Back window tinting??

[gapeachsp5]

As you can see in my sig, my side widows are tinted, but the back glass is not. (DIY job is very difficult on the back window.)

Anyway, how much is a fair amount to pay for just the back window tinting? Say 20%? What about the windshield strip too? (I was quoted $195 for all the windows and the strip at one point.)

I'm a female, and always feel as if I'm gonna get ripped a new one by any kind of car place. If I have some idea of a price in mind, I'll know whether they're just blatantly screwing me over or not.

Thanks in advance guys...

I pay $20 per window to get tinted. It is through my brothers friend so I may get a little bit of a deal but I honestly don't think I do.

I paid a total of $140. That didn't include my sunroof.

$20 sounds right. Usually comes out to $2o a window roughly. Your ride looks good too btw (thumb)

Thanks!

I paid $229 for the entire thing.

I spent $150 for the sides and rear on mine.

Oh and here is a pic of mine just for s**** and giggles... I personally don't like when they tint the front sides a different shade than the rest of the car so I got the same all the way around!

yea prolly about 30 bux or less would be a good price.

Yeah I like the same all around as well. I have 20% on the sides and am going to get 20% on the back. So far, I haven't caught crap from the police about my tint. **knocks on wood**

15 all the way around for me as well as sunroof

i dont know about u guys but in the state of texas aslong as you have driverside and passenger side mirrors you can completly blackout you rear window and they wont hassle you. i use to have a window sticker that made it almost impossible to see in, but easy to see out of. unless it rained ..

When changing tint shades is done right, I think it looks pretty darn good?

Mine are:
Front Driver/pass Windows @ 38%
Back Roll down windows @25%
Triangular glass on back doors/rear sides and visor @20%
Rear glass is 38%.

In Ohio anything less than 50% on drivers/passenger doors and rear glass is illegal. I;d have the whole car done in 20% if I could get away with it.

Home-jobs tend to look very crappy - way obvious.

The best $229 i spent was the all around tint. All new/warrenty/quality.

Spend da' dough!

Actually, the sides are already done (the "home" job) and look good. The hatch glass just isn't done b/c it's so difficult to tint w/o experience.

Yes, you are correct, your car looks good and I would have never noticed it to be different shades! Cheers to you!

In PA, the Rear windows(I believe) can be tinted with Limo tint 5 times over and still be legal, it's all about the windshield and side driver/pass. window!

Has the tint on the rear glass caused any problems with the de-foggers. I've been told by a few people that it can cause problems.

Thats what I have always been told but so far, on 4 cars, the defrosters have never given me any problems. The 4 cars I have had tinted were: '86 Lincoln Mark VII, '93 Honda del Sol, '03 Protege5, '95 Honda del Sol.
