OVERVIEW

Window & Headlight Tint. Optical-grade film, Washington-state compliant.

Cheap tint cracks, purples, and fights heat soak on a tracked GT3 inside a year. PACMods uses optical-grade window films, Washington-state compliant headlight tint that preserves DOT light output, and reflector film that matches factory black-pack codes on every marque we touch. Turnaround is 1–3 days for most installs.

StartingFrom $650 (full window) · From $450 (headlight tint)
THE PROGRAM
01

Washington state window tint laws — what we install to.

Washington allows 24% VLT (visible light transmission) on the front side windows and any darkness on the rear side and back windows for passenger vehicles. The front windshield permits a non-reflective strip down to the AS-1 line. We install to spec and document the install with film type, lot number, and VLT for every panel. Medical exemption installs are honoured with the appropriate documentation.

02

Headlight tint — legal, output-preserved, and concours-finished.

Washington law prohibits any treatment that drops headlight output below DOT-mandated thresholds. We install optical-grade headlight PPF that delivers the smoked appearance owners are looking for while keeping light output above the legal floor. Same approach for fog lamps and reflectors. Every install ships with the manufacturer photometry data on file.

03

Smoked tail lights and color-matched trim.

Tail-light film, reflector tint, color-matched grilles, and OEM-spec black-pack film on hood vents, mirror caps, and badge surrounds. We match to the factory paint code via spectrophotometer where the film meets paint, so the boundary reads OEM rather than aftermarket.

04

Why optical-grade matters on a luxury car.

Bargain film purples in 12–18 months, telegraphs heat-soak distortion across the back glass on a hot day, and delaminates at the edges first. Optical-grade film holds its colour fidelity for the full warranty window, doesn’t affect rear-camera or radar visibility, and edge-wraps cleanly under door rubber. We carry one tier of film. That’s the tier.

FAQ

Common questions. Window & Headlight Tint.

Q/01How dark can window tint be in Washington?
Washington state allows 24% VLT on the front side windows and any darkness on the rear side and back windows for passenger vehicles. The front windshield permits a non-reflective strip down to the AS-1 line. We install to spec and provide documentation.
Q/02Is headlight tint legal in Washington?
Washington restricts how dark headlights can be tinted and prohibits any treatment that reduces light output below DOT-mandated thresholds. PACMods installs optical-grade headlight film that delivers the smoked look while preserving output above the legal floor.
Q/03How long does a tint install take?
Full window tint on a four-door takes 4–6 hours and we usually have the car back the same day. Headlight and reflector tint adds another half-day for cure time. Combined window + headlight + trim install is typically 1–3 days end to end.
Q/04How long does paint protection film last?
Professionally installed Ultrafit paint protection film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, and delamination. In Pacific Northwest conditions, the film typically performs well past the warranty window if washed correctly and not exposed to chemical contamination.
Q/05How much does PPF cost in Seattle?
Full-body PPF on a luxury or exotic vehicle at PACMods starts at the upper end of the Seattle market because we work exclusively with concours-grade Ultrafit film and back every install with a 10-year warranty. Partial coverage (front-end, track package, or high-impact areas) starts lower. Request a private estimate for a vehicle-specific quote.
Q/06What paint protection film do you install?
PACMods installs Ultrafit — a top-tier self-healing paint protection film with a 10-year warranty. It is optically clear, hydrophobic, and swirl-resistant; we select the coverage tier and finish (gloss or matte) per vehicle and intended use, from daily-driven streets to dedicated track time.
Q/07How do I pay, and do you take a deposit?
We accept credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. Payment is due on completion, before the vehicle leaves, unless the written quote says otherwise. A deposit may be required where the build needs parts we order in and those parts come to more than $500 — it covers the order, and it is set out on the written quote before any work starts. We do not bill insurance carriers, so the number on your written quote is the number you pay.
Q/08Do you work with insurance companies?
PACMods is an independent shop by intention and does not work with insurance carriers. We perform cosmetic and collision repair on a direct-pay basis for owners who want concours-quality work without the carrier-driven shortcuts that compromise luxury vehicles. We can help you understand what an insurance reimbursement might cover, but the work itself is between you and us.

Dustin did an amazing professional job on the ppf and window tint for my tesla. After a rock chip day 1 of purchase I reached out to him and was contacted back in maybe 20 minutes. He gave an honest estimate, great price, reccomended a level of protection specific to the vehicle and even offered to touchup the chip prior to ppf. Dropped the car off on friday and had it back monday morning with factory matched front tint, windshield, and full frontal ppf. The edges are all perfectly hidden, the tint was flawless and after the service a complimentary towel and decals were left in the vehicle. I work in aerospace maintenance and worked as an automobile mechanic so I can confidently say I have seen top tier and bottom tier work. Dustin falls into the top tier category. He even reached out a few days later to ensure I was satisfied with the work. I highly recommend him for any vehicle maintenance, paint, ppf, tint, or custom build/modifications.
