Window Tinting FAQ — Indianapolis

Most cars run $118–$728 out the door — that's the price, no surprises at checkout. Two front windows to match your factory tint start at $118. A full ceramic job including the windshield is $728 out the door. Call us and we'll give you an exact number in under two minutes.

This is the biggest misconception we clear up on almost every call. Shade and heat rejection are two completely different things. We can put a completely clear film on your windshield that blocks 95% of the heat — or go limo-tint dark and only block 30%. The darkness you see has almost nothing to do with how much heat gets stopped.

Yes — this is actually our most common job. Most new cars come from the factory with tinted rear windows (usually around 20% VLT) but clear fronts. We match your driver and passenger windows to the rear in 20–30 minutes. Give us a call and we'll match it exactly.

We hear this one a lot from new car buyers. Dealerships almost always sub tint work out to whoever bids it cheapest — they're not specialists. We do nothing but tint, all day, every day. You get a specialist, a real warranty, and you'll know exactly who touched your car.

Most cars are done in 45–90 minutes. You're welcome to wait in our lobby — we've got a TV, cold water, and a clean bathroom. Many customers drop off in the morning and pick up by lunch. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you call.

In Indiana, your front side windows must let in more than 30% of light (30% VLT minimum). Rear side windows and the rear windshield have no legal restriction for passenger vehicles. Every install we do is street legal before your car leaves our lot.

For most people, yes — especially if you spend a lot of time in your vehicle. Ceramic tint rejects up to 95% of solar heat and blocks 99% of UV rays. It also won't mess with your GPS, cell signal, or radio the way metallic films can. Our ceramic packages are backed by the Lifetime Galaxy Guarantee.

Yes. We offer a clear or lightly tinted windshield film that's completely legal in Indiana. The clear ceramic option blocks up to 95% of heat without changing the look of your windshield at all. It's one of the most effective ways to cool your cabin, and it's included in our full-car ceramic package at $728 out the door.

Give it at least 3–5 days before rolling your windows down. The film needs time to fully cure and bond to the glass. Rolling them down too early can cause peeling at the edges. We'll remind you of this when you pick up.

Not with ceramic tint. Ceramic film contains no metal particles, so it won't block GPS, cell service, or radio signals. This is one of the biggest advantages over older metallic films.

Yes — we tint everything: trucks, SUVs, cars, vans, and exotic or luxury vehicles. We use precision-cut film matched to your exact make and model. No guessing, no trimming on the glass.

In most cases, yes. Some double-pane windows have special coatings that can react with certain films. We'll look at your windows before we install anything and recommend the right film so there's no risk of damage to your glass.

Most solar films keep excellent outward visibility while cutting glare and heat. Privacy films are designed to limit outside visibility during the day. We'll walk you through your options so you get exactly the look and performance you want.

A typical residential job takes a half day to a full day depending on the number of windows. Larger homes may need a second visit. We work efficiently so we're not disrupting your whole day.
