I paid $260 OTD during a President's Day sale which knocked off a few bucks, and I asked to take off tax which they honored as well. I've heard some insanely cheap prices depending on where you're located. You could search or post in the regional section and see what they have around.

Where did you get your windows done at? The best I've found so far is Steve's in Upland at $299.

Try Astro Eclipse in Placentia. I think the price went up a bit since I got it done, but it should still be very competitive. Damn, you're like the 7th person I've referred, I should start getting a discount there lol.

I don't know which one is better. But I have Formula 1.
Aside from price and quality, one area people often overlook is quality of installation. You can take best tints available, but if installer does crappy install, whole car will look like crap. So I would recommend whatever product that you choose, try to get referrals and experienced installer.

My installer said, if you want the best, you got the best here. After tinting, he was not all that turned out to be. There are some bubbles and dirt here and there. Since I have lifetime warranty I might go back and ask to be redone.

Thanks for the advise. I got a price here of $185 for all around except windshield for the Madisco Charcool, guy says he has been in the field for 25 years. He says why pay an extra $ 150 more for F1 tint, when there is barely any difference. He states he does quality work, takes his time to get the job done. G37 would take 2-3hrs max. He is located in Kenilworth, Jersey Welcome to AZP Installs . They do tons of subarus, 350, nissans etc. So I guess I'll go for that, was really leaning driving to delaware for F1, somewhere I read F1 looks more classy,elegant/sleek. Then somebody told me tint is tint, so long as you dont get the cheapest type. Somes places here do the whole car for 95 dollars.
