What it runs

Prices start here

Every car is different, so these are starting points rather than a final number. Call with the year, make and model and you get the real one.

The film

What goes on your glass

Which film goes on depends on what you drive and how dark you want to sit. Cutting it and fitting it is our end of the job, and we have been doing that since 2002.

The work

Real cars. Real customers.

Every photo on this site came out of our shop. Find something close to what you drive, then call and we will talk about your glass.

Sound

Factory dash out. Screen in.

Same Mustang, same afternoon. Drag the handle and watch the dash change.

Head unit swaps look simple until the steering wheel controls stop working and the backup camera goes black. We wire it so everything the car did before, it still does.

Straight answers

Questions we get every week

All questions →
How dark can I legally go in North Carolina?
North Carolina sets the limit at 35% VLT on the front sides, back sides and rear glass of a passenger car, and enforcement allows a 3% variance, so a meter reading above 32% passes. SUVs, vans and trucks classed as multi-purpose vehicles can go as dark as you want behind the driver. Bring the car in and we will show you what each shade looks like on your glass before anything gets cut.
How long does a car take?
Most cars are a few hours. Call with the year, make and model and we will give you a real window rather than a guess.
How much does it cost?
Price depends on the car, the glass and the film. Call and describe what you drive. You get a number on the phone, not a form to fill out.
Can you fix somebody else's bad tint?
Yes. Old film that has gone purple, bubbled or started peeling comes off, the glass gets cleaned down, and new film goes on. Removal takes longer than a fresh install, so say so when you call.
