an auto shop $125 for tinting all side windows and rear windsheild, all done within 1.5 hours.

is this a good price? i was going to do it myself, but at this price it almost doesn't seem worth it...

thanks

 

What % tint are you getting usually that kind of price is for the legal tint which sometimes is just as good as having no tint.

 

30% block, which is what's legal in nyc. i don't want anything too heavy...just something to cut out uv...to maintain interior...to give it a mysterious look

thanks for reply.

 

Well in that case thats a good price tint in VA (most pop combo is 35%) is $135 and for darker or special tints $155

2002 Majestic Blue SE
20% Tint

 

yeah, that's what i figured, but i've never had tinting before...

it's actually my first maxima . had a 2000 jetta before, but it's no comparison to the 02 maxima se.

thanks for input!

 

I paid 125$ for the whole car, for any %. This also included a life time warrenty. I say go for it. Also, don't tint all the way to the top of the rear window.

 

er, why shouldn't i get the rear all the way to the top? i'm a novice

 

There is a whole nother trend on your question already... Some say the tint won't cure completely because of the dots, so don't tint it may cause bubbles later. I didn't get them to tint over my dots it looks better that way

 

thanks for the tip. didn't even realize that was going to be a problem...i thought it might look a little weird with tinting over the dots...

 

most of the 5th gener tinted over the top... I had mine done 1 year ago.. been through CA sun and Michigan cold... nothing has happen to it... 125 is ok price if the tint is dyed base.. REALLY good price for metalic base tint.. make sure you get something metalic (so the tint don't turn purple later) and lifetime warrenty.. don't use windex to clean the tint also

 

Hey just my opinion when i got my 2k max i went here, BEst Sound Security and Performance on northern blvd, close to francis lewis blvd. if your familiar with the area. I paid almost 200 if not that but they did a very very good job, cleaned the leather of my back seats and the rear piece was one whole piece. i would check it out first though, i hear the are getting very cocky and arrogant, and fugged my friends legend all up.
sorry no phone #, check yahoo yellow pages, fresh meadows ny.
good luck

 

Well if to cut out the UV is all you're looking at then you don't need tint at all. The Maxima's glass is already factory "green" tinted.

In fact that thing blocks out UV and keeps the interior + glass cooler. Once you put a dark tint on it the window will feel unusually hot now (because dark absorbs more heat).

 

I got Mine done for $200 kinda expensive. but i got the 3M limo tint good stuff. Make sure the tint is good quality or it's going to look like poop in the long run

 

hmmm...yeah, poop don't sound too good. i guess i should ask what kind of tint the guy uses. btw, which is the best quality tint to get anyway?

 

 

I use Formula One tint.. so far 1 year... no problem at all.... there is another brand that a lot people are recommanding.. but can't remember the name of it.. try the search function...

 

what should i be looking out for when asking what kind of tint he uses? do i want dye-based? Metallic? whatever else is out there...
which ones are fade resistent?

it really only seemed like he had one type...and it didn't look metallic to me.

 

if you can afford it.. get metalic base.. actually you shouldn't get Dyed base.. it will turn purple after a while... dye base is cheap..
mine is actually metallic.. but you can't tell..mine hs some reflection on it.. but not a whole lot... and make sure after you get it done.. don't touch it for 1 week, so the glue(or whatever they use) can dry properly, and don't use Windex on it.... and don't let them tell you that... metalic will give you bad radio reception.. it doesn't... plus who listen to radio anyway...
let me know if you want pic.. I can e-mail you some pic

 

hey, thanks man. i'd appreciate it if you could send me some pics via email. helpful advice. i wonder if my guy even does metallic tinting...

are there any other kinds out there?

 

what's your e-mail addres.. I can't attach pic using the e-mail system in here..., just send me an e-mail at wuy30@hotmail.com
I can just reply.. thank

 

so i'm calling around about tinting the windows on my MAX and found this place that's charging $160 for a metallic based "HPC" tint. i'm no expert on tints, but does this stand for high performance charcoal? is this an actual brand or type of tint, and is it legit?

much thx.. drudawg

 

unless u've done ur own tints before, i wouldn't recommend doing it. for that price, it's damn cheap. cheapest place that i know in atlanta is $150 and they just raised the price up to $175. but they do use good madico film.

 

craaaazy - Hey there..I just moved to atlanta..What place are you talking about for future reference....

 

is madico film metallic-based?

 

Where do I find out what percentage of tint is the most allowed? Is it the registry of motor vehicles? I'm in Mass.

 

you can find it out by pay a visit to your local friendly police station.. they should be able to tell you

Thanks a bunch guys...info was in the above url...looks like its there for all the states...

 

I bought my own tint for $19.99 and did it myself. It really isn't that hard. Takes a little patience but can be done. I have done this many times. My current car (94 Maxima), my prvious car (90 Stanza) and several other cars as well. And never have I had bubbles. It always looked just as good as the shops. I didn't even use a heat gun. I'm sure if I had a heat gun, I could have done it faster. I can do it in about an hour now. Actually gonna do my sister's Baretta this weekend.

 

got mines for 99 bucks they did a good job i can use windex to clean em, but i had 2 bubbles that would come out , he even popped the bubble but the tint had already gotten hard so , u got to be selective of who u choose

 

That's true, the " matrix" those little dots will cause the tint to bubble over a period of time so it's best to have the tint started just below the matrix.

 

175.00 for any Max. 3M Tint..any shade...lifetime warranty..Boomer McCloud...CT.. I had all of my Maximas done here. Rgeukar price is $225.00. That includes the sunroof too.

 

Does that also include a strip across the front windshield? Also is the rear one piece? If the answer is yes then thats a helluva deal.

 

Yes, one piece rear and no that does not include the strip across the windshield. Every other piece of glass though.

 

How did you get them to tint it for $175 if the original price is $225? Also is this price good at all Boomer McClouds or just the one in CT? Thanks.

 

It's all in how you talk to these guys at retail places and probably because this would be my fourth car being done by them. I get this type of luck nearly everywhere. Got the new $400 Motorola V60 for free from Verizon..This fine a** girl took care of me. I could go on but, ... u know.

 

I got mine for $150 and they are 5% all around! Actually, I got lucky and really didn't pay the $150 but traded something of equal value.
