Exclamation Tinted Windows

Can anyone tell me how much it costs generally to get your windows tinted. Very very black, like illegally black, is the goal!

I'd ask the cop that frequents the boards, I think he got his windows tinted recently (or I just noticed them recently)

I paid $200 for mine at 15% tinted. I got a deal through a friend, though. It would probably have been more than that if I didn't know him.

Good luck seeing out of those windows at night, by the way. My fiance has a 5% strip at the top of his windshield and it is very difficult to see out of.

You must have a split personality, you called me a bleeding **** on another thread like less than 5 mins ago, then you give me your advice, well thanks anyways, hopefully I can see out, I should, they are suppose to be tinted on the outside not the inside.

If you tint to much for the area you live in then you will get hasseled by cops

don't ask for advice and then be a whiny bitch when people give it to you

5 windows costed me 160 but that was like 7 years ago...i had the windows re-tinted with lumar 3 years ago that only cost me 90 bucks because the guy ripped all my tint off on accident and gave my car back with nothing on the windows, LOL. this stuff is easier to see out of over what i had on the car before.

i sport 5% all the way around on my piece. i cant see **** and i have to roll my passenger window down when i parallel park. so, in this case and this case only i went with looks over function.

Hmm I like how you put "The Cop" in quotation marks. Anyway, check your state law. Our legal limit is 35%. Like King said, I just had my windows done last week. Cost me $195.

No. I replied to this thread before I replied to the other one. I figured I'd offer you my advice, because you asked a decent and relevant question. If you're nice, I'm nice. You're a dick, I'm an even bigger dick.

It doesn't matter which side of the windows will be tinted because either way... they are still tinted. Also, you might want to rethink getting your windows tinted on the outside. The tint will be more susceptible to damage like rock chips, ice, dirt, dust, and anything else that can harm window tint film. Try to find a place that offers lifetime warranties on their tint. It will cost a bit more, but it will be worth it.

Yes it is. Considering the fact that I called around and I couldn't find anywhere that would do it for less than $260, and my fiance paid $180 for his little single cab Tacoma to be tinted, that is a deal. Plus, he did it the way I wanted it done and it has a lifetime warranty.

I paid $140 to get 15% on my car minus windsheild because its retarded to tint that. Would of been $115 for legal tint, but if you want it darker they charge you more around here and you have to pay cash. lifetime warranty on mine too.

I don't know what the laws are like up there in the PEI but here in California if you get the tint ticket it's a 10 dollar dismissal after you fix it or it can end up with a pretty significant fine. In either case it's a law used by the police to allow them to stop and hassle modded cars driven by young douchebags that think laws don't apply to them. Have fun with your summons.

I dont get why the OP is such a ******* dick to ppl that have honestly answered his question. I vote for a ban. This dude has been a dick to just about everyone in every post/thread he has been involved in.

You know how many people we've tried to get banned for doing the same thing? How many times has it actually worked? None. He'll be gone soon enough, I'm sure.

35% on your windshield would look good, granted it might be a little hard to see. (But 35% isn't that dark)

Though, what spike said isn't always true. You don't have to pay cash. I paid with my credit card when they did 20% all the way around mine.
