does anybody know how much it costs to get windows tinted? my 98 GXE came with no tent at all, and it bugs the crap outta me. too damn clear. thanks.

also, could some people post some pictures of there cars with aftermarket tint? here in utah i can legally get 50% on the front 2 windows, and go all the way to 5% on the back. if anybody has pictures of tint, please post them and say how much tint there is on the window.

 

Depends on where you go, shouldn't be more than $200.

 

it doesn't cost very much, maybe 150 for some alright tint, but more for good, quality tint.

 

i paid $200 with a lifetimewarranty...depends where you go though ...dont do any tints for 100 and under though..chances are they're poor quality..and if i were you look around for places that offer at least a 3 years warranty...chances are you'll crash or sell your car by then :-D

 

Yea mine comes with a lifetime warranty. It costed about 180 and it was done by professionals

 

just fackin call up a local tint shop?????

 

~$180 is about right.

 

i cant call a local tint shop cuz i live in nowhere land kinda (town of 5500 people) but there is a big city an 1 1/2 away so ill go there and check it out.

 

1 1/2 hours or miles?

 

I'm not sure how any of this info will help since the shops around you will charge a different price then mostly everyone on here....but I payed $160 for lifetime warranty.

 

1 1/2 hours
it seems short to us, but for city people its a ways to go just for Costco and Wal Mart and that ****

 

My SE looks like a school bus, need tint. Good question.

 

Mine was $225 about 3 years ago. I got the tint accross the front window as well. Without that strip, it was $190

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried that tint that you can buy yourself, like from autozone, and put it on yourself? I know it sounds pretty stupid but with the right tools I think it would be possible.

Here is the tint, not sure how much is there but:

It proably isnt worth the trouble, a professional shop should get it just right without any bubbled, etc

 

True, but then it will cost like 10x as much. The actual tint is what i'm wondering about, if it's good quality. I can probably get some help from a professional anyway, it's not a problem, but just wondering if anyone tried buying those tints, and if they're any good.

 

Buying the tints fomr autozone is what isn't worth it. Putting them on yourself will f them up. It takes a lot of time and percision to do it yourself. If you screw up it'll bubble and turn purple, then you have to remove them and s**t. Spending the money for a perfessional job is worth it. Get a lifetime warranty and don't think about it again. Do it right, get them done!

 

frodosmaxima- where do you live? Im in South Jordan, and my friends owns his own tint shop. He will do your windows for 100 with your choice of tint and 110 if you want your sunroof done.. he charges about 160-200 usually so if you want it done and want to make the drive PM me and i will give you the details.

 

i live down in a little tiny town called kanab by the border of arizona. im just gonna get it done in st.george i got a quote from there. i just dont know if i want to get 5% or get a little lighter like maybe 10% or 15%. i have school and stuff or i would drive up to the SLC area.

 

around $200....if you can u should get it all the same tint all around,cars with light tint in the front and dark in the back,in my opinion looks funny..mine is 30% all around its great here in florida.

50% tint no point in even puttin them on..

 

Do it yourself on the side windows because they are the easiest. Don't use atrius or whateve brand that start with an A.

 

do you have pictures of the 30%? im wonderin how dark it is.

 

my friend and i have 20 all around, but i don't have updated pics currently, so his page is www.cardomain.com/id/jcy98maxse anyhow, good luck in kanab, i am jealous though, i hope spring is working it way up here!

 

Frodo, I believe mine is 35% on the sides. So check what glen gave you and my site. Should get a ballpark of where 30% is. Tint shop should show you as well if you need first person sight.

 

20% is a really good tint. It is good both day and night.
