What does a lifetime warranty really mean?
A “lifetime warranty” has become standard terminology in the industry of window films. Many lifetime warranties do not cover fading or film replacement. Warranties come with limitations on replacement cost, therefore allowing labor to be charged at the discretion of the window tinting shop to replace the film. ”Lifetime Warranty” has become exploited by marketers and causes confusion to the consumer.
Can I legally tint the front side windows (driver & passenger)
Yes, we carry window tint film that meet the State of California as follows:
• The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, within certain limited exceptions.
• However, legislation signed into law effective Jan 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays.

Does film bubble?
Yes. All films bubble over a period of time. This has been an ongoing problem for years, and will continue to be a problem for years to come. The reason film can bubble is because some film adhesives will fail to last due to sun exposure, while other films with better adhesive (which is more costly to the consumer) may last longer. It is important to understand the manufacturer’s warranty of the film being installed. Always make sure you are covered by a 100% Lifetime warranty none of that limited lifetime warranty.
