I was quoted $200 with a lifetime warranty. That is in a College town in Louisiana. I was wondering what others paid also.

Funny, I was just quoted $350 here in the ATL. 35% all around, not including the 6" strip across the windshield, which is an additional $30.

They're highly regarded in the area so I'm torn. It was just way more than I expected to shell out. On the other hand, I don't know if it's worth it to save $100 and get a less than superior job with less than superior product.

I spent 250 on mine 15% all around without the windshield strip. I hate how the windshield strips look anyways. It was the top of the line tint they had, forgot the name but its supposed to be better than lumar which was about $80 less.

If they're reputable enough to have that price and are guaranteeing it, maybe. That extra hundred bucks may save you many headaches.

And if you do find a cheaper place and they guarantee it as well, but you have to keep on returning to fix wrinkles, peeling, bubbles ect....

personally, I would pay more for a superior product.

I think your area (SD) does have something to do with it. most of the others are in fla and ca with more dense population (and inflation) and are more likely have a higher cost of living. which i guess includes tint.

Yep, those are my thoughts at this point. It will sting a bit when they swipe my CC after they're done, but I'll just try to erase the price from my memory.

And, as far as my wife knows, it will cost $150, just like I estimated when she asked me how much it would be!

I am getting mine done next weekend. I was quoted 130-160 depending on what shade I pick when I drop it off. Will be 15% if they will do it. Pretty sure 15% is actually illegal in Florida but that seem to make a difference on my last car. I am getting my car done at the same place I got my last car done at as well. I got that car tinted over 9 years ago and just sold it. The tint still looked like new. No bubbles, no fading, no peeling. This guy doesn't cut any corners on quality.

People need to post what type of tint they're getting quoted for. It can make a huge difference. I could have got Suntek Carbon all around for $150 but I went with Formula One Pinnacle all around including windshield strip for $280. Depends what your looking for.

Here's the tint thread for reference
