Spec 1 is a studio for high-end window tint, paint protection film, full color-change wraps, and wheels and tires. Every edge inspected under light, and a finish you'll notice every time you walk up to it.
Services
Each service is installed in-house by our own technicians. Pick one below for the full breakdown: films, packages, what the job involves, and how long your car stays with us.
01 — Window Tint
Modern ceramic films block heat you can feel without the purple fade, bubbling or signal interference of cheap dyed tint. We install ceramic tint from STEK, XPEL and Optima Film, and pattern every window to your exact glass and tuck the edges so the film disappears into the frame.
Our standard for every luxury and performance car. Strong infrared rejection, true neutral color, no metal in the film so phone, GPS and keyless entry work normally.
The highest heat rejection we install. Ideal for black interiors, panoramic roofs and anyone who parks outside all summer.
A nearly invisible film that cuts heat through the largest piece of glass on the car, without darkening your view of the road.
Glass roofs are the biggest heat source in many modern cars. A dark ceramic film keeps the light and loses the greenhouse effect.
California law requires front side windows to let in at least 70% of light, and limits windshield tint to the top 4 inches. We'll walk you through the rules and your options, including clear IR film for the front, before we cut anything.
02 — Paint Protection Film
We install premium films from STEK, XPEL and VOIR: clear urethane bonded to your paint. It absorbs rock chips, road rash, bug etching and swirl marks, and light scratches heal on their own in the sun. Every install is done from bulk film, trimmed by hand and wrapped behind the panel edge, so the protection is invisible. Choose gloss to keep factory shine, or stealth to turn any color satin.
Invisible with a proper installation. Adds depth to the clearcoat and keeps the factory color exactly as it left the paint booth.
Turns gloss paint into a soft satin finish while protecting it. Remove it years later and the original gloss is underneath.
Door jambs are not included in any PPF package. Jambs are an add-on at an additional cost because of the labor involved, and we'll quote them separately.
Want a new color too? We also install color PPF, which changes your car's color with the same protection as clear film.
| Brands | STEK DYNOshield, XPEL and VOIR |
|---|---|
| Material | Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) |
| Top coat | Self-healing, hydrophobic |
| Warranty | Lifetime coverage against bubbling, peeling and discoloration |

03 — Color Change Wraps
Change your car's color two ways. Color paint protection film gives you a new color with the same chip protection and self-healing finish as our clear PPF, and with over 300 colors now available, there's more choice than ever. Premium vinyl adds specialty finishes and a lower price. Either way, every wrap is a bulk install, with the film tucked behind the edge of each panel so none of the original body color shows.
Paint protection film from Flect with the color built in. You get a full color change and full protection in one film, in over 300 colors, far more variety than just a few years ago.
Premium cast vinyl in a wide range of colors and finishes, including specialty and color-shift films.
| Color PPF | Vinyl wrap | |
|---|---|---|
| Rock chip protection | Yes, same as clear PPF | Minimal |

Every painted exterior panel, installed from bulk film with the edges tucked behind each panel. Door handles, mirrors, lights and badges are removed and reinstalled so no original color shows.
Door jambs are not included in any wrap. Because of the extra labor involved, jambs are an add-on service at an additional cost. Recommended for dramatic color changes, so no original color shows when the doors open.
Gloss black roofs, carbon hoods and contrast mirror caps for a sharper two-tone look.
Window trim, grilles and badges in gloss or satin black for a cleaner, modern profile.
Door jambs are not included in any wrap. Jambs are an add-on at an additional cost because of the labor involved, and we'll quote them separately.
04 — Wheels & Tires
A great wheel is only as good as its fitment. We source forged and flow-formed wheels and performance tires, confirm every measurement before ordering, and mount them without a scratch on the lip.
Forged, flow-formed and OEM-plus wheels sized to your car, your tire goals and the look you want, with tires matched and delivered as a set.
Summer, all-season and track-focused tires, including staggered and run-flat setups. We recommend by how you actually drive.
Careful mounting that protects the wheel face and lip, then precise balancing for a smooth ride at any speed.
Coated faces and barrels shed brake dust and grime, so wheels stay clean with a rinse instead of a scrub.
| Bolt pattern | e.g. 5×130 on a 911, 5×112 on most modern Audi and BMW |
|---|---|
| Diameter × width | Wheel size front and rear, including staggered setups |
| Offset (ET) | How far the wheel sits in or out of the arch |
| Center bore | Hub-centric fit, or rings where required |
| Brake clearance | Checked against big-brake and carbon-ceramic calipers |
| Load & speed rating | Tires matched to your car's weight and top speed |
| TPMS | Sensors transferred or programmed so warnings stay off |

Process
Every job follows the same five stages, so you always know where your car is and what happens next.
We look at the car together, talk through how you drive and store it, and pick films, coverage or fitment.
Decontamination wash, clay, and paint correction where the service calls for it.
A clean, dust-controlled space and a technician who stays with your car from first panel to last.
Film settles overnight, then every edge is checked under the inspection light.
We walk the car with you, go over aftercare, and book a free follow-up check.
Questions
The questions we hear most. Anything else, ask in your quote request and we'll answer it personally.
PPF physically stops rock chips and scratches. A ceramic coating makes paint easier to clean and adds gloss, but won't stop a chip. Gloss PPF already has a hydrophobic top coat built in, so it doesn't need a separate coating. Most satin films don't, so we offer ceramic coating as an add-on for them.
Window tint and clear PPF installations are covered for life against bubbling, peeling and discoloration. Color PPF carries a 7–10 year manufacturer warranty, and we match it. Vinyl wraps carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty, and we match it for that year. No warranty covers damage, such as rock chips, or film that has been tampered with after installation.
Yes, once the film has cured. Window tint is installed on the inside of the glass, so washing the outside of the car won't affect it. Just keep the windows rolled up until the tint has cured, usually 24–72 hours. We'll give you a written aftercare card at handover.
Not on factory paint in good condition. Both are designed to be removed cleanly. Resprayed or damaged paint can be less predictable, and we'll inspect and tell you honestly before we start.
Yes. After tint is installed, a small amount of water stays trapped between the glass and the film. It evaporates over the next 24–72 hours, and once it's gone the film is fully cured. If anything remains after that, bring it back and we'll take care of it.
Window tint is always done the same day. PPF, wraps and wheel work depend on the vehicle and the coverage you choose, so we give you a firm timeline with your quote.
Yes. We regularly work on Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Tesla, Rivian and everything in between. If it has paint, glass or wheels, we can help.
