Rep Power: 0 Some of the cheaper tint jobs will only last you a few years before they start to bubble and fade. If you plan on keeping your car for more than a few years, get a quality job that gives you a lifetime guarantee. Or you can plan on spending more money in a few years to remove the tint ($$$) and re-tinting the car.

As for a full tint on a 4 door I would say $200-$250

Rep Power: 249 When you guys get them installed, do the installers do it over the middle rear brake light?
Because to do that they would have to take out the back seat I think just to get to it, and my friend tinted his s4 and he had to remove the back dash for them.
( I just don't like the look of a completely tinted rear window, except for the brake light)

Rep Power: 0 i got a quote for $165 to tint my coupe. That includes tint across the 3rd brake light AND a black vinyl strip to cover the top of the rear window, since the tint doesn't look good across the "dots", and if you stop at them, there's a line. The vinyl covers it up. Im hoping to get it done soon.

Rep Power: 295 i just got my coupe tinted, back 3 windows, $150 ($161 after tax) they didnt cover the brake light, and it did come w/ a vinyl strip across the top in the back..

I had my car done at my uncle's place, of course for free...and some of my friends paid around 100 to 120. When he was tinting my car windows, he used a plastic comb looking knife to get near the rear brake light area. And I had windows tinted for little over 3 years and no problem. But he said it normally cost around 200 bucks.

Rep Power: 261 In MO we can only have 35% on the driver and passenger windows but the back windows could be 5 or even 2.5%. But alot of the kids at my school have like 20 or even 5% all the way around, excluding windshield ofcorse.

Rep Power: 0 In VA it's 50% on the driver/passenger, and 35% rear of that. But, as with most things in this world, with enough money, you can get anything past inspection.

Rep Power: 0 i just got a quote from a very reputable shop today... $90 for 50% on the driver/passenger windows, with 35% on everything behind that (legal limits in VA, i hate my state). However, he can do 20% all around (minus windshield, of course) for $140. I dont know if I'm going to do 20% or 35% all around; ive never seen either but the owner has the 50/35 on his car, so I'll make my decision once I see that. I just dont want it so dark that I can't see/get pulled over by cops a lot.
