    Window tinting

    Hey guys, how much did it cost you to get your windows tinted?

    I heard the back windows are a PITA to tint, and usually makes the price go way up

    Thanks... i would of put this in appearance, but it really has nothing to do with that.

    Mine was on prior to ownership but when i went to a local place for a quote, they said 200ish with removing the old tent and around 100 if the tint was already removed. I didnt think that was such a bad price. :)

          I think it all depends on who you go to

          If you go to a reputable shop it will probably be more, but your paying for the name and quality

          I got mine (5% all around) for 150 with 30 dollars for insurance, so if ever get a ticket theyll rip it off and put it back

          I would say anything above 200 is getting kinda pricey

          And the shop shouldnt do it by how hard it looks, rather how many windows their doing

            I got quoted $189 from a reputable shop, and a one-piece for the back window. Find a place that does the back window with one sheet. Plan on doing it sometime this summer.

              I got my back window tinted at 5% for 100 bucks. It really made a difference in appearance

                sorry guys that i didnt reply, but for some reason this thread got moved even though it had nothing to do with appearance.

                I called someone, and they told me it would be about $220 to do.

                My friend got his car tinted there (5 windows) and he paid like $370 or something (it may have been less, im not sure)

                do you guys think it is a good deal?

                  I got mine done for $145 at a reputable shop. The did the sides and the rear (in one piece too, not three) in 20% Onyx Black.

                    Forced the dealer to include a new tint job for free when I bought the car. They actually did it under the legal limit!!! ROFL! But the back was at about 20%. I wanted it lower yet. So about a year later I had a shop take off the old and put on 5% in one piece for $80. She did tell me that the back window is very difficult and commonly done in multiple pieces. Just something for you to look out for.:)

                        I'd say 20% would be safe. I want 5% on the rear, and 20% on the sides, but my dad is against it.

                              At one time, someone posted the % each state required for tint. How do I find that again. I am in W.A. state.
