Hey guys..

I'm getting tint here soon.. I went to check the one local shop and they said about 200 to do my coupe. That's including doing the rear upper dot section in black vinyl too. He said it'd be another about 40 dollars to tint my sunroof (it'd drive me crazy if my sunroof was lighter than my windows..plus I always leave the little sunroof visor open). So let's say 250 to get everything done. But 200 for just the windows. Is this fair? Let's hear some comments on this.. From everyone BUT those of you who "know people". You don't count since you got it done for next to nothing. lol. But also, I'm having a hard time deciding on the darkness. In PA we're not technically allowed to have tint on the front windows.. But police wont' usually say anything unless it's like 5%..or if you're a douchebag. 35% is very safe.. But maybe not worth the 250. I was thinking more like 25% or something? Darker, but still visable..

Thanks!

 

I have 20% and overall I like it. I might have it re-done because to me it's a little too light at times, I don't want people to be able to see in. At night thought it's pretty hard to see in. I'm thinking I might do around 12% if I can find it. And I payed about what you're saying, so as long as they do a good job, it sounds good.

 

i'd stick with 35 so that you wouldnt have to deal with the police hassle..but at the same time improper sun screening is only a 25$ fine

 

I got it done professionally for $98 for the back 3 in 4%, including vinyl for the dotted part. And no, I did not "know people" in this case. But, the guy wanted $20 just for a windshield strip, so I chose not to get it done. If it had been all 5 windows, he was just wanting $119+tax

 

i payed 100 for 5% all windows except the front windshied that one is 50% looks great!
legal tint on front windows in CA is like 70% lol but fff the pigs

 

I plan on getting 35% on the fronts, and 20% on the rear 3.

Your sunroof should already be tinted from the factory. I know mine is

 

It is. But at work (I'm a valet), people always leave their sunroofs as-is and it looks rediculous I think. But I'm OCD too.. Maybe that's why.. lol.

 

paid around 2 bills for mine (no sunroof) but i took it back to add another layer on the back... 250 is a lil high IMO but not really thou

 

I think 200 for all your windows would be a good price. I had my sedan done for 100 cause i knew the guy but normal price was 200ish.

 

i got mine done for $150. and as far as how dark you wanna go thats up to you. i have 20% on front 2 and 5% on back 3.....in texas its a secondary offense for tint. they cant just pull you over for tint being to dark, they have to get you with something else first

 

in PA its a primary offense the same as obstructed windscreen which is anything hanging from the mirror

 

bought mine tinted. but it's approx $180 for all windows and windshield strip, and mine is 2%

 

I'll take my chances.. But that's why I don't want to go too low.

 

thats why i would stick with ~35

 

I got my girl's Mazda3 done for 135, they quoted me at the same time around a hundred even.

200 isnt too high cause in my hometown its more around that price. Just shop around and find the best deal.

 

I have 20% on sides and rear windows. Also have a 5% strip across front of windshield. It cost me $150.00 w/lifetime warranty. And I don't know anybody! lol

 

200 is deff fairly priced for our area. i was able to get mine done at 35% for $192 w/taxes. their choices were 5%, 20% and 35%. i went with 35 just so cops will hopefully leave me alone. 20% would be ideal but cops can sometimes be dochebags. the reason why our cars cost so much more than any others is because of the rear windsheild being so difficult to do. that's what most shops will tell ya anyhow.

 

$130.00 all windows rear seamless any shade. $200 seems kinda high unless he does the sunroof too

 

Exactly.. It was like that for Camaros and **** too. The rear window is huge. I removed my rear headrests, so that'll make it a little easier for them.. But yeah.. Id' love 20%, but 35% should be cop-friendly.. Where'd you get yours done at? I only checked at Auto Illusions so far.. But Total Image and Auto Effects are the only other two I know of..

 

Fella I went to school with has a small shop and has done all of my cars.
$100 all the way around @ 20% each time and a great job too.
Takes about 3 hours with all the BSing that goes on while we're talking but I enjoy it

 

make sure it has lifetime warrenty AND remember bro, you get what you pay for
