In the Bay Area, the sun heats the cabin through the glass. The right film cuts that heat without blocking your phone, GPS or toll tag.
What actually matters: heat, not darkness
Every LLumar FormulaOne film blocks over 99% of UV. The difference between films is how much heat stays out. A darker shade is not automatically cooler: a ceramic film at the same shade rejects more heat than a basic dyed film.

California limits front side windows to 70% light transmission and allows tint on the top 4 inches of the windshield. Read our California tint laws guide.
Questions
Will ceramic tint block my GPS or phone?
LLumar lists Pinnacle and Stratos as no signal interference films.
Is Stratos worth the extra cost?
If your car sits in the sun a lot, the extra heat rejection is noticeable. If not, Pinnacle is a great value. Text us your car and where you park it.
