Why We Choose 3M Window Tint:
Window tint isn't just window tint. The film you put on your glass determines how well your car stays cool, how much your interior fades, and how long the install actually lasts before bubbling, purpling, or peeling. That's why we install 3M — the brand that invented window film over 50 years ago and still leads the industry today.
Built by the Company That Started It All
3M didn't just enter the window film market — they created it. Decades of research, patents, and real-world testing go into every roll of film that comes out of their facilities. When you choose 3M, you're getting tint engineered by the same company trusted by automakers, government buildings, and skyscrapers around the world.
Superior Heat Rejection
Cheap dyed films block a little light and call it a day. 3M's Crystalline and Ceramic IR series use multi-layer nano-technology to reject up to 97% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays — without going dark. That means a cooler cabin, less strain on your A/C, and protection for your skin and interior, even with a light, factory-looking shade.
No Signal Interference
Unlike metallic films that can block GPS, cell service, Bluetooth, tire pressure sensors, and toll transponders, 3M's premium films are completely non-metallic. Your tech works exactly the way it's supposed to.
Won't Turn Purple. Won't Bubble. Won't Fail.
The cheap tint you see fading to purple on older cars? That's dyed film breaking down under UV exposure. 3M films are engineered to stay true to color for the life of the film — backed by a nationwide manufacturer's lifetime warranty that follows the vehicle, not just the install.
Real Protection, Not Just Looks
Beyond the look, 3M tint blocks 99% of harmful UV rays — the same rays that crack dashboards, fade leather, and cause skin damage on long drives. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends 3M films as an effective UV protectant. Not many tints can say that.
The Bottom Line
You can find cheaper tint. You won't find better. When you're trusting a film to live on your car for years through Colorado sun, snow, and everything in between, 3M is the only name that earns its spot on every vehicle we touch.
Why Summit Customs,
Not all shops are built the same:
- Plenty of shops will take your money and slap on whatever film or vinyl they have on the shelf. We do things differently — and you'll feel that difference the moment your vehicle is done.
- Premium materials only We stock top-tier brands — not whatever's cheapest on the supplier list. Every film and vinyl we use is chosen for performance and longevity.
- Installation done right We take our time. Clean edges, no bubbles, no lifting corners. Every install is treated like it's going on our own vehicle — because our reputation depends on it.
- No shortcuts, ever Cheaper shops cut corners on prep, surface cleaning, and curing time. We follow proper process every time — that's why our work lasts for years, not months.
- Backed by real warranties Our materials come with manufacturer warranties — and our installs are backed by our own guarantee. If something isn't right, we make it right.
The Summit Customs difference in plain terms:
When you price shop, you're comparing numbers — but you're not comparing the material grade, the installer's experience, or whether the shop will still answer the phone six months later. We've built our business on doing the job right the first time, using materials that hold up, installed by people who actually care about the outcome. That's not something you can find on a competitor's quote sheet.
Common Questions About Window Tint & Windshield protection
How long does it take for window tint to dry or cure?
After installation, window film requires a curing period of 3 to 5 days before you should roll down your windows. During this time, it is normal to see small water bubbles or a slightly cloudy appearance; these will disappear as the moisture evaporates. Depending on the weather and sunlight exposure, the film can take up to 30 days to fully bond and reach its maximum clarity.
Will window tint interfere with my GPS, radio, or cell signal?
It depends on the type of film you choose. Traditional metallic tints can sometimes interfere with electronic signals. However, ceramic window tint is non-metallic and non-conductive, meaning it offers superior heat rejection without affecting your GPS, mobile phone reception, or tire pressure monitoring systems.
What is the legal limit for window tint in Colorado?
Colorado state law requires that the front side windows allow at least 27% of light to pass through (Visible Light Transmission or VLT). For the back side and rear windows, the darkness can be much higher as long as the vehicle has dual side mirrors. It is important to choose a professional installer who understands local regulations to ensure your vehicle remains street-legal.
How should I clean my windows after they have been tinted?
To preserve the life of the film, you should only use ammonia-free cleaners and a soft microfiber towel. Ammonia is a harsh chemical that can break down the tint's scratch-resistant coating and cause it to peel or turn purple over time. Simple soap and water or a dedicated tint-safe glass cleaner are the best choices for a streak-free finish.
