Professional Auto Window Tinting in Hockley, TX
If you've ever climbed into a vehicle that's been sitting under the Texas sun for a few hours, you know exactly what Hockley summers feel like inside a car. The seats burn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What XPEL films does Prestige Window Tinting use for automotive installs?
We install two XPEL nano-ceramic film lines for vehicles: XPEL Prime XR Black and XPEL Prime XR Plus. XR Black delivers 80% infrared heat rejection, while XR Plus reaches 98%. Both are available in six VLT options and are designed exclusively for automotive use. Neither film interferes with GPS, Bluetooth, or cellular signals.
How does DAP computer-cut software improve the installation?
XPEL DAP software generates a precise cut pattern based on your vehicle's exact year, make, and model. This means every piece of film is pre-cut before it touches your windows. No hand-trimming on the glass, no guesswork, and no risk of uneven edges. The result is a cleaner, more accurate fit than what manual cutting can produce.
Is window tinting legal in Hockley, TX?
Yes. Window tinting is legal in Texas as long as it meets state regulations on VLT and reflectivity. Front side windows must allow at least 25% of light through. At Prestige Window Tinting, every install is done in compliance with Texas law for your specific vehicle type, so there's nothing to worry about on that front.
Does Prestige Window Tinting work on high-end and luxury vehicles?
