"Sosaa from SosaaTintz provides fantastic services. I did a lot of research to wrap my Cybertruck and chose Sosaa because of the trust that he was able to build during our communication. He was super responsive and offered very competitive pricing. He even offered to come to our house to show us samples, which in the end wasn’t necessary. He did everything possible to meet my timeline and worked hard to get it done in time (2.5 days). The final quality of the wrap was excellent. Really good details in the corners, and the entire truck looks flawless. He also tinted my windows and applied ceramic coating to trims. I highly recommend him because of the great quality and first class customer service."

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.
