KAVACA Carbon X Window Tint Film
Multi-layer carbon-based automotive window film. Carbon X rejects up to 80% of infrared heat with no metal, no dye, and zero signal interference — the smart choice when you want serious heat performance at a clean price. Installed in Overland Park for drivers across the Kansas City metro.
Carbon X™
by Ceramic Pro
KAVACA Carbon X uses a proprietary multi-layer carbon-particle construction to reject heat across the infrared spectrum. No dye, no metal — just precision-engineered carbon doing the work.
Carbon X delivers serious IR performance and a clean, color-stable finish at a price point well below our nano-ceramic films. For most daily drivers, it's the sweet spot of heat rejection, looks, and value.
96°F outside.
Cool cabin in.
On a Kansas summer afternoon, untreated glass lets up to 60% of solar heat through — turning your cabin into a furnace and forcing your A/C to work overtime.
Carbon X's multi-layer carbon particles absorb infrared wavelengths across the spectrum. Your cabin stays cool, your dash, leather, and electronics stay safer, and your fuel/EV range improves.

Why Carbon X
punches above its tier.
Carbon X isn't the most premium film we sell — but for the money, it delivers more than most "ceramic" films from other brands.
Real IR Performance
Rejects up to 80% of infrared heat — the part of sunlight that actually feels hot on your skin — using multi-layer carbon, not reflective metal.
99% UV Rejection
Blocks 99% of UVA/UVB. Protects your skin on long drives and keeps your dashboard, leather, and electronics from fading and cracking.
Color-Stable Carbon
Carbon particles don't fade. Carbon X will never turn purple, bubble, or go cloudy — and it's backed by a transferable lifetime warranty against failure.
Zero Signal Interference
No metal layer means no degraded GPS, no flaky Bluetooth, no LTE / 5G drop-outs, and no interference with toll transponders or keyless entry.
Sharp, Clean Look
A true neutral charcoal tone that complements any factory paint. No purple haze, no green tint — just clean glass that ages well.
Safety Reinforcement
An adhesive layer holds shattered glass together in a side-impact or break-in attempt — keeping fragments out of the cabin and the glass intact longer.
Seven shades.
One Carbon X film.
KAVACA Carbon X is available in seven shades from 5% (limo-dark) to 70% (nearly invisible). Every shade gets the same 99% UV protection and consistent heat rejection. Local laws apply — we'll walk you through what's legal in Kansas and Missouri.

01What is Ceramic Pro KAVACA Carbon X?
Carbon X is the mid-tier window film in Ceramic Pro's KAVACA® product line. It uses a multi-layer carbon-particle construction — no dye, no metal — to absorb infrared heat and block UV across the spectrum.
Compared to a traditional dyed tint, you get dramatically more heat rejection at any given shade, no purple-fade over time, and a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty registered to your vehicle.
02What shades are legal in Kansas and Missouri?
Kansas requires at least 35% visible light transmission on all side and rear windows, and that applies to SUVs, trucks and vans as well as cars. Missouri requires 35% on the front side windows and allows darker film behind the driver. Windshield tint is limited to the area above the AS-1 line.
We're fully versed in the legal limits on both sides of the state line and will recommend the right combination of shades for your vehicle. Medical exemptions can apply — bring your paperwork.
03How long does it take to install?
A typical sedan takes about 2–3 hours, and a full SUV with a rear hatch about 3–4 hours. We keep turnaround quick and careful, and we offer a comfortable lounge with Wi-Fi if you'd like to wait. Curing is virtually complete by the time you drive off — full cure happens over the next several days, during which we ask you not to roll your windows down.
04Will KAVACA Carbon X turn purple or bubble like older tints?
No. Purple-fade and bubbling are caused by dye breakdown and adhesive failure — both properties of cheaper dyed films. Carbon X is dye-free and uses a Ceramic Pro manufacturer-grade adhesive tested over the lifetime of the vehicle. Your Ceramic Pro lifetime warranty covers both, just in case.
05Can KAVACA Carbon X be combined with windshield protection or PPF?
Absolutely — and as a Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer it's one of our favorite stack-ups. Many of our clients add a clear Ceramic Pro windshield protection film for full-vehicle UV and IR coverage, and pair it with a Ceramic Pro Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Pro nano-ceramic coating on the body. Mention it when you book and we'll bundle a quote.
06How much does KAVACA Carbon X cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle, the shades you choose, and how many windows you include. A typical full-vehicle Carbon X install starts a step below our nano-ceramic films and scales with vehicle size and complexity. The Ceramic Pro lifetime warranty is included — there are no add-on warranty packages.
The fastest way to get an accurate number is to send us your year/make/model and we'll get you a quote quickly.
