Sheesh, these back windows are about the hardest window there is to tint. How much did you pay? 1 piece or 2 piece?

I payed $80 for the whole car. The guy hooked me up a little because I was recomended by a friend but Im sure anyone could have got it done for $120 or less. All one piece, looks great.

I just got my 1994 Camaro done....It cost me $125 plus tax ($132.50) They did my windows 50% front and 5% back. This was all done in 1 piece too.

I paid $120 to have all the windows in the TA done 15% black. I couldn't tell you if the back is 1 or 2 peices because he's THAT GOOD. He tinted his windshield in his BMW

is it 5% tint? because the darker it is, the more expensive it is...this guy did like 5 of my friends cars, and the edges are cut so perfectly, 225 is well worth it...IMO

It doesn't matter what percent it is. It's all the same price, unless you get titanium or something extra special. Even then, I'd have paid maybe $160-$170.

oh, well this shop, the higher the percent, the higher the price. you can get 5 windows tinted for like 100 bucks at this shop if you only want 35%....I wonder why they charge more for darker tint. Oh well, its pretty much the only good shop in the area....

Re: What did you pay to tint back window?

I spent $200 on my last 92B4C, but this included the windshield too ($50 extra). I also went with 3M tint which is a higher grade, guarantee'd to never discolor or bubble. My 91Z28 was $150 because I didnt do the windshield. I know of cheaper shops but I goto this one guy because he's really good. He does the rear hatch windows in 2 pieces but you can't tell from the outside. The compound curves in the rear hatch make it hard to tint those windows. Alot of shops around here flat out refused to do it when they saw the car. I went with 50% windshield, 5% sides and rear on that old B4C and 5% sides and rear on the 91Z28, all of which are highly illegal where I live. Meh!! hahaha

Prices seem all over the map on this one. I guess it's more of a if you like the person's work, it's worth it deal.
