Why tint

More than dark
windows.

Quality film isn't cosmetic — it's comfort, protection and resale value. Here's what the right tint actually does for your car.

0%

UV rays blocked — protects your skin and stops the dash & seats from fading and cracking.

0%

Less heat in the cabin with ceramic film — a cooler car and a lighter load on your A/C.

0%

Glare cut for safer driving into sun and headlights, day or night.

~1.5hr

Full car, all around, in about 1.5 hours — add the windshield and it's roughly 2. Wait in the backyard or drop it off.

UMBRA is a one-man garage in Dearborn Heights — and that's the whole point. Your car doesn't get handed to whoever's free. It gets Sajjad, six years deep in film, treating every window like it's going on his own car.

No rushed volume shop, no rotating apprentices, no inflated counter price. Just clean film, tight edges and a job that still looks right five years from now.

Good to know

Questions.

How dark can I legally go in Michigan?
Michigan allows non-reflective tint on the top 4 inches of the windshield and front side windows. Rear side windows and the back glass can go as dark as you want — 35%, 20%, even 5%. Silver and gold mirror-finish films aren't allowed. Got a medical exemption for light sensitivity? Bring the paperwork and we'll match it. We install to legal spec and walk you through the limits before we cut a thing.
What's the difference between carbon and ceramic?
Both look great and neither fades to purple. Carbon is the value pick — deep black, blocks UV and glare. Ceramic is the upgrade: it rejects up to ~60% of the heat, so your cabin stays cooler and your A/C works less, with zero interference on your phone, GPS or radio. If you park in the sun or do highway miles, ceramic pays for itself in comfort.
How long does it take — and how long does it last?
A full car all around (no windshield) takes about 1.5 hours; add the windshield and it's roughly 2 to 2.5. Most folks wait and relax in the backyard — black Iraqi tea on request — or drop the car off and come back. Quality film installed right lasts the life of the car, backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and fading.
How do I care for it after?
Leave the windows up for 3–5 days while the film cures — you might see a little haze or tiny water pockets at first, that's normal and clears as it dries. After that, clean with any ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft cloth. That's the whole routine.
Do you do more than tint?
Yes — vinyl wraps and colour changes, chrome delete, paint protection film, headlight tint, badge swaps and custom plotter cuts. Tint is the specialty, but if it involves film or vinyl on a car, ask. Small jobs other shops won't bother with are welcome here.
How do I book?
Fastest way is to text a photo of your car with the year, make and model to (614) 207-8133 — you'll get a firm quote back the same day. Prefer Facebook? Message the page. Appointments only, based in Dearborn Heights.
