ok the place in carroll duff recomended me to says it costs 160 for my back 3 windows and hes uses 3m tint. i think thats crazy high but maybe its just me.

I think for all mine it was around 200 something, that price sounds good. You have to account our back window is rather big.

i paid $125 for mine.

i paid $160 for all of mine. Lifetime warranty.

I wonder what the tint laws are in TX? I guess I could google it.

I'm glad you guys posted your prices. I would have imagined over the three hundred mark.

realy the prices arent that bad, its just if its illegal or not.

on another note you still want a sig herc?

Depends if its a local guy or a shop, shops here charge 275 for all 5 windows

A local guy off of craigslist came and stripped 4 and put new 4 on for 100 and a windshield tint strip for 20 $

sure do. Did you get the pics I sent? If not I'll resend.

35% up front, 20% on the back doors, and the rear window can be as dark as you like it.

My windows cost me either $140 or $160, with a lifetime warranty.

Get online and see if you can find other people's reviews of the place you are going to have tint your car. That is the best advice I can give you. I rolled the dice, going with a small business that was only a few months old, and it paid off. Not everyone would get so lucky, though. Word of mouth is the best way to find out if some place is worth your money.

here in flint its $190 for all 5

$125 for all 5. Will not be returning to that guy.

I paid $210 for 35% gray lumar with the highest UV and solar heat rejection percentages. That is on a 4dr with a 20% windshield piece. Lifetime guarantee. I have had 5 cars tinted there. My 93 had a window bubble in 2002 and they replaced it with no problems.

My wife's 2 dr Monte was $185 IIRC for the same.

I'm always afraid of it ending up with that nasty purple and hundres of bubbles look. Is that a poor DIY job I described or a crummy pro job? I see ton's of those running around here. Along with ton's of "tint" shops that just from the outward appearance turns me away.

I feel the same way Herc, that's why i've been pushin' it off so long. I want to find a decent place to get mine done.

more than likely those crummy bubbles and purple are DIY jobs. I do know that a crappy tint film will turn purple but if the tint shop is fairly reputable, it shouldnt be a problem. You could ask to see some of the shops work in order to ensure that you will get a quality job. And every tint shop I have heard of that was reputable offers a lifetime guarentee so look for that as well.

That being said, I dont have tint.....yet, but Ive been around plenty of people who have gotten it.

Also, dont let a "creepy" looking shop turn you away. Theres one here in Flint that is the crappiest dump but puts out awesome looking tint. Just do some research and you wont have to worry about it.
