Why Choose TWT?
Precision-cut protection for the modern drive.
Precision Digital Plotter Cutting
In a city defined by high-end automotive design, we believe your car deserves a perfect fit without the risk. At TWT, we never use blades on your glass. Instead, we utilize state-of-the-art digital plotter technology and an extensive database of over 10,000 vehicle patterns. This ensures a 100% factory-accurate fit tailored specifically to your vehicle’s blueprints, protecting your custom trim, rubber seals, and glass from the accidental nicks common with hand-cutting.
Dust-Free Installation Environment
In the heart of the bustling West Hollywood corridor, quality window tinting requires more than just skill—it requires a controlled environment. Our climate-controlled installation bay is a sanctuary for your vehicle, designed to provide a wind-free, filtered space. By isolating the process from city soot and debris, we virtually eliminate the bubbles, lint, and airborne particles that plague cut-rate mobile services or outdoor applications.
Tesla & Exotic Luxury Specialists
Modern luxury vehicles and EVs like Teslas, Lucids, and Rivians require a specialized touch that general shops can’t provide. We are masters of the “One-Piece” rear window install for Tesla Model 3s, delivering a seamless, museum-quality look without unsightly light gaps. Furthermore, we utilize specialized “Soak Ropes” and moisture-protection shields to safeguard your sensitive dash electronics and high-tech sensors during the application process—ensuring your car leaves as smart as it arrived.
Premium protection and custom styling for every surface.

Experience high-performance protection that fits the West Hollywood lifestyle. Choose from our budget-friendly Carbon series for a sleek matte look or our elite, heat-crushing Nano-Ceramic film—the ultimate essential for cool comfort and UV defense while cruising the Sunset Strip.
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Defend your investment against the hazards of city driving. This invisible, self-healing armor shields your hood and bumpers from tight-spot parallel parking scuffs, road debris, and door dings. It’s the gold standard for keeping your luxury or exotic vehicle’s factory paint in concours condition.
Ceramic Coating
Lock in that signature “Hollywood Gloss” forever. Our professional-grade ceramic coatings create a permanent, hydrophobic layer that repels city soot, bird droppings, and contaminants. Enjoy a mirror-like finish that makes your weekly detail effortless.

License Plate Wraps
A legal, streamlined alternative to traditional metal plates. Our vinyl license plate wraps provide a seamless, aerodynamic front-end look—ideal for performance vehicles where a bulky metal bracket would ruin the clean lines of the fascia.
Residential Tinting
Keep your West Hollywood condo or hillside home cool and private. Our architectural films block solar heat and 99% of UV rays, protecting your designer furniture, fine art, and flooring from fading while significantly lowering your energy bills.

Premiere Tinting
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, providing a total “stealth” look.
Best For: High-profile clients and those seeking maximum privacy for rear windows and back glass.
Privacy Level: Maximum (10/10)
10% VLT — “Deep Private”
Appearance: A heavy, dark charcoal. It maintains the “blacked-out” exterior aesthetic while offering slightly better visibility from the driver’s seat than 5%.
Best For: Achieving the Limo Look with a touch more safety for night driving through the winding Hollywood Hills.
Privacy Level: 9/10
20% VLT — “Factory Match”
Appearance: The standard dark tint found on the rear glass of most factory luxury SUVs and crossovers.
Best For: Matching front windows to factory-tinted rear glass for a seamless, uniform profile.
Privacy Level: 8/10
35% VLT — “Sport Smoke”
Appearance: A classic, medium-toned charcoal. It allows silhouettes to be seen while significantly cutting glare from city lights.
Best For: A sophisticated, high-end aesthetic that highlights the lines of a sports car without looking overly modified.
Privacy Level: 5/10
Appearance: A subtle, soft tint that gives the windows a “premium glass” finish rather than a tinted look.
Best For: Drivers who want the performance of heat rejection and glare control while maintaining a near-factory appearance.
Privacy Level: 3/10
70% VLT — “Optically Clear”
Appearance: Virtually invisible. To the naked eye, the glass looks like it came straight from the showroom floor.
Best For: Windshields. This is our most popular choice for West Hollywood drivers—our Nano-Ceramic windshield install blocks over 90% of heat without changing your visibility or legal standing.
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 city soot resides. By removing every microscopic speck of dust, grease, and West Hollywood 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 the sensitive trim of your luxury interior.
03
Clean-Room Application
Your tint is applied in our specialized, climate-controlled installation bay. Unlike mobile services that struggle with the wind and outdoor pollutants of the city, 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 that meets the high standards of the West Hollywood automotive scene. If it doesn’t meet our elite craftsmanship benchmarks, we don’t release the car.
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 overhead sun while driving through the Hollywood Hills. 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 on the Sunset Strip.
0 2
The driver and front passenger windows must allow at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). It is important to remember that most luxury and EV 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 while maximizing protection.
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 celebrity-style privacy, it is 100% legal—provided your vehicle is equipped with dual side mirrors (standard on all modern cars).
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, which can cause dangerous glare for other drivers. Additionally, the use of red, amber, or blue-tinted films is illegal on any window to ensure no confusion with emergency vehicle lighting in high-traffic West Hollywood corridors.
Your investment is protected for the long haul.
We only use premium, high-performance films from world-class brands like 3M and SunTek. 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—ensuring your vehicle stays showroom-ready as long as you own it.
You’ve likely seen cars in West Hollywood with “purple” or distorted windows. That is the result of cheap, dye-based films breaking down under the relentless 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 in the West Hollywood automotive community 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 don’t settle for “good enough” when it comes to your luxury or exotic vehicle.
In a city where connectivity is everything, you can’t afford blocked signals. Older metallic tints can act as a shield, disrupting your electronics. 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 Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD sensors.
How to protect your investment during the curing process.
0 1
Keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days. Our precision films are applied using a specialized mounting solution that requires a brief drying period. Rolling your windows down too early can cause the film to shift or peel before the adhesive has fully set. Additionally, avoid high-pressure car washes during this window to ensure the edges remain perfectly sealed against the elements.
0 2
It is completely normal to see small “water pockets,” minor streaks, or a slightly hazy appearance immediately following your appointment. This is simply residual moisture trapped between the film and the glass. Depending on the sunlight and humidity in West Hollywood, these will naturally evaporate and disappear within 1 to 4 weeks. In fact, parking your car in the California sun will help accelerate this drying process!
0 3
Once the curing period is over, never use ammonia-based glass cleaners (such as standard blue Windex). Ammonia is a harsh chemical that can degrade the film’s scratch-resistant coating and cause it to become brittle or discolored over time. To maintain that showroom look, always use Ammonia-Free glass cleaners (like Invisible Glass) or a mild mixture of soap and water.
0 4
When detailing your tinted windows, avoid using paper towels, newspapers, or abrasive sponges, which can leave behind lint or fine swirl marks. Always use a clean, soft microfiber towel to gently wipe down the interior glass. This ensures your view of the Hollywood Hills remains “Ultra HD” and free of micro-scratches.
0 5
In the tight parking spots of WeHo, we often move quickly—but be mindful when unbuckling! A flying metal seatbelt tongue can snap back and chip the film if it strikes the side window. A little extra care when releasing the buckle will keep your front-side tint looking flawless for years to come.
FAQs
Absolutely. In West Hollywood, where aesthetics and legal compliance often go hand-in-hand, 70% Nano-Ceramic film is the "secret weapon." It provides maximum UV and heat rejection without looking like an aftermarket modification, keeping you cool and protected while maintaining a street-legal, high-end factory look.
Yes. We are known in the WeHo EV community for our "One-Piece" installation. Unlike shops that cut the film into two pieces (leaving a visible line across your defroster), we use a single, oversized sheet of film to cover the entire glass from the trunk to the top roof line for a seamless, bubble-free finish.
Not with TWT. Bubbling is a sign of cheap adhesive failing under the sun. Because we use premium, color-stable films and install them in a climate-controlled bay, your tint is engineered to withstand the most brutal California heatwaves without ever lifting or bubbling.
A full vehicle tint typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity and the number of windows. We value your time—many of our clients drop their cars off and enjoy a coffee or lunch nearby on Santa Monica Blvd while we work our magic.
Not ours. We exclusively use Ceramic and Carbon-based films, which are non-metallic. This ensures zero interference with your smartphone signals, GPS navigation, satellite radio, or your Tesla’s Autopilot/FSD sensors.
Think of PPF (Paint Protection Film) as a thick, self-healing "armor" that prevents rock chips and scratches. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that provides a permanent, hydrophobic "wax" on steroids, giving your car that signature Hollywood deep-gloss shine and making it incredibly easy to wash.
No. Our digital plotter cuts the film to fit perfectly around your defroster lines. The film actually helps protect the delicate heating elements from being scratched or damaged by cargo or passengers.
Depending on the package you choose, our professional-grade coatings last anywhere from 2 to 5+ years. With proper maintenance, it will keep your vehicle looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor for the duration of your lease or ownership.
Yes. We provide professional-grade, high-heat resistant refinishing. Whether you want a "Brembo Red" pop of color for your calipers or a custom satin black finish for your wheels, our process ensures a durable, factory-quality look.
A "Chrome Delete" involves wrapping the silver or chrome trim of your vehicle (window surrounds, grilles, and emblems) in black vinyl. It’s incredibly popular in West Hollywood because it gives modern vehicles—especially Teslas and European luxury cars—a much more aggressive, sleek, and "stealth" aesthetic.
