IMO, you get what you pay for. Mine was $280 for FormulaOne Tint installed by an award winning installer.

this is very true so go someone that does a great job you get what you pay for. i just got lucky and the job was worth the money i spent, also was very close from my house so that was a plus. make sure you get a lifetime warranty for the job for color fading, peeling tints, bubbles, and stuff

Depends on the tint. Some tint jobs can run in excess of $300, on average it should be around $150-$170 for LLumar tint.

the good tint here in AZ is about 450 installed, 75% UV blocked, lifetime warranty etc.. I got mine done for 290. Not as good of tint, but still lifetime warranty with 5% rear and quarter windows, 20% front windows. 50 % UV blocked too.

I think people should put if they had all 5 or just the back 3. I paid 250 for all five. Charcool tint, lifetime warranty. A good tint job should be around 200-300.

Luckily dealer asked if I wanted it tinted to Guam regulations which is basiclly whatever you want. I have 5% all around and have about a 6 in wide strip on tp of windshield.....would have got whole front winshield tinted 5% too but won't let me drive on base like that.......plus it's hard to drive at night! LoL
