You guys are all getting raped. I had my whole supercrew done, even the strip on the windshield, for $130 cash.
Just last week I had the tint removed from the front windows and had it replaced with 2 layers of 20% film (the original limo tint had faded). That was only $50.
After the holidays I'm going to have the windshield done too. Just $50.

Good tint will not fade (at least not enought to notice in 2 yrs.) or change color (purple) So any money you may have saved on the cheap tint was canceled out by having it redone.....
Also, having illegal (too dark) tint put on is usually done "on the side" for cash and usually no warranty. The legal stuff is usually a little more, but you get a reciept and warranty.

Well put. The money you spent for the "faded" crappy tint just got canceled out when you had to get it redone. So you ended up paying more than us at 180 bucks.

I had my F-150 tinted when it was cold out, they pulled it in their shop and did it inside. It turned out great. And out here, its $60 for the front two.

Im sorry some of you guys can't tint without making it look like a 95 year old woman...my apologies.


And yes, 80 bucks for some jerkoff to probably go and f something up on my truck while they put on tint that I KNOW doesnt cost anywhere near that, for less than an hour of work, is rediculous, or however the fAck you spell it, dont give a flyin fack.

THANK YOU to you guys that actually HELPED some

I had all the windows tinted in my Explorer for $150ish. I did it in the winter and it took a few weeks for all the bubbles to "work out". After that it was fine for the 4 years I had the truck.

If you really want to save some money, you can always do your own dental work and don't forget to reuse your TP!

$80 isn't bad, that's about the going rate. Well if you want a quality job done. But seriously if you can tint than why would you take it some place?
