Window Tinting

Hey guys, for those of you with a Supercrew, what have you been paying to have the whole truck tinted? I want all the doors, the back glass, which is not a sliding window, and a decent strip on the upper windshield. Also, any way I could see what a 27% looks like? That is the max in Colorado, but if I want more, I'll try and get it.

Any coloradoans know of a good shop in the southern Metro area?

Thanks gentlemen.

It is going to cost me $70 for the front two windows on my truck. (the back are factory tinted) Tint price varies widely from place to place you may want to post in the local section with this one.

Here in IL there is a shop that tinted my supercab truck for $165. That was all the windows and a 10" strip on the windshield and the tint was 5% that i put on. And the back already had factory tint so its pretty dark and pretty much cant see out of it or in it.

From where I work a Super Crew would run $249.95+ Tax
That includes everything but the windshield. Any shade you want (we have 35%, 20% and & 5%). Price does not change for percentage. The only difference in price would be if you have a rear sliding glass; and that would be an additional $20.
I have some customers that say this is higher than the competition, and some say it's cheaper. I'm not really sure, I guess we fit somewhere in the middle.
But do keep on mine that our tinter has been tinting since 1980 (the dude could do this stuff in his sleep). As well, as including a lifetime warranty. If the tint would ever peel, fade, bubble, turn purple etc., we'd fix it wither it be in a month or a decade.
I know a warranty is only as good as the person/company offering it; so keep in mind we've been open since 1975.

I'm in sales if you can't tell...
sorry for the rant, it's just easier to type up my little speech.... haha
anyway, this wasn't meant as advertising, it was meant to give the OP some perspective. But hell, if it sells something maybe i can get my boss to buy me lunch or something...

Edit:
If you look at my pics (Website in Sig) my truck has %35 on the front 2 windows, %20 on the rear side two and rear window; and %5 on the windshield brow. Also, my truck's been tinted almost 2 years now.

I have a supercab and had all of my windows (no windshield) done in 15% with rear slider for $140 and opted for no free 5% brow as it obstructs my view. Lifetime warranty and I watched them do it in about 30 minutes.
