$170 for mine. I got it done 17% sides and 12% back. When I get a chance I'll do my T-Tops too (mayber 12%) and that'll be another $30.

I paid $120 for mine it's 5% all the way around. When I bought the car it had the strip on the front, and I just left it on there, sometimes it's annoying when you are trying to look up at a stop light-but I sort of like the way it looks. Some pics are in my sig.

I payed 65 for my two sides and it looks great. The back was already done when I bought the car. The tint on the side is illegal here in california, although I have yet to get any gruff from cops.

$180 for Onyx Lifetime Warrenty Tint. 20% sides, 5% rear. I'm spending another $75 to get another layer of 5% on the rear.

$140 for all of mine, it's the darkest you can go with out breaking the law. So I would say $120 is good

Is getting your windows re-tinted about the same as brand new tint, or more, or less? My tint needs to be redone on all four sides plus the t-tops, pretty badly too.

$120 is fairly reasonable if you are getting a lifetime warranty. Don't go the cheap route and get the 3 year tint. Trust me, it will probably last a little over 3 years and then you will have to replace it. When you drive around, look at the cars with purple tint and it is bubbly, they got the 3 year tint. Not to mention, the best price I have been quoted for removing tint is $50. So 50 + 100 is probably about the same for lifetime and no aggravation 3 years down the road.

Does the back window on f-bodies tint well? Doesn't the defrost cause problems or does it lay down nicely??? Do you have bubbles at the top of the window where the defrost is spotted??? ttt

I can answer you're question...
It will bubble eventually if you tint over all the little dots at the top of the back glass. The people that tinted mine are a very professional company, and they cut the tint before they got into the dots at the top...they said they have went all the way, but have had to redo it (specifically on F-Bodies).

Mine is 12% on the sides (illegal) and 7% on the rear, perfectly legal in GA...
It costed me $125 with lifetime warranty, but I have a lot of ties with the guys that done it...

Norcross isn't that far of a drive...I can call some folks if you think you might want to drive that far to get it done, and can't find anywhere locally, but you shouldn't have any problems being closer to Atlanta than me...

$150 for me... 20% rear and 35% doors.
The guy that did it even cuts the tint right on the defroster lines so it looks to be all one piece. Very professional job!

My dad said the factory tint on my 87' Iroc is in the glass....is he smoking crack? It's really bubbly and purple and looks terrible....if it's not that expensive I'll probably want to retint it. So it's "about" 50$ to remove old tint and maybe another 50$ for a re-tint?
