Film Type

Your vehicle spends hours a day in the Kentucky sun. The right window film turns that glass into a barrier — rejecting heat, cutting glare, and blocking the UV rays that fade your interior and reach your skin. At Elegant Customs, Denny hand-cuts and installs premium film for a factory-clean, bubble-free finish — the same care that has earned a 5.0 rating and 15 years of repeat customers in Bardstown.

Every automotive install is backed by a lifetime warranty on the film, so it keeps performing — and keeps its value if you ever sell the vehicle.

Why It Pays Off

What Automotive Film Does For You

Real Heat Rejection

Nano-ceramic and carbon films block infrared heat so your cabin stays noticeably cooler and your AC works less.

99% UV Protection

Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays — protecting your skin on long drives and stopping your dash and seats from fading.

Privacy & Security

Darker shades keep prying eyes off your interior and everything you leave inside the vehicle.

Factory-Clean Look

A smooth, non-purpling finish that sharpens the look of any car, truck or SUV.

Less Glare

Cut blinding sun and headlight glare for a safer, more comfortable drive day or night.

Lifetime Warranty

Every automotive film we install is backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and fading.

Kentucky Tint Law

Legal Tint Limits in Kentucky

Tint is measured by VLT — visible light transmission. The higher the %, the more light gets through. Here are the general limits for passenger vehicles in Kentucky; we build every job to keep you street-legal.

Front Side Windows

More than 35% VLT
Must let more than 35% of light through — sedans, SUVs and trucks alike.

Back Side Windows

More than 18% (cars)
Sedans: over 18%. SUVs, trucks & vans can go darker — over 8%.

Rear Window

More than 18% (cars)
Sedans: over 18%. SUVs, trucks & vans: over 8%.

Windshield

Top strip only
Non-reflective tint above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line.

Reflection

25% front max
Front side windows can’t be more than 25% reflective; back sides up to 35%.

Colors

No red or amber
Kentucky bans red and amber tint. A ~3% VLT variance is allowed.

These figures are general guidelines and can change. We’ll confirm the current Kentucky limits for your specific vehicle and make sure your install is fully compliant.

FAQ

Common Questions

Kentucky sets limits by window — front sides must let more than 35% of light through, and back/rear glass has its own limits. We build every job to keep you compliant while getting you as close to your goal as the law allows. Ask us and we’ll walk you through it for your exact vehicle.

Most full-vehicle installs are done the same day. We’ll give you an exact time when you book based on your vehicle and the film you choose.

Leave the windows up for a few days while the film cures, and avoid cleaning the inside of the glass during that window. We’ll send you home with simple aftercare instructions.

No. Our ceramic and carbon films are non-metallic, so they won’t interfere with phone, GPS, or radio signals.

Reviews

What Automotive Customers Say

“Denny tinted my truck and the difference is night and day — the cab stays cool even parked in the sun all day. Clean install, no bubbles, done same day. Been going to him for years.”

M
Marcus T.Bardstown · Automotive

“Had the cab on my combine done and it changed harvest season for me. No more baking in the afternoon sun and the glare off the windshield at sundown is gone. Nobody else would even do it.”

W
Wade H.New Haven · Combine

“Tinted the west-facing windows on our house and the living room is finally usable in the afternoon. You can’t even tell it’s there — but the heat is gone.”

D
Dana & Chris M.Bloomfield · Residential

“Best tint shop around. Fair pricing, lifetime warranty, and he walked me through the legal limits so I stayed compliant. Highly recommend Elegant Customs.”

J
Jordan K.Springfield · Automotive

“Did my wife’s SUV and my work truck. Both look factory-clean and the ceramic really does block the heat. 15 years in and he still does it right.”

A
Andre W.Cox’s Creek · Automotive
