In the past, blocking sun glare meant you had to get a dark shade of window tint – sometimes an illegal shade or a shade so dark that visibility was difficult.
However, the ceramic technology in XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus allows us to provide the highest performance without sacrificing clarity and color.
XPEL’s nano-ceramic particle technology does not interfere with radio, cellular, and Bluetooth signals like traditional metalized films.
That means you can be safe and connected while you drive!

By now, you might be reaching for your phone to make an appointment with a “window tint dealer near me.”
But first, let’s cover a few things you should make sure to consider before tinting your vehicle windows.
It’s tempting to get a 5% “limo tint” on your vehicle. After all, why not go for 100% privacy?
The main reason is that extremely dark window tints can interfere with your vision, especially at night. We highly recommend choosing a window tint that protects you and offers privacy but doesn’t limit your vision.
If you have questions about how dark you should go with your window tint, don’t hesitate to contact us at Sun Stoppers. We’re always happy to help!
Almost every state has laws on how dark you can tint your windows. This is primarily because dark window tints obscure the driver’s field of vision and keeps law enforcement from seeing inside your vehicle.
Also, keep in mind that window tint laws don’t just vary by state but also by vehicle.
Some vehicles, such as limos, can have darker windows than standard cars. Even different windows on the same car have individual tinting laws.
For example, in Florida, the front side windows of a car can have 35% VLT, while the back side windows and rear windows only require 15% VLT.

It’s understandable to want to find a window tint professional that offers competitive prices. However, choosing the cheapest service isn’t a good idea since you’ll likely end up with low-quality window tint and poor workmanship.
Most automobiles sold at a dealership come with an option for window tint. However, this is primarily a cheap, cosmetic window tint that is overpriced.
If your window film gets damaged or doesn’t perform as you hoped, you’ll have to replace the entire thing. If you want your windows tinted again, you’ll have to pay a second time.
Window TintingBut installing window tint is not a job for the inexperienced.
It’s like putting a screen protector on your phone:
Each speck of dust makes a bubble in the screen protector, and getting the protector lined up on the screen can be a serious pain. If you have to cut the screen protector to size, it’s hard to get it just right, especially if you are trying to avoid scratching your screen.
Now, imagine putting a screen protector on multiple phones that are several feet wide. And some are upside down.
That’s what installing window tint is like.
A professional like Sun Stoppers can do a beautiful job in a short time, whereas it might take you all day and several kits to do a poor job that doesn’t last.
