WINDOW TINT SHADES WE OFFER FOR MINT HILL

Window tint shades are measured by VLT (Visible Light Transmission), which refers to the percentage of light that passes through your film. We install a full range of window tint shades that comply with North Carolina’s legal limits.

Most Window Films Promise Two Things: Heat Rejection and a Better Look; Few Actually Deliver on Both

CERAMIC PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY

XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus use advanced ceramic particles to filter out the sun's infrared radiation, outperforming traditional metallized or dyed films in both durability and heat rejection.

SUPERIOR HEAT REJECTION

The ceramic particle technology in our films blocks the majority of the sun's heat-causing infrared energy, keeping your cabin cooler and helping reduce the load on your air conditioning.

CRYSTAL CLEAR SIGNAL

Unlike older metallized films, our nano-ceramic technology will not interfere with your radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals, so your connectivity stays strong.

UV RAY PROTECTION

XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus ceramic particles filter out harmful UV radiation, offering stronger protection for your skin and interior compared to standard metallized or dyed window films.

FAQs About Window Tinting

What Type of Light Gap Is Acceptable When You Roll Down Your Windows in the Car?

There should be a 1/16th” gap at the absolute max, though it should be tighter than that. At Sun Stoppers our professional installers do zero light gap, even on frameless doors.

Does Auto Window Tint Help Save Money on Gas Mileage?

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.

What Is the Darkest Legal Tint for Cars in North Carolina?

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.

Willian Pifer:

“On time and courteous! I now see why they were busy! Great customer service, great product, no pushy sales tactics. If they treat every car like they did my 20 year old Mazda, your new car will be pampered. Very professional, very clean and they were more than willing to answer all of my questions!”
