Window Tint

Indiana's limit is 30% VLT (visible light transmission): the window has to let more than 30% of light through. Which windows that covers depends on the vehicle:

• Sedans and passenger cars: 30% on every window, including the back side windows and the rear glass.
• SUVs, trucks and vans: 30% on the front side windows. The windows behind the driver can go any darkness.

Windshields can only have a tint strip across the top, above the AS-1 line marked by the manufacturer.

We tint to legal specifications by default. If you have a medical exemption or special request, we'll walk you through your options.

For Michigan, Illinois and the penalties, see our full window tint laws guide.

Most installations are completed in 2 to 4 hours depending on the vehicle and package:

• Front Two windows: 1.5–2 hours
• Full vehicle (sedan): 2.5–3 hours
• Large SUV: 3–4 hours
• Windshield only: 1.5–2 hours

Yes — measurably. Premium ceramic films like LLumar FormulaOne Stratos block up to 97% of infrared heat, the wavelength of light that makes your car feel hot. Customers regularly report cabin temperatures 20–30°F cooler on sunny days compared to untinted or basic dyed tint. Your AC won't have to work as hard either, which can improve fuel economy in summer.

No. Ceramic film contains no metal — unlike older metalized films — so it won't interfere with cell phone signals, GPS, Bluetooth, toll transponders, satellite radio, or keyless entry. This is one of the key reasons we install ceramic exclusively.

Properly installed ceramic film from LLumar carries a transferable lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, color shift, and adhesive failure. We've installed Stratos and Pinnacle on vehicles that still look factory-fresh 10+ years later. Cheap dyed films typically start showing purple discoloration within 2–3 years — that's what our warranty protects you against.

Customers also have the option of purchasing an extended no-fault lifetime warranty.

We specialize in Stratos and Pinnacle — LLumar's two premium ceramic lines. CTX is LLumar's entry-level ceramic and is available by request. We don't lead with it because we believe in installing film that performs at the highest level. If budget is a concern, ask us — we'll walk you through your options honestly.

Factory tint is usually just dyed glass — not a film. It blocks some light but rejects almost no heat (around 10–15%). We can install ceramic film over factory-tinted glass to dramatically improve heat rejection and UV protection without making the windows look noticeably darker. Most luxury vehicles benefit significantly from this upgrade.

If you don't want to go any darker than your factory tint, we recommend our AIR80 film. It's a clear film that delivers both heat rejection and 99% UV protection.

Yes. We remove old tint as a standalone service or as part of a re-tint job. Old film with adhesive damage, bubbling, or purple haze can be tricky — we use proper techniques to avoid damaging defroster lines or antenna grids. Removal pricing varies by vehicle condition; we'll quote it after a quick inspection.

Yes — but only with the right film. Full windshield tinting requires near-clear ceramic film like LLumar Stratos 70 or Air Blue IR that blocks 60%+ of infrared heat without darkening visibility. These films are camera-safe for ADAS systems and rain sensors. Standard dark window film cannot legally be applied to windshields beyond the AS-1 strip.

Yes, but we recommend using foaming glass cleaner or our Auto Obsessions branded cleaner that does not contain ammonia. You can also fill a squirt bottle and add a small amount of Dawn dish soap. Just don't use any abrasive pads; a paper towel or squeegee is your best bet.
