Rep Power: 296

Hi,
I'm sorry for posting this message since so many other similar posts exist. A place by my place gave me a quote of $120 for the all the windows. I believe he recommended 33% on the back and 22% in the front or vice versa. And 10 more bucks for the visor tinting.

My friend told me that average price go for around a hundred. Well, after reading other post, this seems cheap compared to others paying 200-260 dollars. Do I need to worry about the quality? I'm going to be watching him while he is going to do the job.

What problems can i expect if the tint job is of cheap quality or job? How much did you pay?

I live in Hacienda Heights in Los Angeles, any recommendations.

120 doesn't sound that bad but on the other hand i have never tinted my windows... attracts thieves in my opinion

22% is pretty dark... in my area the legal tint percentage is 50% on the front and 35% on the back

i paid 110 for mine ask them if you can take it back and have them redo it if it starts to bubble...20% back 35% around

Hacienda Heights? Is it near Walnut/Diamond Bar? Is it that new place that opened in that asian plaza? If so...ask them if they could hook it up if two 7thgens shows up.

I have 35% all around and paid around 165$ CAD. You should ask what kind of tint they're going to use and how long the warranty is.

Homer I hope you didn't get those tints, there is a place right on 63rd and Cicero, a couple of my friends went there he charged them $160 for all the windows. I went there like 2 weeks ago and he told me $140 after I gave him some b.s. about bringing him customers. He said it's so much cuz he has to pull the rear deck apart to get the tint on right. He's also giving lifetime warrenty. If it scratches or you burn it with a cigarette you come back and he replaces it.

There is like a 30 year old guy down the block from me who just got tints and i hate to say it but his shi* got bricked like two weeks ago. Good thing he had nothing done to the interior.

Advice to theives: If your gonna steal or break windows atleast do it on a car worth it.

I paid a little over $200 w/tax. This included the fronts in 22% and the backs in limo tint (6% I think). It also has a lifetime guarantee.

i paid on 150 in philly and i got 5% on the back windows and 20% in the front 2 windows and i the windsheild done for free i think that a good price and it has lifetime warrenty

I paid $150 for mine and got 5% all around. The cops have never bothered me about it (knock on wood). I think to be legal here (Central Florida) you have to have 20 or 25 percent on the front and whatever you want on the back. But if I'm gonna pay $150, I want all my windows black.

Geez, I can't believe this, "I had to pay more because the tint was darker"....for $100, i got the rear window and two little sides on my coupe in 5%, and the two doors 20%, and that includes a lifetime warranty. The work was great, the guy owns two shops, and they tint all the Hondas for Frank Kent Honda in Fort Worth. I asked the man who worked on my car about the paying extra for dark tint, and he told me its just a joke to get more money from someone, and to never believe that because it costs him the same for all shades.

a 100 dollar tint job is a waste of money. Your going to spend close to 200 for one with a lifetime warranty and good quality unless you got a hookup. Lumar tint is the best and 3M is good as well. There are places around here that have a ad that says "Come here to fix those $99 tint jobs" So trust me unless you want it to peel crack bubble up or turn purple in a year go with the more epensive tint. As far as %'s 33 seems kinda light, I know everyone has their own state laws and preferences. I have 18% all around and it looks real clean.

i have illegal tint since you cannot see my interior with the windows up at night, but that the way the car came when i bought it so i'll say to the cop when i get pulled over, "the car came like this when i bought it" maybe i can play innocent and get away with no fine, but i know i will get a f***ing fix it ticket. dumb cops! my guess is that i have 5 or 10% tint on all windows, except for the windshield of course!

hey guys! what do you think about the v-cool tints? i heard it's a clear tint but the heat of the sun doesn't go inside.. i think it's ideal for the wind shield and the moonroof

damn i must have the highest quote of all, LA Tint here in manassas, va told me it would be $270 for 28% all the way around, with the lifetime warranty of course, and the highest quality tint they carry.

Oh please, a waste of money? I have Lumar tint and paid 100 with a lifetime warranty. That same shop has tinted 3 of our cars in the past, tints Frank Kent Honda's, and also the Fort Worth police cars. Our oldest car has had the tint for three years and has not cracked, peeled, purpled, or bubbled. If it does, there is a lifetime warranty, all for 100 bucks. The place we went to isn't a "99 dollar bagrain" tint place, they still make profit and do quality work.
