Short answer
Offshore Window Tinting's blackout package combines a chrome delete on all exterior trim with dark ProLayers ceramic tint, starting from $949 for most cars, $859 for trucks and $1,099 for Teslas. Adding a full matte black wrap takes the complete conversion from $4,549. Front side glass stays at Hawaii's legal 35%; the rear glass goes dark where the law allows.
Key takeaways
- A chrome delete wraps door handles, window trim, grille surround, mirror caps and bumper trim in gloss, satin or matte black vinyl.
- Dark ceramic tint finishes the look and cuts cabin heat; fronts stay at the Hawaii-legal 35%, and rears go dark on sedans and trucks with mirrors on both sides.
- The optional matte black wrap turns the whole car matte black and protects the factory paint under it.
- Tesla blackouts (Model 3, Y, S and X) and truck blackouts each have their own package, sized for the trim on those vehicles.
- Everything is vinyl and film, so the package is reversible: peel it off and the chrome is still underneath.

How it works
- 01Consultation
We walk the car and list every piece of chrome: window surrounds, handles, mirror caps, grille, badges, bumper trim, roof rails. You pick gloss, satin or matte black for the trim and a tint shade for the glass.
- 02Chrome delete
Each trim piece is cleaned, wrapped in black cast vinyl with edges tucked, and post-heated so it stays put in the Maui sun. Badges are wrapped or removed depending on the car.
- 03Dark ceramic tint
ProLayers ceramic film goes on all glass, with the fronts at or above Hawaii's legal 35% and the rears as dark as the law allows for your body style. On Teslas we include the roof and keep film clear of the cabin camera.
- 04Optional matte wrap
If you are going full blackout, the matte black color change is installed before the trim and tint so every edge lines up.
- 05Inspection and pickup
Every trim edge and window is checked under light before you leave, with cure instructions for the tint and the Hawaii compliance certificate for the car.

What gets blacked out
A blackout starts with a chrome delete: the window surrounds, door handles, mirror caps, grille surround, bumper trim, roof rails and badges are wrapped in black cast vinyl. Then the glass gets dark ProLayers ceramic tint. Those two steps alone transform most cars, and they sit under our vehicle wraps service. The third step, a full matte black wrap, is for people who want the paint to match the trim.
Every piece is wrapped, not painted or plasti-dipped. Cast vinyl from 3M and Avery Dennison tucks around trim edges, holds in the heat, and peels off cleanly if the car goes back on a lease. Trim comes in gloss black, satin black or matte black. Gloss matches factory black trim on newer cars; satin is the usual choice next to a matte wrap.
Teslas
Tesla chrome delete plus dark tint is its own package, on Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X built with bright window trim, handles and mirror caps. A Tesla blackout covers that trim plus the badges, and the ceramic tint includes the glass roof, which is the biggest heat source in the car.
Film stays clear of the cabin camera and the forward camera zone on the windshield, so Autopilot and FSD are unaffected. You can add stealth PPF on the front end at the same time; the Tesla chrome delete page covers the trim pieces by model.
Trucks
A truck has more chrome than almost anything else on the road: grille surround, bumper caps, mirror caps, door handles, window trim, badges, sometimes tailgate trim and bed rails.
The truck package budgets for that extra vinyl and labor. Most trucks already have dark factory privacy glass in the rear, so the tint work is the cab doors at or above the legal 35% and, if you want it, matching film on the back glass. Details by model are on the truck chrome delete page.
Going full matte
The complete conversion adds a matte black wrap over every painted panel. The wrap goes on first so trim edges and tint sit over finished film, and the result is a car with no shine anywhere except the glass. It also protects the factory paint under it from chips and UV, which is a real benefit on a daily driver. Timing for the full conversion is confirmed with your quote.
Legal and practical notes
Hawaii requires at least 35% of visible light through the front side windows, measured through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. Rear side windows and the back glass can be any darkness on sedans, vans, minivans and trucks with mirrors on both sides; the law does not name SUVs, coupes or hatchbacks, so we confirm the rear shade with you at drop-off. No mirrored film, no film that looks red, yellow, amber or blue from outside, and no film over the third brake light on 2013 and newer vehicles. You leave with the compliance certificate the law requires, and it stays in the car. The Hawaii window tint law page has the full rule.
After pickup, leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days while the tint cures, and hand wash the trim rather than running it through a brush wash. If you are comparing the package tiers that bundle a partial wrap and PPF, see the blackout package tiers page, then request a quote with your year, model and trim color.
Questions
What is a blackout package?
A chrome delete on all exterior trim plus dark ceramic window tint, with an optional matte black wrap for a full conversion. The result is a car with no bright trim anywhere.
How much does a blackout package cost on Maui?
A full chrome delete plus dark tint starts from $949 for cars, $859 for trucks and $1,099 for Teslas (the Blackout Starter, with a basic trim delete, is from $739). A full matte black wrap with delete and tint starts from $4,549.
How dark can the tint be?
Front side windows must let at least 35% of light through in Hawaii, measured through film and glass. Rear sides and back glass can be any darkness on sedans, vans and trucks with mirrors on both sides; on SUVs, coupes and hatchbacks we confirm the rear shade with you. We will not install an illegal front shade.
Do you do Tesla blackouts?
Yes, from $1,099. Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X with chrome trim all get the delete, and the ceramic tint covers the glass roof.
Is it reversible?
Yes. The trim is wrapped, not painted, and the tint is film. Both can be removed professionally to return the car to stock, which matters on a lease.
Gloss, satin or matte black trim?
Gloss black matches factory black trim on most modern cars and blends with gloss paint. Satin is the usual pick for a matte-wrapped car. Matte black on trim alone reads a little flat against gloss paint, so we usually steer toward satin.
