How much should window tinting cost?

I have an '11 G37 and am looking at getting my rear window and side windows tinted. What is a decent price for this type of job?

I paid 300 at a reputable shop with a high quality tint gauranteed for life of the vehicle. You can prob find cheaper for a good tint job though

i paid 135 for my G and then 165 for my Z cuz i got the strip on the windshield. Quality tint, guaranteed for life against fading/peeling. My guy normally charges a bout 175 for a normal tint job when he works for mercedes and infiniti by me but i get a deal from him cuz ive used him for 5 cars and sent friends to him.

You can usually find a good place to do it anywhere between 150-200. 300's kinda high for tint.

You shouldn't have to spend over $200 for a warrentied tint. Some of the best tint shops cost between 170 and 200 for all windows including a warranty from fading.

i paid $160 for my coupe. got lifetime warranty and it came out really clean. make sure you look at the shop's track record before bringing your nice car to them. Im a firm believer in that you get what you pay for.

paid $125 or so for 20% all the way around.. most tint shops it should average $150'ish for any coupe... anything over is a rip off.
