2004 Mini Cooper S — 20% Ceramic Tint: Sides, Back Glass & Roof — Poway
Blue 2004 MINI Cooper S (R53) tinted by BestAutoTechs in Poway — a fun car, tinted and ready to drive. We wrapped the side windows, back glass, and the roof glass panel in 20% HiTek Ceramic IR film. A first-generation Cooper S is basically glass on wheels: a huge windshield, steep hatch glass, and a cabin the size of a phone booth, so the sun has nowhere to hide — 20% ceramic on every panel behind the driver makes a small cabin genuinely comfortable in inland North County heat. The HiTek Ceramic IR line rejects up to 88% of infrared heat and 99% of UV, so the black interior stops baking, the A/C reaches temp faster, and the deep blue paint-and-trim combo stays protected from fading. The film is 100% non-metallic, so there is zero interference with the key fob, radio, Bluetooth, or any other electronics. Every panel was hand-cut and heat-shrunk on site, edges sealed tight, backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, purpling, and fading. One honest note on the law: California CVC §26708 requires front side windows to let more than 70% of visible light through and limits windshield film to the top four-inch strip, while rear side windows and the rear window can be any darkness — so shades deeper than 70% on the front doors, like this owner chose for the look, are a style choice we walk every customer through before install.

About This Project
This 2004 MINI Cooper S (R53) received a hitek ceramic ir — 20% side windows & back glass, 20% roof glass installation by our mobile team in Poway, CA. The owner wanted serious heat rejection, UV protection, and a clean factory-style look — exactly what HiTek ceramic delivers.
Our technician arrived on-site with all professional equipment, prepped the glass, precision-cut each panel, and completed the install in a single session. The result speaks for itself — clean lines, zero bubbles, and a factory-quality finish backed by our lifetime warranty.
