typical price for states where its illegal for window tint. i paid 200 for 5 windows to be tinted. im about to pay 80 euros (110-115 dollars) to have 2 windows tinted.

Yeah. That's fine. I think I was estimated around 175$ at two different places. It's worth it though. That back window is a bitch with the dotted pattern and you get a warranty.

My back window already has a small smal tear in it and they say it was my fault. oh well its not a huge deal. Hardly noticable except for me.

Umm Like 4 years ago it cost me $265 to have 15% (darker than leagal...35% is leagal) put on. I rolled like that for about 3 years till the state of Mississippi cracked down on my arse and I had to pull it off.

What state are you from Mustang Power?

Base price for me in OH is $190, lifetime warranty, 4 door sedan, legal tint. However, I'm going to upgrade to a more premium tint for $220.

According to your state, you can only have 30% all around, no darker. This is a pretty decent tint though, better than most states.

Some places will not install illegal tint, and those that will usually charge an extra fee. My old car was +$50 in Ohio.

I personally would get 30% all around, I think it'd look good. I also personally do not really like limo tint or dark dark tint. The lighter tints give it a more shine/reflection/gloss about them.

I've got 35 in the front and 15 in the rear. I would have gotten the front darker but didn't want to risk it. Was going to clean the car tomorrow so ill throw some picks up and you can get an idea of what around 30 would look like

i paid $165 for all my windows tinted i got 35% and it was premium tint. as for the dot matrix on rear window see if they can put some vinal across it believe me it looks alot better. shop around find a good shop.make sure you get lifetime warrenty you dont want it turning purple or get bubbles in your tint cuz that can happen in like a year with cheep tint stick with 3M or suntech tint

I payed $180 to the shop that put my tint on 5%. I also had to give the guy that tinted it 20 bucks. The person that owns the store said if they get caught putting illegal tint on, the shop has to pay a fine. The owner said if they get caught it comes out of the guys pocket that tinted the windows. That was the reason for the extra $20.

It is 5% on the back and sides. I don't like tint on the front, so I got a 6 inch piece of black vynal for the front. It keeps the sun out completly, and saves the dash of my cars. You can get it at any of your decal or vynal shps.
