Blue Ford Fiesta ST — Old Dyed Film Removed, 20% Ceramic Tint Upgrade — Chula Vista

Blue Ford Fiesta ST in for a full tint upgrade at the owner's home in Chula Vista — the fun-to-drive, three-pedal hot hatch deserved better than the old dyed film it came in with. Dyed film fades and turns purple under San Diego's sun, and its heat rejection collapses within a few years, so we stripped every panel back to bare glass — steaming and peeling the old film and removing 100% of the baked-on adhesive, no purple haze, no glue lines, no ghosting — then installed 20% HiTek Ceramic IR across the windows for a deep, uniform color-matched finish. Unlike the dyed film it replaced, the HiTek Ceramic IR line is a true ceramic construction: up to 88% total infrared heat rejection and 99% UV blockout that never fades, keeping this small cabin dramatically cooler and protecting the Fiesta ST's bolstered seats and dash from sun damage. The film is 100% non-metallic, so there's zero interference with the ST's key fob, Bluetooth, GPS, or radio, and it sharpens the look of the factory Performance Blue bodywork without bubbles or seams. An honest note for California drivers: CVC §26708 requires front side windows to allow at least 70% of visible light, so a 20% front-door shade is darker than the street-legal limit — we install it at the owner's request with that trade-off clearly explained and meter every panel before and after. Mobile install completed on-site in Chula Vista, every piece hand-cut and heat-shrunk to the Fiesta's glass, backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, and fading.
