What people are saying about our work
“Alset Custom did a great job! Got my GR86 tinted with XPEL XR PLUS Ceramic tint! Kyle made me feel like I didn't have to stress about getting my car protected and wasn't too pushy. Definitely a spot to go for locals looking for Paint Protection Film, window tint, & Ceramic Coating!”
“XPEL certified. These guys know what they are doing! They tinted, PPF, and ceramic coated my Escalade with XPEL exclusive products. Amazing results! Look no further than Alset Custom. They know how to deal with high end vehicles.”
“Had the new Model Y windows tinted using the XPEL XR Plus and it looks really good. I also learned XPEL comes with lifetime warranty. The setup is nice and I was able to answer emails for work while waiting roughly two hours. Recommend the product and this business.”
“I couldn't be happier with the job WORX Performance did on my Range Rover! From start to finish Elves was professional, nice, and very passionate about his work! The tint came out absolutely flawless, super clean edges and the perfect shade I asked for.”
“Worx Performance PERFECTED my Genesis tint, feels like a totally new car! Fair price, fast, organized and super detail-oriented. Elves offered great communication, answered all my questions and was very patient helping me find the best tint options for me.”
“I brought my 2024 Kia Telluride in to have the windshield & front passenger/driver windows done. Elves did a great job. The windows look fantastic & the customer service was terrific. The ceramic tint will definitely help out with the longevity of my car.”
What actually cuts the heat
The biggest myth in tint is that darker glass means a cooler cabin. It doesn't. The cooling comes from how the film is built — nano-ceramic particles in the film that block infrared heat — not from how dark the window looks. A lighter ceramic film can keep the cabin cooler than a darker cheap film. We use one film, not a tiered upsell.
XPEL PRIME XR PLUS blocks heat, cuts glare, and stops UV without interfering with GPS, cell, or toll signals. Florida law caps front side windows at 28% VLT and rear glass at 15%. We install within those limits and walk you through the tradeoffs before we start.

Why XPEL ceramic tint works
-
Heat
Real heat rejection, not just a dark look
XPEL PRIME XR PLUS blocks heat without needing a dark shade. You get a cooler cabin without going limo-dark.
-
Legal
Legal install, no guesswork
Florida allows 28% VLT on front windows and 15% on the rear. We install within those limits and walk you through your options before we start.
-
Windshield
Windshield tint changes the car
Most people skip the windshield and regret it. Ceramic windshield tint cuts glare and heat load across the whole cabin without affecting visibility at night.
-
Product
One product, not a confusing lineup
We use XPEL PRIME XR PLUS across the board. No good-better-best tiers. One film that does the job.
How does the tint process work?
-
Pick your coverage
Front two, windshield, full car, or a custom setup. We will help you figure out the right combination for your goals and budget.
-
Drop off in the morning
Most tint jobs are done the same day. We prep the glass, install the film indoors, and let it set before you pick up.
-
Drive away tinted
You get care instructions and a warranty card. The film needs a few days to fully cure, but you can drive right away.
Common questions
-
How much does window tint cost in Sarasota?
Depends on vehicle size. Sedan full vehicle (sides + rear) is $799. SUV or truck is $989. Complex glass — one-piece rear windows or oversized windshields — is $989 for sides + rear with a $899 windshield. Windshield add-on is $500 on sedans and SUVs. Roof tint is $500–$600.

-
How long does window tint last?
XPEL PRIME XR PLUS comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and discoloration. Good ceramic tint should last the life of the car when properly installed.
-
How long does tint take to install?
Most jobs are done the same day. A full car with windshield usually takes a few hours. We ask you to drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.
-
What if I already have bad tint from another shop?
We remove and replace tint regularly. If your current film is bubbling, peeling, or just not performing, we strip it and start clean with XPEL PRIME XR PLUS. The glass is not damaged by proper removal.

How Ceramic Tint Works
Heat rejection comes from film construction, not darkness. Ceramic particles block heat independent of how the window looks.

Factory Tint vs. Ceramic Tint
Many vehicles ship with dark rear windows from the factory. That privacy glass makes the windows look darker, but it does not reject heat the way aftermarket ceramic film does.
Factory privacy glass is typically dyed or pigmented in the glass itself. It reduces visible light and gives you privacy, but heat-management performance is not comparable. Tesla Model Y and Model 3 owners notice this constantly — the large glass roof lets too much heat through for a Florida summer.
