Evaluate ceramic tint for your vehicle
LLumar window tint starting at $295. All LLumar lines are available. Your written quote confirms the exact series, shade, vehicle coverage, removal charges and installed total.
Ceramic film can reduce solar heat entering through treated glass, but the result depends on the exact film, shade, glass, coverage and conditions. Compare total solar energy rejection (TSER) for the same test basis. Infrared-rejection figures can use different wavelength ranges and are not interchangeable with TSER. No fixed cabin-temperature reduction, cool-down time, energy saving or EV-range gain is promised.
Confirm the factory-glass specifications, film compatibility and permitted coverage for your vehicle. Manufacturer UV claims do not establish a particular cabin temperature or guaranteed range benefit.

Film compatibility and vehicle systems
Non-metallic films are designed to avoid the radio-signal interference associated with metallic construction. That is not a blanket guarantee for Autopilot, cameras, radar, phone keys or other vehicle systems.
Check vehicle and film manufacturer guidance for camera and sensor areas, glass roofs and windshield applications. Do not obscure a required view or assume every glass panel should receive film.
Legal Texas VLT for Tesla
The following summary is based on Texas DPS window-tint guidance. Film shade alone is not a compliance test.
- Front side windows: at least 25% VLT and no more than 25% luminous reflectance, measured with film and original glass together, unless an applicable exemption applies.
- Rear side windows: exempt from these Texas tint restrictions; this is not a sedan-versus-SUV distinction.
- Rear window: unrestricted only with an outside mirror on each side giving a view at least 200 feet behind the vehicle. Without those mirrors, at least 25% VLT and no more than 25% reflectance apply.
- Windshield: the strip must be above the AS-1 line; if there is no line, it must end five inches below the top. Combined strip/glass VLT must be at least 25%, reflectance no more than 25%; no red, amber or blue. Clear, untinted UV film is separately allowed anywhere on the windshield.
For a medical exception to the front-side darkness requirement, DPS calls for a signed statement from a licensed physician or licensed optometrist identifying the driver or occupant and explaining the medical necessity. Keep the statement in the vehicle for law-enforcement review. DPS stopped issuing Window Tint Exemption Certificates on January 1, 2019. A customer-signed shop waiver is not a medical exception or permission to use otherwise noncompliant tint on public roads.
Verify the exact film, glass and installation before choosing a shade. A shop waiver or a nominal film percentage does not guarantee legality. Read the complete Texas tint guide.
Model-specific coverage
Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck have different glass and access details. Confirm the exact model year, factory glass, roof compatibility, window coverage and access procedure before quoting.
Select front-side shade from the measured glass-plus-film result, not a blanket 35% recommendation. The rear-window mirror requirement and separate windshield rules still apply. No door-disassembly procedure or heat-gain estimate is assumed here.
Confirm your tint quote
Request a written quote identifying the film manufacturer, series, shade, windows covered and installed price. Confirm existing-film removal, taxes, preparation, availability, completion estimate and warranty terms before authorizing work. Do not compare different film categories or coverage packages as if they were the same product.
Review the vehicle-quote guidance. LLumar window tint starting at $295 is the general entry point, not a guaranteed full-Tesla or ceramic-film package; confirm the exact product, glass coverage, removal work, taxes, and installed total in writing.
Install & care
The shop confirms the completion estimate after reviewing your Tesla, selected film, glass coverage, and any existing-film removal. Roof and windshield applications require separate compatibility and legal review; they are not assumed to be part of a standard package.
Follow the installed film's written curing and aftercare instructions. Before collection, confirm when to operate the windows, how to clean the treated glass, and which products or activities to avoid. Ask the shop about any appearance or care concern rather than relying on one universal curing timetable.
LLumar describes its automotive tint warranty as a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty, subject to written terms. FormulaOne products have separate transferable coverage with restrictions. Do not assume every film warranty transfers, covers accidental damage or guarantees free replacement in every case. Confirm the exact product warranty, eligibility, registration requirements and any separate PLM workmanship terms in the quote.
Pair with PPF and ceramic coating
Window tint and paint protection film address different parts of the vehicle. If you also want PPF, request a separate written panel scope and quote; do not assume every surface or type of damage is covered.
PPF and a compatible ceramic coating can be quoted together. Confirm the film, coating compatibility, preparation, covered surfaces, installation sequence and care requirements in writing. Neither treatment makes the vehicle maintenance-free. Related: ceramic coating; PPF vs. ceramic coating.

Tint questions, answered
What tint shade is legal in Texas?
Texas requires at least 25% visible light transmission (VLT) and no more than 25% luminous reflectance on the front side windows, measured with the film and original glass together, unless an applicable exemption applies. Rear side windows are exempt from these tint restrictions. The rear window has no tint restriction only when outside mirrors on both sides provide a view at least 200 feet behind the vehicle; otherwise the 25% transmission minimum and 25% reflectance maximum apply. Windshield rules are separate: a regulated upper strip or clear, untinted UV film, not any film advertised as light or ceramic. Texas DPS guidance
Which film should I choose?
Dyed, carbon and ceramic are distinct film categories. LLumar ATC is dyed film, not carbon. Compare the exact series and shade for solar heat rejection, UV performance and warranty; confirm the product available for your vehicle in the written quote. LLumar ATC details
Does ceramic tint guarantee a fixed temperature reduction?
Ceramic film can reduce solar heat entering through treated glass, but the result depends on the exact film, shade, glass, coverage and conditions. Compare total solar energy rejection (TSER) for the same test basis. Infrared-rejection figures can use different wavelength ranges and are not interchangeable with TSER. No fixed cabin-temperature reduction, cool-down time, energy saving or EV-range gain is promised. LLumar ceramic range
What will the installation cost and how long will it take?
Request a written quote identifying the film manufacturer, series, shade, windows covered and installed price. Confirm existing-film removal, taxes, preparation, availability, completion estimate and warranty terms before authorizing work. Do not compare different film categories or coverage packages as if they were the same product. Confirm the completion estimate when the vehicle, film, coverage and any old-film removal have been assessed. Follow the installed film's written aftercare and cure instructions.
