Keep your car's cabin cool, your belongings out of sight, and your interior shielded from the North Carolina sun. Our XPEL Window Tint cuts heat, adds privacy, and protects what matters most.
Summer in Indian Trail, NC can turn your parked car into an oven. Quality auto window tint blocks solar heat before it reaches your cabin, so every drive feels more comfortable.
Our CLEAR CERAMIC HEAT REJECTION FILM meets all North Carolina tint requirements and keeps your visibility completely clear. Every installation we do follows current NC laws and regulations.
Studies have found that skin cancer appears more often on the left side of the body, the side that sits closest to the driver’s window. The Skin Cancer Foundation recognizes XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus Window Tint as an effective shield against harmful UV rays during daily driving.
Window tint darkness is measured using VLT (Visible Light Transmission), which tells you how much light passes through the film. A lower number means a darker shade. We offer a full selection of window tint shades that stay within North Carolina’s legal limits.
Made with nano-ceramic construction, PRIME XR Ceramic Film offers long-lasting clarity and a clean finish while rejecting up to 88% of infrared heat.
Featuring multi-layer nanoparticle technology, PRIME XR PLUS automotive window tint combines a sleek, dark appearance with the highest level of heat rejection performance.
When heat rejection is not your top priority, XPEL PRIME CS is a solid choice. It still blocks 99% of harmful UV rays and delivers color-stable, glare-reducing performance that will not fade, crack, peel, or turn purple over time.
XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus rely on advanced ceramic particles to filter the sun's infrared radiation. They outlast and outperform traditional metallized or dyed films in both durability and heat rejection.
The ceramic particle technology in our films stops the majority of the sun's heat-causing infrared energy, keeping your cabin cooler and taking pressure off your air conditioning.
Unlike older metallized films, our nano-ceramic technology won't interfere with your radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals. Your connectivity stays strong.
Plus ceramic particles block harmful UV radiation, giving your skin and interior stronger protection than standard metallized or dyed window films.

Window tint on its own does not increase gas mileage, but it does help regulate the temperature inside your car. When your air conditioner runs less, your fuel efficiency can improve. This is especially true for electric vehicles like Teslas, where less AC usage helps preserve battery life and extend driving range.
North Carolina requires front side windows to allow at least 35% of visible light through (VLT), with a 3% enforcement variance down to 32%. For sedans, the same 35% limit applies to rear and back windows. For SUVs, trucks, and vans, there is no darkness restriction on rear side windows or the rear windshield. Reflectivity must stay at or below 20%. As of December 1, 2025, tint checks have been removed from annual inspections, but the limits are still enforceable during traffic stops.

Indian Trail is a rapidly growing town in Union County, about 10 miles southeast of Charlotte. Founded in 1861 and incorporated in 1907, the town gets its name from a historic trading path that once ran from Petersburg, Virginia, to the Waxhaw Indians and nearby gold mining areas. German and Scots-Irish settlers established farms here in the 1800s, and the arrival of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1874 helped the area grow. Today, Indian Trail is home to over 45,000 residents and continues to attract families looking for a suburban feel with easy access to Charlotte via US-74 and I-485.
There is plenty to enjoy in and around Indian Trail. Some popular local spots include:
Sun Stoppers is happy to serve Indian Trail, NC, zip codes 28079, and all surrounding neighborhoods including Lake Park, Brandon Oaks, Bonterra, Hemby Bridge, Taylor Glenn, Union Grove, Annandale, and the Town Center area.

“I’ve gotten two vehicles tinted here and both times, things went fantastically. The staff is always professional and helpful, service is done quickly, and (most importantly) the tint looks great! I also got two other quotes for the same services at other tint shops and Sun Stoppers was $100 less. Highly recommend this business for all tint or ceramic paint protection needs”
Amy Wendell

The gentleman I spoke with on the phone & in person was very nice & knowledgeable. Decently priced as well.”
