XR Series ceramic film
Window tint
Ceramic tint that actually cuts the heat.
Teslas are mostly glass. Without real ceramic film, the cabin bakes and the HVAC eats your range. We use XPEL XR series — nano-ceramic, non-metal, zero signal interference, and it never turns purple.
XR Plus
Top-tier infrared rejection with the same visible shade. The upgrade that matters most on the glass roof and windshield.
Camera-safe cuts
Windshield film is cut around your Autopilot cameras and sensors, so nothing is covered and nothing gets flagged.
Ultimate Plus · Stealth · Color
Paint protection film
Tesla paint is soft. Film fixes that.
Rock chips on the 101, door dings in the Funk Zone, swirls from a bad wash — PPF takes the hit instead of your paint. Self-healing, invisible, and fully removable when you sell.
Ultimate Plus
Gloss, self-healing, invisible. Full front covers the panels that take 90% of the damage; full body covers everything.
Stealth
The satin-matte finish everyone asks about — full protection with a completely different presence. Reversible.
Color change PPF
A new color that protects at the same time. Factory paint stays untouched underneath, so resale value stays intact.
While we work
Leave in a Model 3.
You shouldn’t have to arrange a ride, burn a vacation day or sit in our lobby while film goes on your car. When our Model 3 loaner is free, we hand you the keys at drop-off and you carry on with your day.
- No chargeIt’s included with your install — there’s no daily rate and no deposit.
- Just askMention it when we call to confirm your booking and we’ll hold it against your dates.
- One carWe have a single loaner, so it goes first come, first served. Booking early is the way to get it.
The loaner is offered subject to availability and a valid license and insurance. If it’s already out on your dates, we’ll tell you straight away rather than at drop-off.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is the price I get here the real price?
Yes — it's our published retail pricing for that model and package. The only time it changes is if the vehicle shows up with existing film to remove, paint correction needs, or damage that has to be addressed first. We tell you before we start, never after.
How long does the car stay with you?
Tint alone is usually a single day. Full front PPF is typically two days, and full body PPF is three to five days depending on the model and finish. We book by appointment so your car isn't sitting.
Do you have a loaner car?
We do — a Tesla Model 3. It goes out on a first-come basis, so it comes down to whether it's free on your dates. Ask when you book and we'll hold it for you if it's open.
What makes you different from the other shops in town?
We're the only certified Tesla shop in Santa Barbara. That means Tesla-specific patterns and procedures rather than generic templates — which matters on soft Tesla paint, the glass roof, and the camera and sensor cutouts.
Will tint interfere with Autopilot or my glass roof antenna?
No. XR series film is nano-ceramic with no metal content, so there's no interference with GPS, cellular, keyfob or Autopilot. Windshield film is cut around the camera housing.
Can I combine PPF and tint?
That's the most common Tesla build we do, and doing both in one visit saves you a second drop-off. Select both above and the quote combines them.
Does PPF come off cleanly later?
Yes. Professionally installed XPEL film removes without damaging factory paint, which is exactly why it protects resale value.
What if my model isn't priced for the package I want?
Model S, Model X and Cybertruck PPF is quoted per vehicle because coverage varies a lot. Submit the form and we'll send an exact number the same day.
