I'm thinking a moderate 50% on all 4 and the rear. What should I pay for a good job considering I have NO idea what tint costs. I'd like to know if I was getting ripped or not.

 

I think $180-$200 is the average range.

 

maybe about $90-150 for a good job with wrnt., unless you have a friend that does it. Price may be diff in your local though.

 

Depends on where you live. Here in Florida that wouldn't cost more than $85. Up north maybe twice that.

 

yea i only payed $110 for limo tint all the way around here in FL but im sure its more expensive up north as its way more popular down in the sunny states

 

About $180 here probably.

The tint shop I went to charged $60/hr, basically. The guy wanted more if you wanted illegal tint.

 

Damn.. I'm gonna go there..
the last place I called and asked about the Metallic tint wanted $380 for it..
"regular" tint was $269...
whatever.. I didn't even respond to the sales guy.. just walked out of the store.

If they're gonna be rude enough to demand a price like that, I'm gonna do the same to them.

 

I just got Formula One done to my car, the Milleium Version, and it was $250 for all windows, a custom eye brow, and sunroof.

 

I paid about $180 for 35% tint for all the windows and the sunroof. I live in the NYC area.

Where do you live? Where are you getting the car tinted?

Hope this helps.

 

Well I'm in Buffalo. Its sunny here alot during the summer and hot too. A little cold in the winter but the summers are just like anywhere else. I don't see too many cars here with tint so I expect to get ripped off. I call around today and post back.

 

Mike, got my MAX tinted in Buffalo... i checked around at a few of the Buffalo places, and actually ended up going to a place called "Rainbow Tint" in I want to say in Amherst. $120 for all windows at 30% tint (llumar film). They do are really good job, and for the price you can't beat it. Let me know if you have any questions as I've had two cars tinted there. I would suggest checking there. BTW, what shops have you priced?

oh yeah, forgot to add also that they'll tint the windows whatever percent you want (5, 20, 30, 50, 70) if illegal (the front are the only windows to have a limit, which you probably already know) they simply mark on the reciept that the customer knows is illegal (for liability I'm sure)

 

up here in NJ I paid $209 for 35% front windows, 5% rear windows. It was single peice rear window (really nice and clean looking) and also lifetime warrenty.

 

I'm in colorado and I paid $140 for metallic 27% (the legal limit here) all around and on the sunroof. it had water bubbles for awhile but they went away and now it looks really nice...came with the lifetime warranty too

 

i wanna get some platinum tints but it would cost me more cuz i bought the car that came with light tints ...is it easy to take tints off myself

 

I knew prices from a few spots and everyone usually charges 120-180$, some places more if you want a certain kind of film or color..
I have 20% all around, (except front windshield, that would be very illegal ) Rear windshield is in like 5 pieces, no bubbles but I don't like how they did their measurements, the film is too far from the edge of the window when you roll the windows down it looks a little gay from the inside. The driver side door is also messed up.. Make sure where ever you go they give you a warranty againts bubbles or pealing.. and, 50%, that's almost nothing, look at 93 SE's pic, that's probably 50% or even less.. his looks darker in the pic then it really is

Yo 93 SE, I can see piece of my car in the back of that pic, haha, I still have to get mine developed.
If you want to remove your own tint, you can get this stuff from Pepboys or Autozone, it's special tint removal crap, you spray it on the film, and it should peel off. I started tinting my own windows in January, was coming out okay but I got sick of the cold and everything and had to remove the film off the few windows I did. I picked the corner of one, and just pulled it all off.. there was a whole bunch of that sticky **** on my windows but I took that tint removal spray, sprayed it on and used an ID or a credit card to scrape it off, came off easy..
Tint places remove tint as well, don't know how much they charge though.
