Smart Film for Sunroofs, Glass Roofs & Side Windows in South Carolina

Clear sky or blackout. One tap.

Your glass roof is the best view in the car and the reason your head cooks at 3pm. Smart film takes your sunroof or side windows from clear to dark with one tap. You pick the shade: black, dark gray, light gray or white frost. Press a button or just say it. We're the only shop in South Carolina that installs it. Starts at $1,500+. We have 2 kits in the shop right now, so it's waitlist only.

no thanks, i'll keep cooking under the glass

Roof and side windows

Not just the roof.
Every window.

Smart film goes on your sunroof and your side windows. Tap once and the whole cabin goes private, so you can nap at work, change after the gym or sleep in your Tesla on a road trip.

South Carolina limits how dark your side windows can be while you drive. We'll tell you which shade is legal for your car on the call.

Vlad, owner of Upstate Auto Styling in Spartanburg
The first time I tapped this roof from clear to dark, I just sat there and laughed. It feels like your car got an upgrade from the future. Sunny drive to work? Make it dark. Pretty night out? Make it clear and look up at the sky. I've worked on cars since 2021, and this is the one I can't stop showing people. We're the only shop in South Carolina that puts it on, so I want every car we do to come out right.Vlad · Owner, Upstate Auto Styling

Had to delete my last 5 star Google to leave another one because I'm a repeat customer. That's already a good sign. Earlier this year I had my front windows and windshield ceramic tinted by Upstate Auto Styling. Last month, a rock cracked my windshield so when I got it replaced, heading right back there was my first stop. …

Absolutely love these guys. We had the windows of my caddy tinted. Yuri, the tint installer, is great! We're getting our Ram done as well. Quick appointments, within a week. Couple hours for the tints, without the windshield. I recommend Upstate, if you're wanting precision, quality tints. Update: My rear window tint had started to bubble a bit, for some strange reason. …

I've been looking for someone to replace the window tint on the back windshield of my car for weeks. One was too busy, most were too expensive, some never responded. That's NOT the experience I had at Upstate Auto Styling in Spartanburg! …

We were looking to add tint to our vehicle. We have never had ceramic but we're curious about it. They have a lamp inside to show you the difference between ceramic vs. standard tint. With their current promo, and the difference in temperature rejection, it was an easy choice. They were very patient and answered all my questions. …

Hello everyone, just want to reach out and tell you about my wonderful experience with Upstate Auto Styling. They picked up my truck on day 1. The truck already had amazing looks, but they went the extra mile and took it over and beyond. I got the trak pak choice of ppf, blacked out tint on the back, with legal tint on driver, passenger, and windshield. The rest of the truck got 4 year ceramic and it looks tough. …

Upstate Auto Styling did an awesome job tinting the windows on my daughter’s 2023 Jetta. I was really impressed with the ceramic tint placed on the windshield as it greatly reduced the heat from the sun. The tinted windows really rocks her Jetta so I decided to have the windows tinted in my 2006 Toyota Highlander. Of course I had the ceramic tint placed on my windshield also. …

Great job, called on a Friday they had an opening the next day. Got in and had a consult for the best way to handle my truck due to factory tint on the rear windows. Was advised to go clear over factory tint to get the ceramic advantage and do the regular ceramic tint on the front windows and the clear 70% on the windshield. …

I received a ceramic coating and front windshield tint on my 2021 corvette. Vlad made the process of booking the appointment very smooth! Sergio did a phenomenal job with ceramic coating! Couldn’t be happier with the finished product!

Went in for a basic front window match and strip on front windshield. Service and response time was quick and easy. Sat in waiting room during lunch and was back to work in no time. Ceramic tint works very well with summer heat. Highly recommend!

To the point the prices are premium and the service and workmanship are worth it. Did my windshield today 6/10/25 gr8 job. Did my Freightliner Cascadia a year ago excellent job. If you take pride in your ride these are the people you want RIGHT HERE.

Had my Ford Transit Connect front windshield visor strip and two front windows done, WOW what a difference it has made in looks as well as comfort! Thanks team

Quality installation of Ceramic Tint. Excellent attention to details. I had front windshield fully tinted along with the rest of the vehicle's windows in 35 VLT tint. Car looks badass but if I start getting stopped/cited I'll have front windshield tint removed up to ASA line.

Questions

Ask me anything
about smart film.

Tap a question and I'll answer it like I would at the counter. Wiring, battery, warranty, price. No sales talk.

Lifetime film warranty. 3 years on the electrical.

What does it cost?+

It starts at $1,500+. Your exact price depends on your car's glass, and we give it to you on the call.

Why is it a waitlist?+

Kits are limited, so we install in the order people sign up. Join now to hold your place.

What cars can you do?+

Just about any car. Teslas, exotics and everyday cars, on the glass roof, sunroof or side windows. We confirm your exact glass on the call.

Do you serve my area? +

Yes. We're the only shop in South Carolina installing it, so whether you're in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville or anywhere else in the state, we've got you. The install is done at our shop in Spartanburg.

How do I switch it? +

Press the button or say it. Your film goes from clear to the shade you picked and back.

Can I switch between shades? +

No. Each shade is its own film. You pick the one you want when we install it, and it switches between clear and that shade.

How long is the install?+

Depends on the car and the glass. We give you the exact time when we call you back.

Does it block heat and UV?+

Yes. Shaded, it blocks up to 92% of solar heat (blackout) and 99%+ of UV. Clear, it still blocks 99% of UV. Manufacturer specs.

What's the warranty?+

Lifetime warranty on the film, and 3 years on the electrical parts. The film is rated for over 1,000,000 on/off switches.

Is the wiring safe? +

Yes. We run the wire behind your trim, the same way a dash cam gets installed, and nothing gets cut out of your headliner. It's on its own fuse, so it can't mess with the rest of your car's electrical.

Will it drain my battery? +

No. It only runs when your car is on, so it won't drain your battery sitting in the driveway.

What happens when the car is off? +

The film goes back to shaded. That keeps your car cooler while it sits in a parking lot.

What does it look like from outside? +

Shaded, it looks like dark tinted glass. Clear, it looks like normal glass. Nobody can tell it's smart film until you switch it.

Is it legal? +

On the roof, yes, any shade. On side windows, South Carolina has tint limits, and we'll tell you which shade is legal for your windows on the call.

Will it damage my glass? +

No. It goes on your glass like tint does. Nothing gets drilled or cut.

What if it stops working? +

Call us. The film has a lifetime warranty and the electrical has a 3-year warranty, so we fix it.

Does it work in hot and cold weather? +

Yes. It's built to handle a South Carolina summer and a freezing winter morning.
