Two questions decide every tint job in Clearfield: how dark can you legally go, and what film technology are you buying? Utah law answers the first — 43% VLT on front side windows. The second decides whether your tint actually rejects heat or just looks dark.
Tint here isn't cosmetic — it's climate control. Ceramic film rejects the infrared heat that turns cabins into ovens and blocks 99% of the UV that fades interiors and burns skin on long commutes.
Utah tint law at a glance
Police meter the combined darkness of glass plus film, and factory glass already blocks a few percent — so a quality shop measures the finished result, not the box label. Full statute details on our Utah tint law guide.

|---|---|
| Windshield | Non-reflective tint above the AS-1 line. |
| Front side windows | 43% VLT or lighter |

What tint costs in Clearfield
The price gap between dyed and ceramic film is roughly $100–$200 on a sedan — and it's the most consequential $150 in this industry. Dyed film darkens; nano-ceramic film like ULTRASHIELD SHADOW rejects heat and blocks 99% of UV at any legal darkness, without interfering with phone, GPS, or toll transponders.

|---|---|
| Coupe / 2-door | $249 – $449 |
| Sedan (all sides + rear) | $299 – $549 |
| SUV / truck | $349 – $649 |
| Windshield strip or full windshield (where legal) | $99 – $299 |
| Front-two match (factory privacy glass) | $149 – $249 |
