San Jose · Silicon Valley · San Francisco Bay Area
We make the film. SFS Bay Area installs it. Clear, matte, black and color paint protection film, fitted in San Jose by a shop that has worked with film for over twenty years.
Mercedes-AMG SL protected with LUXE Gloss Is Boss — installed by SFS Bay Area
LUXE makes the film and handles the warranty directly. Same company behind the product and the coverage.
SFS Bay Area is an approved LUXE ELITE Installer — the tier we reserve for shops we work with closely.
Over twenty years of film work, long before PPF went mainstream.
Keep the paint you have or change the color completely. Same protection either way.
We built this page so Bay Area drivers have a straight route to a shop we trust. LUXE runs the site. Every quote it produces goes directly to SFS Bay Area.
SFS is their own business. We don't own it and we don't set their prices. We make the film, set the standard for how it goes on, and stand behind it.
SFS Bay Area also runs its own website and its own range of services. Visit sfsbayarea.com ↗
Manufactures the film. Owns the LUXE brand, product line, specifications and warranty program. Owns, hosts and controls this website and its forms.
Independently owned and operated. Performs the installation, sets its own pricing and schedule, manages its own customers, and stands behind its own workmanship.
Pick a film and finish here. Your request goes to SFS Bay Area, who quote your vehicle, book it in and do the work in San Jose.
“Advertise, Customize, and Protect. With over 20 years of experience, passion and creativity, we at SFS pride ourselves in helping you achieve your dreams.” Film is the whole business — automotive, commercial and residential — with a design and print studio in the same building.
Full-body and partial coverage in gloss and stealth finishes. PPF is core work here, not an add-on.
A full design and print studio on site. It is why custom work stays in the building instead of going out to a third party.
Paint correction and wheel-off detailing in house, so the paint is right before the film goes on.
A working shop at 1381 N. 10th Street, minutes from Downtown San Jose. Open Monday to Friday.
Twenty years of wrap work — hoods, roofs, mirrors, stripes, lights. Color PPF asks for the same hands.
Published reviews name Mike and Manu and describe customers coming back with more cars. That matters if you ever need a warranty claim.
Business facts on this page are drawn from SFS Bay Area's own published website. SFS Bay Area offers additional services — window tint, vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings, commercial and residential film — that are outside the scope of this LUXE site. For those, go direct to SFS ↗
LUXE films are TPU, engineered per product. Protect the paint you have, change the finish, or guard the glass. Pick a direction and send it through as an installation request.
Genuine LUXE product, supplied to SFS Bay Area as a LUXE ELITE Installer. Ask to see the physical Color Series Deck when you visit — a real sample beats a screen.
Clear · maximum shine, superior protection
The clear one. Deep gloss and clarity, taking the chips, scratches and road debris that Bay Area driving throws at a front end. The surface self-heals, so light scratches and scuffs disappear.
Installed by SFS Bay Area — Mercedes-AMG SL
Satin · bold matte, invisible protection
A satin-matte clear film that turns factory gloss into a flat, factory-look finish while it protects. Self-healing TPU underneath, so the finish change does not cost you the protection.
Considered depth for dark finishes
Black paint shows everything. The Black Series is built for it — true flat and deep black color PPF with self-healing protection, for stealth builds and dark factory finishes. Available as Double Zero Matte Black, Double Zero Black and Galaxy Black.
Color change with the protection built in
Rich, uniform color and full self-healing paint protection in one film. Gloss, metallic, satin and specialty finishes — a color change that guards the factory paint underneath instead of just covering it.
Optical clarity, guarded
Optically clear TPU over the factory glass. It takes the rock chips, sand and pitting that turn a windshield into a replacement bill — worth asking about if the car lives on 101 or 880. The hydrophobic top coat sheds water, dirt and road grime.
Installed by SFS Bay Area — Mercedes-AMG G63

Film is only as good as the hands putting it on. SFS Bay Area does the work at their own San Jose facility, using a process they have refined over twenty years.

SFS Bay Area calls itself “The Bay Area's Premier Automotive, Commercial, and Residential Film Specialists.” Independently owned and operated in San Jose, with over twenty years across automotive film, commercial graphics, residential film and in-house design and print.

A TPU film that goes over your paint and takes the damage instead of it — rock chips, road debris, scratches, everyday wear. It self-heals, so light scratches and scuffs disappear.
LUXE films are engineered by product. Stealth Matte is 7.8 mil, Black Series is 7.5 mil, and Windshield Guard is 8 mil optically clear TPU for glass. See each product's current specifications for full technical detail.
LUXE Protection Films manufactures the film. SFS Bay Area installs it.
The LUXE range covered on this site is Gloss Is Boss (clear), Stealth Matte, the Black Series, Windshield Guard and the LUXE Color Series. Not every finish suits every vehicle or every job — SFS will confirm what makes sense for yours when they quote it.
Clear (Gloss Is Boss) if you like the paint you have and want it to survive; it deepens gloss and disappears. Stealth Matte if you want the car to go satin and non-reflective without a respray. Color Series if you want a different car entirely — full color change with the protection built into the same film, and the factory paint intact underneath for resale.
Color rarely photographs honestly. Browse the official LUXE Color Deck then ask SFS for a physical swatch before you commit.
Full-front — hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper — covers where almost all impact damage actually lands, and is where most people start. Full-vehicle covers everything, and is the answer if the car is new, expensive, or something you intend to keep pristine. Partial and track-focused packages sit in between.
SFS quotes coverage per vehicle rather than off a fixed menu, because panel sizes and edges differ.
Yes — coverage is available on approved installations. Each LUXE product carries its own applicable warranty term, and registration is required where it applies. Terms are administered by LUXE Protection Films, not by the installer, so the coverage on your film comes from LUXE and is published by LUXE.
Installation workmanship is the responsibility of SFS Bay Area as an independent business. Ask SFS what applies to your film and vehicle, and read the terms from LUXE directly. Warranty information ↗
It depends on coverage, the vehicle, and whether paint correction is needed first. A partial front is a materially different job from a full-vehicle color change. SFS gives you a timeframe with your quote — that is the only honest number, and it comes from the shop doing the work.
1381 N. 10th Street, San Jose, CA 95112 — minutes from Downtown San Jose, open Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Customers travel in from across the South Bay, the Peninsula and the wider San Francisco Bay Area.
No. They are two separate companies. SFS Bay Area is an independently owned and operated automotive business and a LUXE ELITE Installer. LUXE Protection Films is the manufacturer and brand owner, and owns and controls this website, its forms and its data.
ELITE Installer status does not create common ownership, partnership, franchise or joint venture between the two.
Use the form on this page — it goes straight to SFS Bay Area with your vehicle and film details attached. If you would rather talk it through, call (408) 634-3202.
One shop, on N. 10th Street in San Jose. Customers come from Downtown San Jose and the South Bay, and from up the Peninsula and around the Bay when the job is worth the drive. No second location, no franchise map.
