Short answer
Offshore Window Tinting tints and protects south shore vehicles at its shop at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku: about 25 minutes from Kihei via Mokulele Hwy (HI-311), about 35 from Wailea via HI-311 and Piilani Hwy (HI-31), and about 18 from Maalaea. Most tint is done the same day, and the ceramic tiers are the ones to choose for heat on Maui's dry, sunny south shore. Condos, vacation rentals and homes in Kihei and Wailea are filmed on site.
Key takeaways
- Kihei is about 25 minutes from the shop via Mokulele Hwy (HI-311); Wailea about 35; Maalaea about 18.
- Most tint is ready the same day, so a morning drop-off means an afternoon pickup.
- On the dry, sunny south shore, the V10 and V16 ceramic tiers are the ones that cut the heat you feel.
- An impact zone of PPF is done the same day with an opening drop-off; a full front takes one to two days and a full wrap about three.
- Condos, vacation rentals and homes in Kihei and Wailea get window film installed on site.
How it works
- 01Get the price
Tint is priced by your year, make, model and film in the online shop; PPF, coating and wrap prices are confirmed once the shop sees the car. The shop confirms the price and takes the deposit to hold your slot.
- 02Drive up Mokulele Hwy
From Kihei take Mokulele Hwy (HI-311) north toward Kahului and Wailuku, about 25 minutes; from Wailea add Piilani Hwy (HI-31), about 35. From Maalaea it is about 18 minutes via Honoapiilani Hwy (HI-30) and Kuihelani Hwy (HI-380).
- 03Drop off early
The shop opens at 7 a.m. on weekdays. An early drop-off gives tint the whole day and lets an impact zone of PPF finish the same day.
- 04Spend the day or head home
Kahului is about 8 minutes from the shop for errands, or drive home and come back. The shop tells you when the car is ready.
- 05Pickup and certificate
Every window is checked before pickup, and tint leaves with the Hawaii compliance certificate. Keep the windows up for a few days while the film cures.
Twenty-five minutes up Mokulele Hwy
Kihei sits on Maui’s dry, sunny south shore, and the shop is about 25 minutes away at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku via Mokulele Hwy (HI-311). Wailea, the resort and residential area south of Kihei, is about 35 minutes via Piilani Hwy (HI-31) and HI-311. Maalaea, with its small-boat harbor on the isthmus between West Maui and Haleakala, is closer, about 18 minutes via Honoapiilani Hwy (HI-30) and Kuihelani Hwy (HI-380).
That is close enough for a same-day job and far enough that timing matters. Drop off at opening, 7 a.m. on weekdays, and most tint is ready the same day. The shop is closed on Sunday and Saturday runs 8 to noon, so plan longer work for a weekday.
Tint for a south shore car
On a dry, sunny coast, heat is usually the first reason to tint, and heat is what the film tier decides. V6 Comfort is a carbon film that handles privacy, glare and UV. Ceramic tint in the V10 Ceramic IR and V16 Ceramic IR MAX tiers adds infrared rejection, which is the part you feel on your arm and in the steering wheel after the car has been parked at the beach. The front side windows stay at Hawaii’s legal 35% whichever tier you choose; the rear can go darker on the body styles the law allows. The Hawaii window tint law page has the details.
The Maui Heat package pairs ceramic tint with windshield film and a ceramic coating, aimed at a cooler cabin and less sun damage.
PPF, coatings and wraps from the south shore
Paint protection film on an impact zone is done the same day, so a south shore drop-off should be at opening. A full front takes one to two days and a full wrap about three, which means a ride home and a ride back. Ceramic coating time depends on the paint correction the car needs, and the quote gives you the timing. If you are doing more than one service, ask for them in one visit so the car only makes the drive once.
Condos, rentals and homes
In a south shore condo or vacation rental, the lanai sliders and ocean-facing windows are where the sun comes in. Condo and vacation rental window film cuts heat, glare and fading, with films chosen to fit association rules and installs booked between guest stays. Single-family homes get the same site visit through home window tint. All building film is measured on site and quoted in writing, never online.
Questions
How far is the shop from Kihei?
About 25 minutes from Kihei via Mokulele Hwy (HI-311) to 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku. Wailea is about 35 minutes and Maalaea about 18.
Should I wait or come back?
For tint, most south shore customers have a choice: run errands in Kahului, about 8 minutes from the shop, or drive home and come back, which is about 50 minutes round trip from Kihei. For PPF or a wrap, plan a ride.
Which tint should I get for a car on the south shore?
A ceramic tier. V10 Ceramic IR and V16 Ceramic IR MAX reject infrared heat, which is what you feel through the glass, while the front side windows stay at Hawaii's legal shade. V6 Comfort is a carbon film for privacy and glare at a lower price.
Do you film condos and vacation rentals in Kihei and Wailea?
Yes. The shop measures on site, checks the association's rules on how the glass may look and schedules the install between guest stays. See condo and vacation rental window film.
Do you come to Wailea for home window film?
Yes. Home and commercial film is measured and installed on site anywhere on Maui, including Wailea and Maalaea. Vehicles come to the shop in Wailuku.
Is the price the same as in Wailuku?
Yes. Vehicle prices are set by the vehicle, the coverage and the film, not by the town you drive from.
