How much should I pay for tints?

I have an appointment for 9 in the morning to get an estimate on 35% tints, what is the most I should pay?

I paid $250 for 20% all around. You could get a little better price. Just make sure you get life time warrenty, metalized, not dye, and one piece rear window. I did not paying a little more for an excellent job. I know of people getting the same quality and warrenty as mine for less than $200 though.

Right now all i can afford to pay is sub-200$ ,so do think it is "do-able" just for 35% all around

Brian I know this is late but in our area you shouldn't pay a dime more than $140 + tax, even for 35%, which IS illegal by the way. VA State laws are 50% up from, 35% in the rear, but any shop will do 35% all around. They just won't say that on the reciept and you ride with your own risk (of getting a ticket).

wow! under $200 for tint ALL AROUND?? I alwys thought it'd be much more expensive, I'm actually just lookin to get my rear door windows and the back window tinted.

I have a question tho, can you tint on TOP of tint? Or is it just better to remove the layer underneath? I say this because the car came w/ 50% tint all around and it's primary job is to protect the leather and interior from harmful sunrays. I'm not too familiar w/ tint and all, but all that protection comes on any kind of tint right?

yeah you can but it depends on how you want it to look. If you want something different than get the tint removed. Theres someone on here who put black tint on top of mirror tint or vice-versa and i think its the best tint job ive seen

i paid 60 bucks for mine, its good to have friends in high places
