Window Tints.....Cost??, how much did it cost you? Options

[Nibbe]

Ive got 35% tints all around exept the windshield and it cost me 250euros.

[jason]

finished mine up today, $40 for: 5% on the back one - one piece no seams, 35% on the back side two & fron two on the door, gonna put a strip of 35% prolly across the top of the windshield just a 4" strip, cept i have to take off my alarm antenna thinger, also found out my 3rd brake light burnt out today
whole process took from about 10am until 2-230 pm - only have a small bubble on the passengers side door =/ hope the heat gun or something can shrink that out

[creis]

about 250, lifetime warrentee and tuchups as needed. i think its 20%, did not want darker because of legality and because i like to see out my windows at night.

some bubbles will go away after when you first get it put on after a week or so...if it doesnt, try taking a credit card and mess with it, or take a small exacto knife and pop it

my celica cost like 225... for removing old tint + 20% all around... life time warranty
my civic cost 200... 35% front, 20% rear... life time warranty

these are the average prices around where i live...

[behindthesmile]

never been pulled over...
love my tints i paid 200 CND + lifetime warranty for it and its 3M film which means over time it wont turn purple..... 35% on the front windows and 20% on the back its dark enough actually and i had no problems with my back even at night ... its hard to see at 5% tint specially at night and winter so i dont recommend it

Is $275 too much for Professional Done Tint using Carbon Film with 100% lifetime warranty guarantee?

[jason]

leon - depends on if the guaruntee labor too in that warrenty, no sense having to keep paying for them to fix it, if its something you want then go for it, most shop round here are like 200~ so 275 is not too far outta it, if the do a good job, all the defroster lines work before & after and no bubbles - then id say it is =) just make sure you clean your interior up really good before hand so no dust/dirt gets in your tint, also clean the hell outta ur windows

[InfamousChappy]

ya if anybody has rear window tint, DO NOT TAKE IT OFF!! i did and it pulled all the defroster lines off rear window is always fogged or iced over now, sucks!

Use a razor around the defrost lines and you wont do that.

I've got 5% all the way around plus a strip for $120 done right. It is hard to see at night, backing up is a bitch and you gotta roll down the windows. Granted it looks badass..especially on a black car, you just have to adjust to it if you wanna see..or get something lighter. The choice is yours.

i got mine down for $150 w/ limo tint in the rear windows and i think 80% or so in the front windows.

[atif7x7]

149 CDN .. 5% rear windows plus rear ..35% front ..

Metallized film, Life time warranty.

[goferris]

from what i have been told (atleast here) is you can have the back windows as dark as you want. heck you could paint them if you really wanted to. but i am not sure on what percentage is legal for the fronts. maybe 40% but not exactly sure. personally i don't want too dark because i can't see out the rear window at who's following me. i drove my friends civic a couple weeks ago and he had some really dark rears and i had the hardest time trying to drive. i am thinking maybe 50% all around on mine if even that dark.

just how dark is 35%? or 20%? anybody with pics?

[LeonStryfe]

just how dark is 35%? or 20%? anybody with pics?

depends on the day. 35 is visible in a good sunny day from the outside, and it looks dark during a cloudy day. 35 you can still see when you drive perfectly.

I'm thinking of just going all 35's to prevent from getting picked on by cops cause there is a lot of anal ones here in NYC. I might risk all 20s so I have to see. Right now charging me 275 is too much and i'll most likely wait it off till summer.

Is $275 too much for Professional Done Tint using Carbon Film with 100% lifetime warranty guarantee?

i paid 250 for 15% all around with lifetime warranty.

if your going to tint i would get darker than 35%. that wouldnt be worth it to me. and whatever you do, dont mix and match tints, looks horrible

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

Mine was 130 for 15%

Hey guys do you know what type of tints (brand) they use? We have so much different pricing range that I'm definitely sure its the brand that differs the prices.

actually, I would think it would be the cost of hourly labor that would vary the price. a tint job costing $200 in new jersey would probably cost $300+ in california.

I think my mom got just the back windows tinted on her 05 accord for like $275 or so.

The quality of the tint increases the price by a lot. crap-quality tints either rips easily or turns purple withing a matter of months as opposed to better quality ones where u dont need to keep comming back to get it fix

WI has no inspections... least not in my area (NW WI) but, last i heard legal tints here were 50 for the front and 35 for the rears.
