Short answer
Offshore tints Ford F-150 trucks at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku with ProLayers film in three tiers: V6 Comfort carbon, V10 Ceramic IR and V16 Ceramic IR MAX. The rear slider is tinted as part of the back glass, the front doors stay at or above 35% VLT, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires, and the film is non-metallic so Co-Pilot360 cameras and radar are unaffected. A SuperCrew with back glass takes about two and three-quarter hours on V10 and is quoted by labor hours for your cab.
Key takeaways
- Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew each have different glass; the quote is by cab because the labor hours differ.
- The rear slider is part of the job. The fixed panes and the sliding center pane are each filmed so the back glass reads as one shade.
- Front doors stay at or above 35% VLT under Hawaii law; the rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides.
- ProLayers ceramic film is non-metallic, so Co-Pilot360 cameras, radar, phone signal and the truck's own antennas work as before.
- Most F-150s are in and out the same day; a SuperCrew on V10 ceramic is about two and three-quarter hours.

How it works
- 01Cab and year
Tell us Regular Cab, SuperCab or SuperCrew, the model year and whether the back glass is fixed, a manual slider or a power slider. That sets the pattern and the hours.
- 02Film and shade
Samples go on the truck's own glass. Front doors at the legal shade; rear doors and back glass to your preference.
- 03Glass prep
Every pane is cleaned inside and out, old film or adhesive is removed, and the slider track is cleared so nothing gets trapped under the film.
- 04Cut and install
Film is plotter-cut to the F-150 pattern, so no blade touches your glass. It is applied wet, squeegeed and heat-shrunk to the curved back glass.
- 05Check and cure
The truck is checked under lights, and you get the cure and care guidance and the film terms at pickup.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Cab
- Regular Cab has two doors and the back glass. SuperCab has two full front doors and two rear-hinged half doors with smaller rear glass. SuperCrew has four full doors and the most glass area, so it carries the most labor hours.
- Rear slider
- Many F-150s have a three-piece back glass with a sliding center pane, manual or power. Each piece is filmed separately and matched so the back glass reads as one shade, and the track is kept clear so the slider still moves freely.
- ADAS
- F-150s from 2021 on carry the Co-Pilot360 camera cluster behind the windshield and radar in the grille. ProLayers ceramic film has no metal layer, so it does not affect the cameras, radar, BlueCruise or the truck's antennas. We do not film over the camera window.
- Tint levels
- Front door glass must stay at or above 35% VLT under Hawaii law, measured through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. Rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides, and 20 to 35% keeps the look even with the fronts. A legal brow across the top of the windshield, down to the AS-1 line, is an add-on.
- Raptor, Tremor and Lightning
- Same cab glass as the equivalent SuperCrew or SuperCab, so the same patterns and hours. A darker rear on a Raptor or Tremor keeps gear out of sight; the Lightning gets the same non-metallic film treatment as any other truck.
- Heat
- The F-150's upright cab glass and big back window take a lot of afternoon sun. V10 ceramic cuts the infrared load noticeably; V16 is the pick for a truck that sits on a job site all day.

Why the F-150 gets its own page
The F-150 gets its own page apart from the general window tint page because few trucks vary as much. Three cabs, three back-glass configurations and a camera cluster that arrived with the 2021 redesign all change how the job is cut and how long it takes. The film is the same ProLayers line used on every vehicle here; the patterns and hours are F-150 specific.
Three cabs, three jobs
A Regular Cab is two door panes and the back glass, the quickest F-150 there is. A SuperCab adds two rear-hinged half doors with smaller rear glass that cuts quickly. A SuperCrew has four full doors and the largest total glass area, so it carries the most hours. The quote is by cab because the labor is by cab. Tell us which one you have and the model year and the pattern is pulled before you arrive.
The rear slider
Many F-150s have a three-piece back window with a sliding center pane, manual or power. The slider is tinted on every cab. Each piece is filmed on its own, the shades are matched so the back glass reads as one, and the slider track is cleaned and kept clear so the pane moves as it did before. On a power slider the film is cut so the pane clears the seal without lifting an edge.
Shade, by the law
Hawaii requires front door glass to pass at least 35% of light, measured through the film and the glass together, with a 6% tolerance when the annual safety inspection meters it, and that is where the front doors stay. On a truck with mirrors on both sides the rear doors and back glass can be any shade.
A 35% front with 20 to 35% on the rear looks even from outside and keeps the cab private without turning the back glass into a mirror at night. Mirrored film is out, and on a 2013 or newer F-150 the third brake light stays clear. A brow across the top of the windshield, down to the AS-1 line, is legal and an easy add-on. Every F-150 leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the truck. The Hawaii window tint law page has the full rule set.
Co-Pilot360 and the film
From 2021 the F-150 carries its forward camera cluster behind the windshield. Ceramic tint from ProLayers has no metal layer, so it does not scatter radar or GPS and does not affect the cameras. Side and rear film never reaches the camera window anyway, and on a full windshield install the camera area is left clear.
Heat on a truck
An F-150 cab is tall, upright glass with a big back window and it sits in the sun on job sites and in open lots. V10 Ceramic IR is the usual starting point because the infrared rejection is where the cabin temperature difference actually comes from.
V16 Ceramic IR MAX is the step up for a truck that lives outside. Send the cab, year and the shade you have in mind and the quote comes back in labor hours and a total, with no surprises at pickup.
Questions
How much does it cost to tint an F-150?
The price is set by labor hours for your cab and the film tier, so a Regular Cab on V6 and a SuperCrew on V16 are different quotes. Send the cab and year and the quote comes back with exact numbers.
How long does it take?
About two hours for a Regular Cab and about two and three-quarter hours for a SuperCrew on V10 ceramic. You can wait or drop off; most trucks are back the same day.
What is the darkest legal tint for an F-150 in Hawaii?
Front door glass must let in at least 35% of light through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. Rear doors and back glass can be any shade on a truck with mirrors on both sides. The windshield takes a brow down to the AS-1 line, or 4 inches from the top where there is no AS-1 mark, or a clear film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%. Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts.
Do you tint the rear sliding window?
Yes, on every cab. The fixed panes and the sliding pane are filmed separately and the track is kept clear so the slider works as before.
Will tint interfere with Co-Pilot360 or BlueCruise?
No. ProLayers ceramic film is non-metallic. The camera cluster sits behind the windshield and we leave its window clear; side and rear film does not reach it.
Which film do you install on trucks?
ProLayers automotive window film in three tiers: V6 Comfort carbon, V10 Ceramic IR and V16 Ceramic IR MAX.
Does tint help with interior fading?
Yes. Ceramic film blocks most UV, which is what fades the dash and seats on a truck that parks outside. The cure and care guidance comes with the truck at pickup.
