Window tint - what's the going rate?

Wow, some of you guys paid a lot for tinting. I paid $129 for the whole car besides windshield, 15%. Also came with life time warrenty.
 
Damn,
whish I could get this kind of concise info to my post on the MEPP warranty?

Rock on

Need mine done to, I've done some, but only on easy side windows. came out fine, but for 125 I can let a pro do it
 
I got mine for $190 with the Life Time Warranty from Elite Advantage Tinting here in Orange County, California. And that's $190 for all windows except the front windshield and any car. They come to your house and do it.
That's a pretty good deal, it's so expensive up here in Norcal that if and when I do tint I will do it my self. Oh and I won't do the fronts (passenger/driver side) because I've been stopped too many times before...(protest)
 
It's been almost seven years since I got my last car tinted. Looking to get my Speed3 tinted soon. Was curious to see how much y'all paid for your window tinting (barring huge hook-up deals :) ) so I can gauge the current rate. How about the brand of tint/warranty? The brands that come to mind from my previous experience is Solargard and Llumar. Also, debating if I should get the tint strip on the windshield or not. Yay or nay?

I got 30 front 15 back high grade film done by the dude that tints for ferman ford.
he did 5 windows ( I did this special tint myself on the triangles) in MY garage for $110 while I drank beer.
no bubbles


The altar high front seat would keep me from an eybrow, I did my old car with a 10" strip but I sat 3.6 " off the metal in that car
 
$220 for a carbon stable film (35 fronts-18 the rest. No metal film-lifetime guarantee. Sixth vehicle I have done at the shop and never a problem.
 
$510 for 5& all around and a "eyebrow" above the AS1 line for Formula One Pinnacle-grade non-metallic.

$279 for Formula One. All 7 windows and the eyebrow/racing strip. Lifetime warranty. The Tint Pros in HB. They have done all my tinting. I've never had an issue.
 
$180 for all the tintable windows as dark as FL law allows using Llumar with a lifetime nationwide guarantee. Also got a 15% ~6" windshield strip.

Just got my fiancee's car done this past weekend by the same guy for the same price...
 
Just got a quote for $129 for Suntek Tint Film w/Lifetime Warranty. $109 if I have my wife's Protege done, too. Not going as dark as some y'all. Going with the FL legal limit of 30%. Any feedback on Suntek film? Saw a member chime in earlier about it and that's it.

FYI,

You can go to ~15% on the rear windows in FL. 30% is the legal limit for the front windows...
 
Didn't know if the unmatching tint would look good or not :confused:
 
Should be OK. All the mini-vans, Suburbans, etc. have rear windows darker than the fronts. Pretty sure even the stock tint on the Speed is two different levels.
 
$120 bucks for all 7 windows, Suntek film. If you can try to get llumar tint, it's the best in the industry from what i hear.

There's stock tint on our cars?
