Window Tint, How Much??

How much did you guys pay for your window tint? I got a quote from a pretty good shop around here of $225, is this a good price?

Re: Window Tint, How Much??

I paid $170 around me. That included the back and two sides. Get 5% in the back and 35% on the sides

Re: Window Tint, How Much??

out of curiosity, how's your rear visibility (especially at night) with 5% at the rear?

Re: Window Tint, How Much??

it's hard to see. Sometimes I just turn the window down and use my side mirrors to back up. It's worth it. The tint looks awesome on these cars

Re: Window Tint, How Much??

I can see just fine at night. The only problem you'd have is if you're backing out of a driveway and there are parallel parked cars in the road. Even then just use your side mirrors and you're cool.

5% is definitely worth it for the back and it's really cut down on the interior heat down here in Texas.

I paid $190. That was including them stripping the old tint off.
It will have something to do with the cost of living in your locale.

Yeah your looking at anywhere between 170 - 220.00 to tint your windows. Get 5% in the rear and 35% sides. Cops are cool with that. I never got a ticket

Re: Window Tint, How Much??

So the lower the number, the darker the tint right?

5% ALL the way around. $170 bucks. Looks bad ***. Wouldn't have it any other way. I was woried about the law for a little while, but so many people have it now that the cops don't even bother.
