rallispec Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 depends on what kind of tint you want. 100-150 is probably reasonable for basic tint. However expect it to fade after a few years. i think i've been hearing in the 200-250 range for decent llumar tint. It shouldnt matter what % tint you've got.. it all comes off a big roll. It will be the type of tint used that determines the price. Metallic and ceramic tints will be much more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptan Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah and don't use metallic tint in our car, unless you don't use your radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rony Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah and don't use metallic tint in our car, unless you don't use your radio. I have metallic film and I have no radio problems. Unless they are installing it on the outside of the car, which they shouldn't, it shouldn't cause any issues. My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that the AM reception and cell phone reception would be terrible with metallic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rony Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Radio AM/FM should be fine... Cell, might, if you had 5% all around and on the moonroof and windshield. If you had a proximity sensor in your car, aftermarket alarm, it might be affected as well. My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 80 bucks wow??? where in NJ and by whom if I may ask A friend of my brothers does tinting and hooked me up... Probably should have said that in the post as it skews the price a bit. He is located off of Mantaloking Road in Brick, NJ... Im not sure the name of his shop, but I can get that for you if you really want. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegTapper Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 just under $300 for Ceramic tint. Probably could have found cheaper, but I didn't want to spend time calling around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vodoo-chile Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I just had mine done with 35% on the front 4 windows and 20% on the back for $150 straight. I got the dealer rate plus another $25 off for being a patient guy (I had to wait another hour while they finished). This was for their top of the line (Exucutive they called) with lifetime gaurentee. Like yu, I'm black/black and it looks awesome. I'm going to try and get some pics up soon.

Subastew Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I would say $150 for the low end tints and $300 for the good stuff. My dad used to do tint in TX, so I got mine for free. But those were typically the price ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_O Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 $180 all windows + brow across windshield + sunroof - 20% maddico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott j Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 not a single penny; I installed it myself 35% all the way around (georgia state limit) but that is part of my job (the film I used is the same used by toyota at the port tinting facillities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 35% front, 20% rear. I still need to take some pics. In this state, tint is freakin' expensive for some reason.. Mine ended up being $240, and that's the lower end price, but good film (Llumar). -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peale Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 if you want the ceramic Huper Optik good stuff (65% heat reduction) in New York, it will run around 400 for the entire car. Prob., less for just the rears. I havent done it yet, but it is supposed to be the best stuff. Makes interior last longer as well. I paid $110 for HyperOptik Ceramic, moonroof only. In TX this tint is a real life saver with its high solar energy rejection. I was quoted $400 for all the other windows using the same film.

f1anatic Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I don't think any of us in Chicago is running darker tint than 35%. I paid $200 for 35% tint on the sides and 20% on the rear. In retrospective I really would have liked it darker - 20% that is...but with a black car with black interior it already looks dark enough that cops keep looking at the car regardless. Any darker and I would be in huge trouble. It will be interesting now come July 1st - when City of Chicago (Mayor's Office) will send its minions for zone parking and city sticker enforcement. I am covered on that side but still dark tint on a sports car sure could be grounds for a ticket espec. for the zealous bible-pushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
