I'm trying to find some places in my area to get my windows tinted and so far I've gotten this price.

$199 - Standard 3 year film
$229 - lifetime film

What do you guys think of those prices?

Thats not too bad really. A place in a bigger city by me does all rear windows and side windows and banner on front for $225 with lifetime warranty and any darkness. I got mine done for $175 without the front banner. But the shop is my uncle's and i preferred no banner because i dont like the suddent break to darkness, i prefer the gradual fade from stock.

That price isn't too bad. Around me (I'm in Northwest Indiana), prices are a little cheaper. I think I paid like $125 for mine (give or take $10) all the way around, 20% with no front windshield banner, lifetime warranty. Or I could've went to another and paid $165 for lifetime. So I guess it just depends on your area, and the quality of work.

$180 for the GTO (non legal, lifetime) Tint looks fantastic, and it's one of the cheaper places around.. (under the table, obviously)

Why would anyone sell 3yr tint?

Why would anyone buy 3yr tint?

Those prices are right inline with my area as well

I have 20% all the way around no issues. I think it's only 15% and 5% too dark. Technically you can get away with 13% here but if the cop wants to be a prick he will write you for whatever he wants. I've seen people with 30% all the way around get tickets and not people with limo.

With a white car 35 % is dark enough. I don't want to be on the side of the road with my car being impounded because of window tint. :shock: :evil:

I'm in MD. $140 for lifetime + $70 windshield (just done today). Those prices seem reasonable. Yeah, ago with the lifetime. If they do a good job you will never have to test the warranty anyways.
