well back in buffalo I can get my car tinted way cheaper, but the quality just dont compare, but typically I would say you are looking around 200 for all the side windows and back window, add another 25 for the sunroof, and if you actually want a good tint film add another 50


when I say good film, i mean if u want black u get black not black/purple, and heatrejection is much better on better films: the heat rejection of a good brands lightest 55% tint is better than a standard fims 5% limo tint, thats nice for reducing in cabin temps and preserving your leather seats

Yup, this is the place for tints. A place called the Tint Shop. Got mine done last Oct when I got my car and I love it. Have a weird dark bronzish color that is only noticably in direct sunlight otherwise looks almost black. Cost about $250 but the quality is amazing. You can also stop in anytime to have them fix anything that you think is wrong with it. Only problem was coughing up the extra $50 because they have to colver the dots on the back window. Price I pay for driving a 2k Maxima.

why get your sunroof tinted? You don't have the cover or something?

I got mine tinted, and it is definitely worth it. It still lightens the cabin, but doesn't blind me under any circumstances (which is about the only reason I ever closed it before). Also, if you forget to shut the shade while parking, it blocks a lot of the heat that would have gotten in. As far as looks go, I can't really tell that much of a difference from the outside, but I didn't have the car for that long before I got it all tinted and I didn't really pay all that much attention to how it was before.

Sunroof tinting is actually not a bad idea at all, but a little summer moonlight is all the while worth not doing it.

Why are people saying "tints" again? I thought there was a big flame war on the people calling it that a while back.
