Window Tint?

Seriously, how much should I pay for a good window tint for my car? Some charge up to $800 while others are merely $150. Is there a real difference? What would be a good figure to pay?

There are differences in quality and materials that cover the range of available window films and brands.



To directly answer you the most I would pay is $300 -400



Everyone seems excited by the tint laws, but contrary to what these folks write there are superior films in light vlt's that reject heat. These are the ceramic films by Pinnacle, FormulaOne and Huper Optik. Certainly check your tint laws at http://www.tintlaws.com/about.html



Cheap dyed films - $100- They turn color and fade fast. Make sure that you get a warranty and read the color change area.



HP- High Performance Films. These are metal and dyed mixtures. Generally $125-200. Read the warranty twice. Some tricky manufacturers do not cover the color change or fading of the film to clear or limit that to three years. There are different dye methods some very stable.



LLumar ATR is our preference or the FormulaOne Comfort Series at http://www.formulaone.com



All metal films are next. Super stability no color changes - figure $150-250



Top of line: Ceramic and nano-ceramic films $259-400



Buyer Beware- Always.
There are different kinds of tints you can get. If you're in/ around Boston try tint king (www.tint-king.com) i think thats the site. Either way, they do excelent work, and I can get it done for around 300 bucks w/ nice tints.



Just make sure its legal where you live.



300 bucks or so should be good.Window Tint?
%26lt;%26lt;NOT a fan of window tint AT ALL....It's a magnet for cops who think you may be hiding something.



PLUS, it's ILLEGAL in several states, so check the local laws before you spend the $$



However, if you live in the South where the heat is ridiculous, then even I would be an advocate for tinted windows!



Houston, TX is a B*tch in the summer.....glad I live on the East Coast...whew!!
Before you pay anything, check the local/state law on after factory tinting. In California they can make you replace the glass if after factory tinted. The law says something like co add on to make darker than factory supplied. In some cases you can get away with additional tint of the back side glasses only. As far as price, check with the BBB for complaints about the company and make sure you have everything in writing before start of the job.Window Tint?
150.... anything higher is nonsense...

They will charge what the market will bear and tell you that your getting all this special UV protection and a lifetime warranty...

Screw that double talk....

Good tint and good installation will probably outlast the car for you anyway...
between the 800 and 150 is usually the people putting it in that can charge you more or its the manufacture that well be more or less depending on the quality
