You need to fix ur sig pic. When you load the thread it asks for a name and password. Then your pic doesn't show up so I am assuming it is from you.

AGREED

I definitely agree with the black tint on white car. I would prefer to get mirrored tint on my Max...but Utah's tint laws are too strict and there aren't any tint shops here that sell real mirrored tint.

ahhh...that's tough...here in Utah the average is about $120 for a Maxima...my bro and I learned to tint on our friends cars, and our old cars, (highly recommended until you get the knack of tinting) and charged them the cost of the tint. Once you get it down you just have to pay for the tint, my previous 96 GXE cost me around $65 for the tint and about 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon to tint it.

Before you find the least inexpensive place to get your windows tinted, you should do some research...

Make sure they use high quality tinting film (i.e. Madico, 3M, etc.) Cheap ones will turn purple in the future. Also, the high quality ones usually have a lifetime warranty.

Make sure that the rear windshield will be done in one piece. Any place that does it in two should not be considered.

For the roll up windows, find out whether the shop will do the tint all the way up. Some places do and some leave a little gap. Also, any professional tinting place should not have to take apart the doors to tint the roll up windows.

Lastly, check out the shop's work. Also, IMHO, I would prefer to go to a place that ONLY does window tinting. A place that does alarms, stereos, and window tinting may also be good, but why not go to a place that you know will do a great job? It's all up to you.

I agree with everything Calsonic has stated here. I went for the high quality so I would never have an issue in the future an ended up paying $260 for piece of mind.
