Mobile Window Tinting in Pasadena / San Gabriel

California law: front side windows must allow 70%+ Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Rear side windows and back window can be any darkness. Front windshield: the top 4 inches can be tinted any VLT. Your Drivify installer in Pasadena / San Gabriel knows the rules and will decline to cut illegal tint on front windows — it'd be a $25 fix-it ticket and a wasted install.

Dyed: cheapest ($180–$280 install), fades and turns purple after 3–5 years, ~40% heat rejection. Carbon: $280–$450, better color stability, ~50% heat rejection. Ceramic: $400–$650+, best heat rejection (~70%), doesn't interfere with cell or GPS signal, 10+ year durability. For LA sun, ceramic is the clear value play on most vehicles.
