Mine is $190 for basic. But I'm upgrading to a little bit better tint for $220. They call it "comfort style" tint. It blocks out more heat and such.

Paid $200 for all windows and windshield visor (strip). Lifetime warranty included.

I wouldn't suggest going darker than 20% in the rear. Limo (5%) is really hard to see out of at night especially while backing up...I definately learned that the hard way with my first car. I've got 35% fronts and 20% rears to stay legal. I would prefer to have 20% all around imo looks the best and is still easy to see out of.

if you get pulled over with 15 or 20% the police are going to bust your ***** just get 35% all the way around and you should be fine.

Sorry to bust your luck here, but PA is extremely strict on window tint laws.

70% limit all around; front sides, rear sides, and rear window. No tint on front windshield and No strip of tint on top of front windshield.

Glass from the factory is already tinted, something like 85-90% maybe, somewhere in there.


So basically, if you get any tint at all, it's going to be suspicious to the cops. I personally say that you've had the mustang this long with no tint, so just get used to it.

In Massachusetts we are not allowed to have anything darker than 35% on side or rear windows. Windshield cannot be tinted at all except for the visor strip.

I just had mine tinted this week. I was charged $260.00. The installer did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job. He may charge a bit extra, but it was worth it.

The place I'm going to has different types of tint. Some block out more UV's, more sun light, are more reflective, etc. etc. etc.

They have I believe 5 different levels/types of tint (all black/charcoal):

Their premier tint is $480. That's ridiculous.

You just simply can't have any tint on the front driver/passenger side windows.

At least you can go any percentage you want on rear passenger sides and rear windows.
To me, that's not as strict as PA.

You can't even tell 70% tint

Paying over $150 for tint is ridiculous in my book. I dont care what type it is all you need is black tint that does the job.
