Film Packages

Good. Better. Best.

Every package is a quality film, installed with the same care. The difference is performance: how much heat and infrared each film keeps out, how clear it stays and how long it's covered. Darkness is a separate choice you make with any film.

The Difference

Why premium window film makes a difference

Two films can look the same on day one. The difference shows up over years of sun: in how cool the cabin stays, how clear the glass looks and how well the film holds its color.

  1. 01

    Heat rejection

    Darkness alone doesn't keep a car cool. Ceramic and IR ceramic films are engineered to reject infrared heat, so even a lighter shade can make the cabin noticeably more comfortable.

  2. 02

    Color stability

    Premium films are built to keep their neutral, factory-like color for years instead of shifting tone in the sun.

  3. 03

    Clarity

    High-quality ceramic films stay crisp and clear from the inside, day and night, with low haze and minimal interference with your devices.

  4. 04

    Durability

    Quality film and adhesive hold up to years of California sun and daily use without bubbling, peeling or lifting at the edges.

  5. 05

    Warranty

    Premium films are backed by manufacturer warranties. Lifetime coverage is available, so your investment is protected.
