How Much Should I Expect To Spend For Tint?
I think I read before like $150, some people even said $250 for a good job. Well I have a friend whose bro works at a tint shop so he's doing it for me for $120. Is that a good price considering I'm gettin hooked up? I went to that tinting law page, and I think VA law is 32% all around. That seems a lil light to me. Are u still gonna be able to see in the car with 32%?

Rep Power: 0 I got 5% all around in South Cali for $140. I talked him into putting a strip in the front for $10. Lifetime Warranty, and I'm very happy.
Yes, I know it's ilegal in Cali, oh well [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I was quoted $175. Includes all the rears and a visor. Metal film and lifetime warranty. Anything less expensive is better, but it must include all the non fading and lifetime warranty stuff.

Check your laws dude, Mirror tint is illegal in a lot of places. If you want mirror tint you might have to do a fade of mirror tint on the bottom to balck tint on top. VA, I know, is really strict with car laws. Be careful.

Rep Power: 0 I know a guy that said he'd tint my windows for a 100ish. I plan on getting 35% front two, and 20% back two and back window. Or 35% front two, and 5% back two and back window. Should look good (=

Rep Power: 0 Is it really that hard to do your own tint? I do see a lot of people with bubbles and such in their tint though... I absolutely would not stand for that...

Rep Power: 292 I went with 20% all around. Kinda scared now though about gettin pulled over since I have such a hooked up car. Would a cop pull me over for 20% if it was only the tint? I would think so cuz I got a ticket once for illegal turn signals when I used the stock yellow [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG].

Rep Power: 0 dont try to do it urself its better to get a pro to do it cuz its one of those things that is a skill which improves with practice. so if u try it urself u will probably get lots of bubbles the first couple of tries. but if u are gonna try to do it urself only do the side windows leave the back one for the pro's that is impossible for an amature. i got mine 20% for 160 i have a sedan. sedans will be more expensive because of the more glass it covers.
