What we install
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.
Dyed, carbon and ceramic are different product categories. LLumar identifies ATC as dyed window film, not carbon. ATC uses an integrated charcoal dye for color stability, and LLumar states that it blocks more than 99% of UV rays.
LLumar's ceramic range includes CTX, IRX, FormulaOne Pinnacle and FormulaOne Stratos. Compare the exact series and shade for heat rejection, visible light transmission and reflectance; the category name is not a performance specification.
Ask PLM to confirm the exact film available for your vehicle in the written quote. A carbon-tint comparison is not a representation that ATC is carbon or that every listed manufacturer series is currently stocked.

Talk through your buildTexas window tint law, plainly stated
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.

The install experience
Plan your drop-off after the shop confirms the scope and appointment. Vehicle size, window coverage and any old-film removal affect the completion estimate. Confirm transportation arrangements separately.
Ask about The Build Log updates for your installation. The shop confirms pickup readiness and provides care instructions for the selected film. Follow those instructions for when to lower windows and clean the glass; contact the shop about persistent haze, bubbles or lifting edges.
Window tint — frequently asked
Real questions from real San Antonio drivers. Written for humans and answer engines.
What is the darkest window tint 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
Does ceramic tint really block heat?
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-film overview
Will window tint interfere with my toll tag, GPS, or radio?
LLumar's non-metallic tint options are designed to avoid the radio-signal interference associated with metal-containing films. Confirm the exact product and vehicle guidance; do not cover cameras, sensors or required visibility areas. This is not a blanket guarantee about every electronic system.
How long does window tint installation take?
What's the difference between ceramic tint and carbon tint?
These are separate film categories, and dyed film is another. LLumar ATC is dyed film, not carbon. Compare the exact manufacturer, series, shade and published specifications; confirm what is available for your vehicle. LLumar ATC description
Can I put window tint on the windshield?
DPS permits sunscreening devices above the AS-1 line; if there is no AS-1 line, they must end five inches below the top of the windshield. The strip and original glass together must transmit at least 25% of visible light and have no more than 25% luminous reflectance. Red, amber and blue are prohibited. DPS also permits clear, untinted UV film anywhere on the windshield without a medical exemption. A 70%, 80% or 25% film label, or the word ceramic, does not by itself establish that a full-windshield installation qualifies. Texas DPS guidance
Does window tint come with a warranty?
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. LLumar warranty summary
