See it before
you buy it.
Switch between Crystal, X Ceramic and XPro Ceramic, step through every darkness level, and watch the glass change in daylight and after dark — with the real numbers beside it.
Film Series
Darkness · VLT %
Preview is a visual approximation. Check your state’s VLT law before installing — South Carolina permits 27% VLT on front side, rear side and rear windows.
VLT, IR and TSER — what actually matters.
Three numbers get quoted constantly and only one of them predicts how the car will feel in August.
Visible Light Transmission
The percentage of visible light the film lets through. Lower is darker. 5% is limo dark, 70% is nearly clear. VLT is about looks and legality — it is not a heat measurement, which is why a 70% ceramic can out-cool a 20% dyed film.
Infrared Rejection
How much infrared the film blocks. It is the number the industry loves to advertise, because it is usually measured at a single peak wavelength where films perform best. Useful for comparing films of the same type — misleading across types.
Total Solar Energy Rejected
The honest one. TSER measures the whole solar spectrum — infrared, visible and ultraviolet — weighted the way the sun actually delivers it. If you only look at one figure, look at this one.
Ultraviolet Rejection
Every film we sell blocks 99% or more. This is what protects your skin on long drives and stops the dashboard, seats and door cards from fading and cracking.
South Carolina tint law, plainly.
Pick a legal shade first, then pick a series. Going darker than the law allows is the one mistake we cannot warranty away.
| Window | South Carolina limit |
|---|---|
| Windshield | Non-reflective tint above the AS-1 line only |
| Front side windows | Must let in more than 27% light |
| Back side windows | Must let in more than 27% light |
| Rear window | Must let in more than 27% light |
| Reflectivity | No more than 20% reflective, front and back sides |
| Medical exemption | Available with documentation |
In practice that makes 35% the darkest comfortably-legal choice for side glass in South Carolina, and 50% or 70% the safe pick if you are ever crossing state lines. Laws change and vary by state and vehicle class — confirm current requirements with the SCDMV or your installer before ordering. This table is a summary, not legal advice.
