior of your windows or visiting an automated car wash during this time to prevent moisture from interfering with the edges.
0 2
It is completely normal to see small “water pockets,” tiny pinhead-sized bubbles, or a slightly hazy appearance immediately after installation. This is simply residual moisture trapped between the film and the glass. Depending on the weather in Walnut, these will naturally evaporate and disappear within 1 to 4 weeks. Parking in direct sunlight can help speed up this process!
0 3
Once the curing period is over, only use Ammonia-Free glass cleaners (such as Invisible Glass or Sprayway). Ammonia is a harsh chemical that can degrade the film’s scratch-resistant coating and turn your tint purple or brittle over time.
0 4
Never use paper towels, newspapers, or abrasive sponges to clean your windows. These materials can cause microscopic scratches that dull the film’s clarity. Always use a clean, soft microfiber towel and the “two-towel method” (one to wipe, one to buff) for a streak-free, factory finish.
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, use caution when loading large items or allowing pets to rest against the glass to ensure your tint stays in pristine condition for years to come.
FAQs
Absolutely. While 70% VLT is virtually clear and maintains your legal standing in California, our Nano-Ceramic 70% film blocks over 90% of infrared heat. It’s the perfect solution for drivers who want maximum thermal protection without the "darkened" look or the risk of a fix-it ticket.
Yes. We are Tesla specialists. Most shops struggle with the Model 3’s expansive rear glass, often installing it in two pieces with a visible seam. We perform a seamless, one-piece installation that covers the entire glass from bottom to top for a factory-perfect finish.
No. Bubbling is typically caused by the failure of cheap adhesives or poor installation. We use professional-grade, color-stable films and apply them in a climate-controlled clean room. Our work is backed by a Lifetime Warranty against bubbling, peeling, and delamination.
For a standard full-vehicle tint (sides and rear), the process typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Adding a windshield or removing old, failing tint can extend this time. We prioritize precision over speed to ensure every edge is flawless.
Not with our films. Older, "metallic" tints were known to block radio signals. We exclusively use Carbon and Nano-Ceramic technologies which are non-conductive and 100% signal-safe, ensuring your GPS, Bluetooth, and Autopilot sensors function perfectly.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thick, self-healing "armor" that protects against physical damage like rock chips and scratches. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that creates a hydrophobic, high-gloss chemical bond to protect against UV rays, bird droppings, and grime while making the car easier to wash.
No. Our films are designed to be applied directly over factory defroster lines. The tint actually helps distribute the heat more evenly across the glass. However, if you ever need to remove old tint, our professional "steam-out" process ensures your defroster lines remain fully intact.
Depending on the package you choose and how the vehicle is maintained, our professional-grade coatings last anywhere from 2 to 5+ years. Unlike traditional wax, it won't wash off and provides a permanent, mirror-like finish.
Yes. We provide professional-grade refinishing using high-heat resistant paints and durable clear coats. This is a popular way to add a custom "pop" of color (like Tesla Red or Acid Green) to your vehicle without the cost of aftermarket parts.
A Chrome Delete involves using premium vinyl wrap to cover the silver/chrome trim around your windows, grille, and emblems. It is incredibly popular for modernizing a vehicle’s look, giving it a sleek, "stealth" aesthetic often seen on high-end performance models.
