Car Window Tinting

Hi guys,

I'm planning to tint my windows soon. If you don't mind sharing, how much did you pay for your tint, which windows did you tint, and where did you go? I would like to tint my windows in the Bay Area, preferably around the Silicon Valley area. Please let me know about your good and bad experiences with places. Thanks in advance!

my dealer has a tinting shop right next door and they did it for free as part of the sale. 20% on every window (except the windshield)

My dealer has a person who they contacted for tinting. He went to my office building and had it done while I was at work. Got it for free too!

Denver, CO...Infiniti of Denver is the BEST dealership I've ever been to. Ever.

(I'm from Colorado, just stationed in SC...and actually moving to a new assignment in Florida next Tuesday)

SCBLKG37: Wow that's quite a deal! I just went to a place the other day and they quoted me $350 and that was only for 3 windows.

hispeed-lowdrag: I wish my dealer had a tinting place next door. In CA, I'll get pulled over for a 20% tint.

Wlmngtn310: How did you get it for free? That's awesome!

My dealer gave me such a hard time when I was purchasing my car. Being that I was 20 at the time and with little credit history, although a damn good score, they had me running in circles and asking for too much crap (although they blame Infiniti Financial). In the end, I got me a co-signer and a free tint!
