Beat the heat, kill the glare and block 99% of UV with premium carbon and ceramic film — hand-cut and installed clean at our Lansing shop. Most vehicles done the same day, with tints starting at $190.
Slide from factory glass to limo-dark and see the shade before you book. Every level shown is one we install.
Michigan summers glare and Michigan winters throw everything at your glass — the right window film turns your windows into a barrier that rejects heat, cuts glare and blocks the UV rays that fade your interior and reach your skin. At Elite Tints we hand-cut and install premium carbon and ceramic film for a factory-clean, bubble-free finish that lasts.
We tint cars, trucks and SUVs by appointment at our shop on S MLK Jr Blvd in Lansing — and because we run same-day appointments and stay open seven days a week, you can usually get it done today. Whatever you drive, you get straight advice on shade, film grade and the legal limits, plus a warranty-backed install done right the first time.
Nano-ceramic and carbon films block infrared heat so your cabin stays noticeably cooler and your AC works less in traffic.
Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays — protecting your skin on long drives and stopping your dash and seats from fading.
Darker shades keep prying eyes off your interior and everything you leave inside the vehicle.
A smooth, non-purpling finish that sharpens the look of any car, truck or SUV.
Call or text and we’ll usually get you in the same day — most full tints are done in a couple of hours.

Tint is measured by VLT — visible light transmission. Michigan is one of the stricter states on front-window tint, so it pays to know the rules. Here are the general limits for passenger vehicles; we build every job to keep you street-legal.
Top strip only
Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield, above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line.
Top 4 inches
Michigan limits front-window tint to a strip along the top — unless you carry a medical exemption for more.
Any darkness
Rear side windows can be tinted as dark as you like on any vehicle.
Any darkness
The rear window can go as dark as you want — no VLT limit.
35% max
Front and back side windows can’t be more than 35% reflective.
Available
Michigan allows a medical exemption for darker front-window tint with the proper documentation.
These figures are general guidelines and can change — Michigan’s front-window rules are stricter than many states and enforcement varies. We’ll confirm the current Michigan limits for your specific vehicle and make sure your install is compliant. (Verify current statute before go-live.)
It depends on the vehicle, how many windows and the film grade — carbon or ceramic. Our tints start at $190, and the best way to get an exact price is a free, no-obligation quote. Call or text (517) 930-3107 and we’ll usually answer the same day.
Most full-vehicle tints are done same-day in about an hour or two. We work by appointment with same-day availability, so call or text and we’ll set a time — we’re open 7 days a week.
Both look great and block 99% of UV. Carbon gives you strong heat rejection and a deep matte color at a great price; ceramic is the top tier — maximum infrared heat rejection with crystal-clear visibility. We’ll walk you through both.
No. Our carbon and ceramic films are non-metallic, so they won’t interfere with phone, GPS, radio or keyless-entry signals.
